"My new essential tool for process + culture building"
What do you like best about PlaybookBuilder?

We’ve recently started building out our playbook in Playbook Builder, and it’s already proving to be an essential tool for aligning our team and bringing our processes to life. Instead of scattered documents and inconsistent training, we now have a central hub where every team member can see exactly how their seat and functions fits into the bigger picture.

Playbook Builder makes it simple to translate our Vision/Traction Organizer, core processes, and accountability chart into something practical and actionable. It’s helping us create clarity, streamline onboarding, and build consistency across the organization — all key EOS principles.

Even though we’re still in the early stages of development, the impact is clear: this tool is helping us build a strong foundation for our culture and team growth. The ability to combine videos, visuals, and step-by-step workflows makes it far more engaging than static SOPs, and it reinforces our core values every time someone uses it.

The support team has been excellent (shout out to Amber!), and we’re excited to keep building. If you’re running on EOS, Playbook Builder is a must-have for scaling your systems and strengthening your culture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlaybookBuilder?

It takes some upfront time to really understand the best way to structure content, especially when aligning with EOS core processes. It’s powerful, but there’s a bit of a “blank canvas” feeling at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The single most important tool for a growing company with more complex training needs"
What do you like best about PlaybookBuilder?

Playbook Builder has been a game-changer for our company. In the past, we had no written processes which meant that we were at the mercy of our employees and at risk of losing important data if any employee left the company. We tried saving information in multiple ways but it was too complex and hard to update and search for. Once we started using Playbook Builder to write up our processes, it has been a breeze to update and maintain and to allow new employees to learn and train on different processes.

It is so intuitive and easy to use that employees at every level are able to add processes in the form that works best for them (written instructions, screenshots, videos etc). This has really enhanced our training and made role transitions so much easier.

We use it on a daily basis and continue to expand the content we have there every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlaybookBuilder?

The cost is higher than other competitors but the functionality and features make it worthwhile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Playbook Builder: It's not about process, it's your company's know-how"
What do you like best about PlaybookBuilder?

Playbook Builder is incredibly easy to use and you can get started very quickly. The secret is to first tak a moment and think about your team members that everyone goes to for answers and help. What they have in their heads is some of the most important information in your company. Playbook Builder allows you to take special knowledge and make it available to other team members. This is allows you to scale, work faster, and spread best practices. They also have excellent customer support and a new set of increasingly sophistitocated AI tools to help you get going on new playbooks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlaybookBuilder?

Playbook Builder's entry level price after the free period is not trivial. If you understand why and how to use Playbook Builder, it's a no-brainer. If you are looking a free or super low cost Wiki-like tool, then consider DIY models using open source tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jon LoDuca of PlaybookBuilder

Thank you so very much for the feedback Jim! We are thrilled that you are having a great experience!

"Robust tool for repeatable training!"
What do you like best about PlaybookBuilder?

As a technical directory, this tool allow me the ability to capture, articulate, and outline core aspects of our product that can be pushed throughout sales and marketing within our organization. Nothing replaces face to face training, yet this tool provides access to top level information that can spur a conversation, while also having a resource at their fingertips when they need a refresher. You can create training campaigns, communicate new or critical information through an alert system, create surveys to gauge the efficacy of the training, and utilize the reporting tool to determine the users progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlaybookBuilder?

Our culture is built on Care, Trust, Quality, Passion, & Growth; this happens best with face to face engagement. It is easy to get complacent in our digital worlds managing so many software platform, and it is easy to lose sight of the power of colaborative conversation. This is less of a knock on PlaybookBuilder, and more of a biproduct emerging technologies coupled with societal shift to more issolated work arrangements. The software itself has all the tools necessary to have a repeatable training and information source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jon LoDuca of PlaybookBuilder

Really appreciate the feedback Joshua...and I happen to love your remarks about digital never being a great replacement for face to face.

""A Game-Changer for Business Processes and Training""
What do you like best about PlaybookBuilder?

PlaybookBuilder has been a fantastic tool for organizing and sharing our business processes and training materials. The platform strikes a perfect balance between being user-friendly and feature-rich. The ability to integrate videos, use customizable templates, and even generate QR codes has streamlined our onboarding and training programs significantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlaybookBuilder?

Some of our users experienced challenges with the platform's video features, impacting the integration of multimedia content. However what keeps us using Playbook Builder is the team's quick response and helpful solutions! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I am happy our company chose Playbook to create our welcome and training videos and lessons."
What do you like best about PlaybookBuilder?

PlaybookBuilder has been great for uploading our welcome messages, quizes and team videos. I like that we can add many sections for each topic we need to address. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlaybookBuilder?

It is not quite as user friendly as I had hoped. I would like to see more assistance being provided during the initial set up. I have not had the opportunity to utilize customer support but will be reaching out soon with various questions I have regarding how to receive quiz results, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Resource For Preserving Company Knowledge"
What do you like best about PlaybookBuilder?

Playbook builder is great for both training new employees, as well as being a handy step-by-step guide so over time knowledge is not lost. I use it as a guide even for tasks I've done dozens of times before, because everyone forgets a small step here and there from time to time. It is easy to implement, and easy to maintain on the fly as processes change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlaybookBuilder?

The UI takes a bit to get used to, and there are some features that could be better implemented for training purposes (proof of knowledge or tests, etc. don't always function as intended.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent tool for HR teams and training"
What do you like best about PlaybookBuilder?

I love that we can store all of our trainings, certifications, SOPs, etc., on here. This software makes onboarding new employees a breeze! This easily integrated with our processes, their customer support is incredible and we are frequently in this product. Our team is able to see who completed what, who watched what video, and my favorite part is the quizzes! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlaybookBuilder?

There isn't much that i dont like, other than from the admin view it does feel a little outdated, interface wise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jon LoDuca of PlaybookBuilder

Thanks so much for the review and feedback Cheyanne!
