"Best Catalog for Wide Variety of Courses"
5/5

I really like the wide range of courses and the ability to select courses of all different lengths. We reviewed a lot of different sexual harassment courses, and Open Sesame had by far the best one! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There were a few courses that were not engaging at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"OpenSesame Continues to Over Deliver"
5/5
What do you like best about OpenSesame?

We're always impressed with the variety of high-quality publishers that continue to be added to the catalog. When we have an immediate training need or issue to be addressed, we are never disappointed with the multiple options we find, which helps us with a quick solution. We've also had fantastic support from our Customer Success Manager, BJ. He's very responsive to our questions and requests while providing us with more resources than we expect. OpenSesame continues to delight and surprise us with the course catalog and the attention to customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSesame?

Only one administrator is allowed, but I've heard that they are working on changing that to accommodate multiple administrators to manage courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"OpenSesame"
5/5
What do you like best about OpenSesame?

The support that OpenSesame has is very fast, they respond immediately with the solution or work on it at that moment, also another thing I like about OpenSesame is its content, it has a lot of content with a wide variety of topics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSesame?

May be the translation of the content, in my case it is the Spanish translation which sometimes sounds literally translated from the English version (using AI). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"OpenSesame is my favorite business partnership"
5/5
What do you like best about OpenSesame?

The selection of materials, the customer service, the efforts they make to ensure we are always informed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSesame?

There are a lot of cartoonish courses, but others enjoy those more than I do. With this in mind, I appreciate the variety they provide for all learning styles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great provider and partner"
4.5/5
What do you like best about OpenSesame?

We really like the outstanding customer support, the ongoing improvements and additions to the course packs, and the wide variety of topics. Being a global company, we also appreciate the availability of courses in multiple languages. Our L&D team finds it easy to download the SCORM files for our LMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSesame?

Two things I'm not so thrilled about: first, it's sometimes hard to find the content that we need for a particular audience. I know the OpenSesame team helps with curation but they also provide a lot of options that may not be suitable. Secondly, not all publishers are equal. Of the 25000+ courses in the library, there's "hit and miss" in every topic, and a few of them have evaluations that allow to obtain metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Broad Range of Content for any Business"
5/5
What do you like best about OpenSesame?

The broad range of options on any given topic with for many audiences. Most of our employees serve the trades and in addition to corporate feeling content, there is much for construction. I can find options for just about any stakeholder AND their customer service is very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSesame?

There really isn't anything I dislike about this service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customer service and support you receive from them is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No real downsides or complaints. The amount of courses in their library can seem overwhelming but there are good search features and account managers that can help you find exactly what you are looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"OpenSesame has always been helpful, service oriented and quick to respond."
5/5
What do you like best about OpenSesame?

My quarterly meetings with Annie are the most helpful. It almost always feels like there is so much more to chat about in regards to training needs, opportunities, and strategy discussion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSesame?

If I could choose one thing that I don't love is that some of the trainings that I have wanted to use over the years are not part of the "Plus" subscription. I do, however, understand that may not be on the fault of OpenSesame, but rather the content creators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great variety of content!"
4/5
What do you like best about OpenSesame?

Great variety of content. They have almost every possible corporate training topic you may need. This is especially valuable for compliance related training. They are also easy to integrate with Workday (which is surprising to me as this LMS is not best). Their customer service is also great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSesame?

The quality of their training is ok, but not great. There are not many activities that people can complete as part of the trainings integrating those activities to practical application. There are also some outdated training styles or too “creative” (not in a good way), which makes learners frustrated. I would still go back to using OpenSesame if I’m in the market for a content provider, especially when cost is involved as they are very affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very user friendly, a wide selection of courses, and excellent customer support"
5/5
What do you like best about OpenSesame?

Open Sesame is very easy to use, has a lot of courses to choose from and I find the quarterly meetings with our account manager very beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSesame?

The main thing is that we would like more courses in Spanish for our team in Spain. Sometimes the selection is a bit more limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
