"Trainual makes my life easier"
What do you like best about Trainual?

Trainual allows me to create systems, and it is systems that make everything easier. The options within Trainual allow me to make it "my own" by creating groups and subjects and organizing the content.

One of the best parts is that our team "bought in" to using it and the users love it! Easy to find the information and training they are using it for. Someone on the team is in the system daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

Once I had the system designed and populated there have been no real downsides. The work has to go in on the front end learning the system and some trial and error on setting it up the way you ultimately want it to work and your purpose for using it in the first place. That's true of any new system and Trainual isn't immune to it. The training videos do make the process easier as well as the direct support I received from the support group. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ben Lofrumento of Trainual

Morris, this is music to our ears 🙌

Love that Trainual’s become your go-to for systems and that your team’s all-in on using it daily. Huge win that it’s taking repetitive questions off your plate and keeping compliance training on track. The mix of self-directed and structured learning sounds like it’s working perfectly for your world — exactly what we love to see.

Appreciate the shoutout to our training videos and support crew, too! 💜

"User-Friendly Training Modules That Transformed Our Onboarding"
What do you like best about Trainual?

User-friendly interface and content creation: It’s easy to build modules that combine text, images, videos, embedded links, and quizzes/tests in one place. The AI Assist feature (content generation and summarization) is especially helpful for getting past the blank-page problem when documenting processes. The hundreds of industry templates also speed up initial setup dramatically.

Onboarding transformation: We were able to cut our average onboarding time significantly, moving from weeks of shadowing and scattered docs to a more structured, self-paced experience. New team members can learn at their own pace, take quizzes to confirm understanding, and e-sign acknowledgments. Managers also get clear visibility into progress and completion rates.

Mobile app works well: The mobile app makes it easy for team members to complete trainings on the go, which is a big help for field or remote staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

Not a full-featured enterprise LMS: It’s strong for SOPs and straightforward training, but it falls short on some advanced customization, deeper reporting, and more complex branching logic that larger organizations may require. The dashboard and analytics are acceptable overall, yet they can still feel a bit basic—or even confusing—at times.

Learning curve for admins: Even though the interface is mostly intuitive, configuring smart role-based learning paths, quizzes, and integrations takes more planning, testing, and iteration than I expected. Some users also mention occasional delays where content updates aren’t reflected right away.

Mobile app limitations: The app works well for completing assigned training, but creating content and handling admin tasks are still much better on a desktop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Astori of Trainual

Cutting weeks of shadowing down to a structured, self-paced experience, that's a win if we've ever heard one. Really appreciate the detailed and balanced feedback here; the reporting and admin learning curve callouts are genuinely helpful and headed to our product team. Thanks for being part of the Trainual community!

"Trainual Makes Training Engaging and Reliable, with Great Performance and Support"
What do you like best about Trainual?

I like being able to make our process seem more alive with GiFs, emojis, and video links. As well as the ease of adding individuals to processes and trainings and sharing when needed. Performance is top notch and I don't have to worry about it freezing or being down. It works well with loom and youtube so we can upload company videos. I don't handle pricing but I will say that with what we are currently using per employee it is a good investment and makes it easy for managers to see what the team is and isn't completing or where drop off is. I have had great experience when asking for help and assistance with using Trainual to its full potential. I use the AI feature when cleaning up and coming up with my descriptions of each step or a process. That makes things a lot smoother and saves me time on minute things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

The only downside is that you can't upload an video that you want without paying for the higher package. At our current size that isn't something that our company wants to do. I do appreciate the alternative of loom and youtube at least. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Astori of Trainual

GIFs, emojis, and video links making processes feel alive — yes, that's exactly the training energy we're here for. So glad the AI features and manager visibility are saving you time and keeping your team accountable. Thank you so much for the thoughtful review!

"Trainual Saves Us Dozens of Hours with Easy Process Documentation and Video Training"
What do you like best about Trainual?

In our small but mighty firm, we are too busy to repeat ourselves when teaching new skills to a new employee or refreshing an existing employee's skills. Trainual lets us document a process or policy once, and it lets me say, "But did you check Trainual before asking for help?" Now this is the way everyone thinks! I feel like we have added dozens of hours a week to our availability thanks to Trainual, and now we have more time to complete our deep work for clients. My favorite feature is that it allows me to add videos showing my actual clicks and talk through a process, then document it also. This helps the visual learners like me! The service is great too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

Honestly, I have not found a true dislike. If I have an issue, I ask for help and I get it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Astori of Trainual

"Did you check Trainual?" becoming second nature for the whole team — that's true adoption! This is so incredible to hear and we are so glad it's giving you those hours back. Thanks for the kind words!

"Game Changer Platform"
What do you like best about Trainual?

I love how easy it is to organize our processes. It is very user friendly and has great user facing look. I love the AI options. I update our information often so I appreciate how quickly I can do that and that a notification goes out to the users about the update. We were using DocSend prior to this and it was so hard to keep track of people's usage. I love the reporting Trainual gives. We will be using the HIPPA template training soon. Overall, very happy with this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

I wish each user had a unique generated link to our site. I often hear that the invitee didn't get the email. If I send them a link and it connects to our account, that would be awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ben Lofrumento of Trainual

Hey Suzanne,

Thanks for the awesome feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that Trainual is a "game changer" for you! It’s great that organizing processes and using our AI features is a breeze.

Switching from DocSend to Trainual must feel like a breath of fresh air! We totally get your desire for unique generated links for users; we appreciate the thoughtful feedback here and will pass it on to our team!

