"3 years of excellent learning engagement"

5/5

What do you like best about Qstream?

Qstream has enabled us to carry forward our sales team's development plan with a greater understanding of their knowledge and also their coaching needs while providing one of the most engaging reinforcement platforms that we have experienced. The service that Qstream provide is exemplary, from the content creation assistance to the running and reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Qstream?

The only downside that I can see is that I have to create the questions for each Qstream, which takes me a great deal of thought, but this is my shortcoming and no fault of Qstream, but it is part of the process. Losing the Coaching hub was a disappointment as this, and its integration into salesforce, was going to form a strong foundation for our coaches to build upon. We have therefore had to come up with another solution which is not as effective as the coaching hub would have been. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Qstream:

If you want to reinforce and follow up learning with a field sales team, then I have seen nothing better than Qstream to help you here. If you also want to do a one-off assessment of knowledge then using a "short" Qstream has proved invaluable, just prior to a classroom session, to ensure all needs are covered in the training session. The support that is given from the Qstream team is exceptional. I never have to wait long for a response to a question or for assistance when creating the content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Qstream solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are currently developing our sales teams against set competencies and Qstream enables us to ensure that their knowledge is embedded and that their managers are given coaching prompts. Without the data provided by Qstream this task would be far more difficult and would also be less data driven and more anecdotal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nick, thanks for the continued support and the feedback. Glad to hear that engagement is remaining high and that you are using Qstream in different ways for continuous reinforcement but also to inform focus areas for classroom training with the turbo mode. I'll be sure to pass your comments along to the services and product teams.

"Excellent reinforcement tool with excellent customer service!"

5/5

What do you like best about Qstream?

Qstream is very flexible in terms of the content we can put in to deliver to our clients for an outstanding learning and reinforcement experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Qstream?

Participants should receive an email when they have received feedback on their videos. Managers should be able to provide feedback and complete other management functions in the mobile app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Qstream:

Do a discovery call with them. It will show you exactly if this is the product for you. They will show you the onboarding process and the features and patiently take time to answer all of your questions that are most applicable to your situation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Qstream solving and how is that benefiting you?

Qstream helps us provide excellent pull-through and application with the sales and marketing teams we are coaching. It allows us to walk alongside our clients during the implementation and application phase, which clearly differentiates us from our consulting competition. Qstream truly helps to position us as a unique partner that provides practical application of content and processes we have brought to their sales and marketing teams.

Thanks Adam! Your feedback is welcome as always. The spacing and testing effects built into the algorithm to repeat and asses knowledge and skills are fundamental.

"Qstream for Life Sciences"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Qstream?

Ease of use and time spaced learning. Qstream also provides a great deal of support to its partners. Pricing is simple and straightforward and allows us to focus on implementation with our clients and not haggling on cost per user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Qstream?

Communication templates and plans should be baked into the product, not separate documents or PDFs. Relying on customers to internally share all the instructions and key dates can be challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Qstream:

Work with your customers to plan timing and question frequency well in advance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Qstream solving and how is that benefiting you?

Knowledge retention. Life science companies spend a lot on home-study and workshops. After these are over they need tools like Qstream to ensure that the learners can recall all that has been learned quickly. Clients love the reporting features to quickly see what areas need further training and do deep dives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Paycor & Phil, LOVE Qstream!"

5/5

What do you like best about Qstream?

As a sales organization that takes learning very seriously, our ability to blast out actionable and valuable, bite-sized learning to a busy salesforce is awesome. Qstream enables us to gamify, turn learning into a contest and make it fun as well as productive! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Qstream?

Nothing comes to mind that's a major dislike. More reporting visibility on the back-end, perhaps benchmarking analytics against Salesforce performance to tie Qstream learning to sales results in greater detail. We'd have a huge ROI if we could do that. Beyond that Qstream is perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Qstream:

Have a strong handle on what you want to accomplish, from there Qstream takes care of the rest! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Qstream solving and how is that benefiting you?

Micro-learning for our associates, both sales and non-sales. We're also making learning fun. Finally, we're tackling product and process related learnings and bettering our associates in doing so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great bite sized learning sustainment"

5/5

What do you like best about Qstream?

The fact it was so easy to fit into my day and it challenged me to think which then made me more aware of what I needed to know and apply. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Qstream?

Only thing I can think of is sometimes the screen does not accommodate all of the information in the question so it is difficult to digest. I also think some further follow-up on areas of need or misunderstanding would be valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Our customers love Qstream"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Qstream?

Qstream is an actionable tool for assessing skill gaps, reinforcing knowledge and coaching on-the-job. Very valuable for field sales but getting also lots of traction from HR for other application areas. For participants, the leaderboard has a very stimulating effect, boosting engagement and adoption. For managers, the most striking feature is the hit map with the initial and current level of proficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Qstream?

Navigation has improved with the latest user interface but I still sometimes lose my way between the frontline manager view, the dashboard... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Meredith Odgers of Qstream

edit

Eliseo, really helpful feedback, thanks! Good to see you are using the full feature set on top of the knowledge and skill reinforcement for learners. The manager dashboard and heatmaps are really popular to enable managers to be better coaches for each individual. If you need a refresher on the navigation, please contact your client services consultant who can give you a walk-through of the screens.

"Qstream an Effective and Fun Way to Reinforce Training Content"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Qstream?

Qstream has been an incredibly effective way to reinforce our training content following our live workshops and it's been wildly popular among our clients ever since we implemented it. The competition aspect drives high engagement, and the managers love the robust reports. I've also been impressed with the very responsive customer service reps at Qstream, who consistently answer questions with detailed explanations, in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Qstream?

There is really not much to dislike with Qstream, but it would be helpful if there was a way for administrators to log in as a particular user to see that user's "view" when trying to answer a question or troubleshoot an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Qstream solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a professional training & education firm whose main product is live training workshops, one of the challenges has traditionally been getting the content to "stick" after the workshop. Participants tend to move on quickly and forget what they learned, falling back into bad habits. With Qstream, the content instead remains front & center for weeks and months following the workshop. In turn, clients are more likely to see our training as effective and worthwhile, which often leads to more business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
