We have found that our teams have strengthened thanks to the platform. Integration took some time but was on the whole an easy process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

The one aspect that isn't helpful, is that it doesn't support MP4 files, you have to go through another 3rd party platform to embed them into the content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"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! 💜

"Efficient Training with Some Flexibility Challenges"
What do you like best about Trainual?

I really appreciate how Trainual saves time by reducing the need for in-person training. Staff can self-train using clear information on systems and processes, ensuring consistency and saving time on onboarding and new processes. I value Trainual's structured playbooks, step-by-step process documentation, and onboarding paths the most. They make it easy for staff to self-train, ensure consistency, and reduce the need for in-person training. Additionally, the initial setup was straightforward and easy to follow. Although it took some time to upload and document processes, the platform itself was intuitive and simple to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

Updating and editing content can feel time-consuming at times, and the platform can be a bit rigid when processes change frequently. More flexibility and faster editing would improve the experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Astori of Trainual

Love hearing this — thank you! It’s awesome to know Trainual’s helping you keep everything in one place and making onboarding a breeze. Totally hear you on the editing side — quicker, smoother updates are something we’re actively improving. Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!

"Trainual: Our Easy Single Source of Truth for Onboarding, SOPs & Ongoing Learning"
What do you like best about Trainual?

We use Trainual agency-wide as our single source of truth. It powers everything from onboarding and SOPs to ongoing learning and development, so our team always knows how we operate and where to find answers. It keeps our processes organized, and it’s genuinely easy to use and update, which makes adoption across teams simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

I’d love to see a ChatGPT integration that allows users to ask questions and get clear, conversational answers pulled directly from our Trainual content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Astori of Trainual

This is exactly the kind of use case we love to see. Having one clear place where teams can find answers, stay consistent, and keep learning makes such a difference. Awesome news! We recently released our new AI assistant directly inside Trainual, so now your team can ask questions directly in the search bar and get a conversational answer based on your content. If you'd like to learn more our support team is available to help teach you and your team how to use it!

"Essential for Streamlined Onboarding and Knowledge Management"
What do you like best about Trainual?

I use Trainual for onboarding new employees, HR policies and procedures, and as a 'wiki' for company operations. Trainual makes our content more digestible and easier to find, unlike our previous system, WorkRamp. The AI features are great, especially for content creation, enhancing confidence in finding information. I also like the 'rewrite' features, which allow me to adjust the writing style without altering the content. Additionally, Trainual transforms static content into a more engaging experience by embedding gifs and videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

I don't have any dislikes 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 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!

"Streamlines Training, But Searchability Needs Work"
What do you like best about Trainual?

I like that it's easy to add content to Trainual. It's simple to add PDFs, links, GIFs, and spreadsheets, which makes it very easy to add the content we need. I also appreciate the visual appearance of the platform. Often we're adding PDFs for individuals to access easily, and they can download them without hassle. It's great to be able to update or trade them out if something changes. The links help us share videos and other resources with clients and candidates in one convenient spot. And we're strong in our GIF game, so it's great to have that consistency in how we communicate as a team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

I think one of the biggest hurdles is finding information once it's in there. I've been working in it for almost four years now, and I still struggle with where information is kept. So I think there could be an easier way to see the information and easier ways to find the information. Maybe tabs at the top that's breaking down each section, more easily accessible and always visible. I do wish there was a better way for the person maintaining Trainual to flag information that needs updating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Astori of Trainual

Thank you for such a thoughtful and honest review, it’s clear you’ve spent a lot of time building in Trainual! We’re really glad the flexibility around PDFs, links, visuals, and updates has been a strong fit for your team.

We really appreciate the feedback on searchability and organization, especially as content grows over time. If you’re open to it, our CX team would love to connect and help you work through structure, navigation, and ways to surface content so things feel easier day to day. We’re also sharing this feedback with our product team — the ideas you shared around visibility and updates are especially helpful. Thanks again for sticking with us and taking the time to share what would make Trainual work even better for you.

"Trainual Made Documentation Easy—Everything in One Place"
What do you like best about Trainual?

Before Trainual we struggled to even know where to document stuff. Technology sometimes escapes me. Trainual made it easy for us to put everything in one spot and it makes sense! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

I wish there were more ways to drill down topics. I often have to go into the content I think the information will be located and Control F and search and if I don't find it I have to move on to the next content batch and do another search. Wish we could find this info without having to click into each content batch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Astori of Trainual

We love hearing how Trainual helped bring everything into one place — especially when documentation felt overwhelming before. Thanks for calling out the challenge around digging into content, too. Between search and our AI assistant, there may be ways to surface what you need faster, and our team’s always happy to help you explore those options.

"Simplifies SOP Sharing but Needs Performance Enhancements"
What do you like best about Trainual?

I like that Trainual makes it easy to create, access, and import content. I also enjoy how straightforward it is to share and assign content. The integration with Loom is particularly valuable, as it allows me to easily copy and paste videos from our Loom library or create them directly within Trainual. Additionally, the initial setup was pretty easy even though it took some time due to a lot of content to import. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

It can be slow at times, lagging a lot, and organizing can be a little difficult while creating. Not sure if the website needs an update or maybe it comes from my browser, but while creating new pages it can take a while to load or save. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Astori of Trainual

Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s so good to hear content creation, sharing, and Loom videos have been working well for your team. We're grateful for the note on the lag and load times — that can definitely slow things down when you’re building and we'll be sure to pass this to our product team. If you want some hands on help, our support team would be happy to help troubleshoot or compare notes on setup and browser performance.

"So Helpful To Keep All Of Our Procedures and Learning Tools In One Place!!"
What do you like best about Trainual?

I really appreciate having all of our learning materials and procedures organized in a single location. I also like how everything is divided into clear sections, which makes it very straightforward to use. Overall, it's extremely user-friendly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

I honestly haven't encountered any drawbacks so far; it has worked wonderfully for our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Astori of Trainual

This is so great to hear! We’re thrilled Trainual’s helped bring everything together in one easy, organized place and saved your team time. Love hearing it’s been smooth and user-friendly all around! Thank you so much for being part of the Trainual community.

"A Game-Changer for Policy and Procedure Management"
What do you like best about Trainual?

I love Trainual's intuitive design, which has been instrumental in helping me organize my thoughts and create policies and procedures with ease. The ability to insert multimedia elements such as pictures and videos has added significant value, enhancing the clarity and engagement of the materials I develop. I am particularly impressed with the AI integration, which saves time and effort by translating and adjusting tones effortlessly. This feature has been incredibly useful, streamlining communication and training processes. The straightforward setup, thanks to the helpful assistance from the team, made the initial adoption smooth and stress-free. Additionally, Trainual has resolved 80% of my former challenges in maintaining consistency and accessibility of information, which previously plagued my team when using word documents and Google Drive. Recognizing if team members have accessed and responded to materials is also a valuable benefit. Ultimately, Trainual's ability to save time and effort in training and creating company procedures has made it an indispensable tool, and its profound impact is why I constantly recommend it to others. My admiration for the developers is immense, as their platform has truly revolutionized my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

I don't like the current search functionality in Trainual. It's difficult to search for information by keywords effectively. People have different ways of phrasing topics, and as it stands, it's challenging to locate the necessary information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Astori of Trainual

We may have just screamed reading this review. 😂 So glad Trainual’s hitting the mark for your whole team, from the cleaning crew to the CEO! Appreciate the heads-up on search and Arabic AI, we'll definitely make our product team aware of your feedback. Thanks for being such a great part of the Trainual community.