We’re so glad Trainual is keeping your docs updated in one spot, especially with all the changes happening.

Thanks again for sharing :)

"Love this product"
What do you like best about Trainual?

Trainual has been a really useful tool for me in my role. I still physically take notes anytime I learn a new process, but I’ve always been the person who types them up afterward in greater detail so I can rely on a more organized, legible version the next time I need to do that task. Trainual gives me one place to store all of those written versions and make them accessible to co-workers and other departments as needed.

Overall, it’s a very functional and genuinely helpful product. I also like being able to customize the formatting, and I enjoy the flow chart feature a lot for visualizing processes. On top of that, recording and embedding screen shares is something I use often, and it makes everything so much simpler.

I haven’t explored the AI features as much as I’d like yet, but I do love picking out cover photos and emojis to customize my modules. I’ve even told my boss I love working in Trainual because it’s basically my only creative outlet in my role—it almost feels like digital scrapbooking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

I don’t have any complaints overall. That said, I’d really like to see a walkthrough or a guided how-to for using the AI tools. I haven’t felt fully comfortable exploring them on my own yet, and some step-by-step guidance would help. To be fair, these may already exist, but I haven't made time to look for them yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Astori of Trainual

This review made our day, thank you! We love hearing how Trainual has become your go-to spot for organizing processes and sharing knowledge across the team. Digital scrapbooking? We’ll take that as the highest compliment! 📘✨

It’s awesome that you’re making the most of custom formatting, flowcharts, and screen share embeds—they really bring SOPs to life. And you're not alone on the AI tools—our support team is happy to help make them feel less intimidating and way more approachable. Don't hesitate to reach out to them for tips!

Thanks for being such a thoughtful (and creative!) part of the Trainual community.

"Trainual: Effortless Onboarding and Communication Hub"
What do you like best about Trainual?

I use Trainual as our company's main hub to find information, which is especially helpful for onboarding and HR policies. I love that it serves as a 'one stop shop', reducing frequent questions and saving time for both employees and managers. I also enjoy the ability to make content fun by adding GIFs, which makes reading about procedures more enjoyable. The AI feature to change writing styles is fantastic because it keeps our content fluid and coherent, particularly with so many collaborators. Additionally, setting it up was incredibly easy and intuitive; migrating our content required minimal training time. Trainual is user-friendly, reliable, and hardly ever goes down, which makes it an excellent tool for our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

I have no negative on feedback for Trainual at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ben Lofrumento of Trainual

Hey Tom — “damn near perfect” might be our new favorite compliment. 🙌

We’re pumped to hear that the switch from your old wiki setup is going smoothly — and that things like AI search, videos, and yes, even GIFs (the unsung heroes of training 😄) are making the experience better for your team.

Major shoutout for calling out the content check-in reminders too. We built that to save folks from the whole “wait… when did we last update this?” moment — so it’s great to hear it’s doing its job!

Thanks for the kind words — and welcome again to the Trainual crew. We’re glad you’re here!

"Trainual Makes Creating and Improving Staff Training Content Easy"
What do you like best about Trainual?

Trainual makes it easy to create training content for our staff. The features included also allow me to follow up and gain insight into how people are engaging with the material. The feedback tool has been great as well, because it provides a real-time opportunity to refine and improve our content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

It would be great if I could import PowerPoint files directly, and also download them in different formats. At times, the editing functions feel a bit limited. It would also help to be able to change the background across every page, since I’m trying to make the content as user-friendly as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Astori of Trainual

So glad the feedback tool and engagement tracking are adding real value — that's exactly what they're there for. The PowerPoint and formatting callouts are helpful, and we'll make sure they get to the right people. Thanks for sharing!

"Trainual Turns Scattered Know‑How Into Clean, Organized Training Modules"
What do you like best about Trainual?

Trainual excels at taking scattered processes, institutional memory, and “this is how we do it” know‑how and turning it into clean, organized modules. For agencies like DOB, where workflows span multiple systems and teams, that structure is gold. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

Trainual shines with linear processes, but when you’re dealing with multi‑path workflows — like CRM scenarios, permitting exceptions, or role‑specific variations — it can feel a bit boxed in.

You sometimes have to get creative to represent real‑world nuance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Astori of Trainual

This is such a great way to put it — thank you. We love hearing how Trainual’s helping turn institutional knowledge into something clear and usable across teams. And you’re right: real-world workflows aren’t always linear, so we appreciate you sharing how you’ve had to get creative to capture that nuance. Feedback like this is incredibly valuable, we're so grateful you took the time to let us know!

"Efficient Onboarding with Room for Improvement"
What do you like best about Trainual?

I use Trainual for onboarding, capturing completed courses, acknowledgments, and achievements. It's really helpful for organizing training processes and policies. I love how it facilitates onboarding and allows everything to be digital, more organized, and eco-friendly. Trainual makes it easy to adjust training programs, and I appreciate how easy it is to edit and update content. The organization by locations, teams, and groups is fantastic, along with the permission levels which are very useful. With our business having 3 locations and over 180 employees, Trainual uniquely allows us to house all information in one place and enables cross-location managers to view completion reports for accountability. The platform's ability to manage onboarding and training in one place for analysis across all our businesses is invaluable. Since I started using it, Trainual has been very easy and manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

Adding videos needs to be easier / less complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Astori of Trainual

Three locations, 180+ teammates, one place to manage it all — that's exactly what Trainual's built for. This is music to our ears and we are so happy to hear Trainual has helped you organize your processes and policies. Thanks for being part of the Trainual community!
