"Great content, lots of choices, and very supportive team members!"
5/5
What do you like best about OpenSesame?

I love the amount of content they have to offer. You can truly find content covering almost any topic and with multiple choices, you aren't stuck with just one piece of content. There are several in every category (it seems) so you can find the one that is the most suitable for your organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSesame?

Nothing so far. We've been very pleased with all aspects! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Content, Super Customer Experience!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about OpenSesame?

It's easy to search and curate OpenSesame courses to customize for your organization. In the last 3 years, OpenSesame has constantly added new quality content publishers with great content and interactive design. With a small L&D team, it is nice to have the great customer support provided by the CSM, Neville, and the OpenSesame curation team. It is a value for the money spent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSesame?

I know that work is in progress. It would be nice to have more OpenSesame courses available in multiple languages audio/subtitles translated into each course. This will be beneficial for global companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Open Sesame Success"
5/5
What do you like best about OpenSesame?

I appreciate that Open Sesame has a wide array of high quality courses available on a range of topics. On any given topic, Open Sesame typically has several courses from which to choose, each delivered in a different style. The courses are engaging and informative, and our staff provide high ratings for their experiences with Open Sesame courses. Locating and uploading an appropriate course to meet our needs is easy, and Open Sesame provides a high level of excellent customer service and support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Easy to use. Wide range of course offerings that meet the needs of our learners at our organization. The follow up when we have a question is so quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSesame?

There is not a lot of content for higher up leadership like Directors or VPs. I don't like that it is not a requirement for all publishers have closed captions on their videos. We value having closed captions so it is accessible to everyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Content. Superior Team"
5/5
What do you like best about OpenSesame?

My 2 favorite things about OpenSesame are their extensive and growing body of content and the professional and attentive staff that genuinely care about my organization’s success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSesame?

I have some specific requirements unique to my industry. These have only been partially met by the OpenSesame library. However, I admit my needs are relatively unique and I OpenSesame can't be expected to provide content on every single subject. I am confident the materials will be made available to me once they find a suitable source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It really makes it easy to implement on our end. Our account rep is also very helpful and thorough! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
