    Great resource for small L&D teams

    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Our CSM is so helpful and knowledgable. She is always available to support, answer questions, and brainstorm with our small L&D team. We see her as an extension of our team. Open Sesame has been a great way for us to quickly scale organizational wide development programming to all within our company.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Continued focus on early access to courses related to emerging technology (ie. AI).
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    With our lean L&D team, OS has helped us to deliver competency based learning and compliance training quickly to our organization. The Plus catalog gives us the ability to nimbly update our learning paths and internal catalog with timely and relevant courses.

    Great Support, Time Savings, and Better Content

    Reviewed on Jun 16, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Our sales rep and CSM are both PHENOMENAL. They are quick to answer questions, they are able to come up with creative solutions to problems, and they understand our business needs and will do everything they can to accommodate them. One of the biggest benefits of making the switch is time savings. We found that across all required compliance trainings, we are saving an average of 130 MINUTES per team member. Since we have over 5,000 team members, that time savings turns into cost savings for our company! We have found great content in different languages that is actually engaging, which we never thought was possible.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    There are A LOT of choices, and unfortunately, not every course has just one course file for multiple languages. I know this is something they're pushing publishers to do, but it can be challenging when we're trying to make the end user experience seamless
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Providing engaging compliance training that meets legal and OSHA requirements. As mentioned before, the time savings with Open Sesame is an average of 130 minutes across all compliance trainings.

    Fantastic

    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    The breadth of topics and variety of content creators. Their customer service has been extremely prompt with same day or next day answers to my questions. The ability to offer the same training in multiple languages (not just sub-titles) is also a huge bonus.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    We are new to OpenSesame, and the shear volume of content can be overwhelming. We have learned to refine our searches and are getting suggestions that will work for us.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    In the past it was difficult to include our employees on 2nd and 3rd shifts in trainings. With OpenSesame we are able to deliver the same content at all hours of the day.
