Thrive Reviews

The thing that I like so much about Thrive is its simplicity for the end user. It's a really intuitive and and straightforward to use platform. Learners can find what they're looking fow with ease and speed. It does this whilst providing many features that the top priced platforms do at a far more attreactive price as well.

It hides a lot of its complexity, such as AI and analytics with a user friendly interface that people get to grips with quickly as it's remeniscent of modern day tools like Amazon.

There are some things that are missing from the nice to have list, such as detailed and easy to use reporting features.

However, the customer success team and the transparency of Thrive is great and they're really clear on the roadmap of activities. For instance, the new analytics tool has provided some great insight in to what we missed on the reporting side, so the team are working hard to bring new stuff in all the time.

Layout was one of the first things that caught my attention and how different it looked to our traditional LMS

Search of content - We have found this feature really helpful when users are looking for content.

Allowing users to upload their own content through the User generated content feature, without having to rely on L&D.

The auto creation tool that enables us to setup feeds from Get Abstract or Anders Pink

Customisable layout and being able to prioritise these different windows.

Being able to give our view on the development of the software and vote for new features in a social way.

The quiz function doesn't provide us with the feedback/stats that we were hoping for

We found it to transition from a traditional LMS as some of the admin features are very light in comparison. An example of this, is the reliance on external API links to view the data rather than having reports that can be customisable in Thrive can limit the admin experience and does require IT resource to help set this up and external software to review the data.

Emails are not always customised, and notification of content doesn't notify the learner

Lack of information/documentation around the product and the background as to how some of the features work

Look and feel is really key as it needs to be enticing. This is what first got me super excited about Thrive.
How you can add absolutely anything to the platform, links, mp4s, articles, documents, quizzes even events making the platform the main point of contact and information for everyone in the organisation.
The gamification features, points and badges, are fun and appeal to some more than others.
Campaigns are amazing, such a great feature and lovely way to refresh the look of the platform regularly

Some of the functionality can be odd - eg why can't we get live information on points, some people really want to know where they are on the leader board. Having to go through each user is laborious and I would really loathe this job with more than 150 employees!
Would be great to have a 'read and understood' option in learning pathways to have evidence that users have completed their assigned training, particularly useful with compliance pieces where some need signatures as approval of undergoing the training. Health & Safety is a good example here

Using the Thrive LXP is actually an enjoyable experience. From accessing content and resources, creating learning paths, sharing information and resources with colleagues, everything is super simple and just makes sense!

Thrive's eLearning content is some of the best on the market but what really takes them to the next level are there integrations and partnerships with external content vendors like Linkedin Learning, GetAbstract and AndersPink. As well as external subscriptions that clients are already accessing like Go1.

The app integrations with Slack and MS Teams are some of the best I've seen in the industry and there constantly looking at new ways of making accessing content and sharing knowledge even easier.

As an admin, it's super easy to pull data and analytics at a glance, approve requests, monitor learning & compliance and even set up learning campaigns in a matter of clicks.

It would be great if there were more language options for global clients as well as 24/7 support. I've been told both of these are in the roadmap so, look forward to seeing these be added so they can truly offer a global solution.

We currently only use Thrive content which is excellent. We have used it as part of our 'Pull' content and have received excellent feedback on the usability, the clear messages, and the suggestions that are provided at the end of each module.

We don't use the Thrive platform in the business, but I do use it as a customer to learn from others in the industry and from our Thrive partners too. The platform and customer service/support from the team is excellent.

There are no obvious cons from the Thrive content that come to mind. Our learners do love videos and audios though, and although videos are recommended as additional resources, it might be useful to have an audio option (voiceover) for the modules, for the learners who do not get enjoyment out of reading text.

Thrive blends content, community engagements and comms all in one place. It has become our one stop shop for learning and experience and has transformed our learning and organizational culture.

Integration into our business was quite seamless. Users began to use Thrive immediately and two years later the engagement has remained and increased. I have no cons except that it wasnt developed sooner.

We love how easy it has been to add THRIVE modules to our existing LMS. They are short, consistent, informative and engaging.

Initially I struggled to find what I needed in the library, but after a few visits I soon found it easy to navigate my way around. We don't use the LXP and upload the modules to our own LMS.

Increased flexibility and scalability as we expand
Protecting our data
Easy and Simple to use
Integration with other systems
Easy Accessibility for all users

Not yet an app for mobiles this would greatly help with field agents

Fantastic OTS digital learning which covers a wide range of topics. The team at Thrive are quick to react to current trends and frequently release new high quality modules.

No cons for their OTS content. Covers all the key areas you would expect at just the right level for all areas of a business.
