Quite possibly the best vendor our firm has used. Great service and support, great courseware

5.0 7 years ago

Pros:

Our accounting and finance firm has had Illumeo as our vendor of choice for CPE courseware the past 3 years and we have been very happy with the level of service, the variety our courses and the overall intuitive user interface on their website. We are particularly excited about the recent ASC 606 Revenne Recognition certification program they now offer. I manage all of the training vendors for our firm and Illumeo is the best vendor I've had the pleasure of working with. Our accounting consultants like the quality of the CPE courses, the fact they range anywhere from 1 - 10+ hours and the ease of navigating the website. As the Administrator, I like being able to run reports that monitor usage. We will continue to use Illumeo as our preferred provider of CPE

Cons:

I can't say there is anything. Illumeo has always fulfilled our needs. Feedback from our consultants is positive as well.

The most effective Learning Management Platform for All!

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: Easy to use, great content, cost beneficial with tremendous center of knowledge sharing and access to great experts to learn from.

Pros:

The vast variety of topics and subject the instructors that the Illumeo team has been able to gather is Fantastic. The ability to be a starting Financial Analyst/Accountant or experienced Controller/CFO/CHRO/CMO, etc. and you can find useful and productive educational courses is Amazing! That along with the ability to easily track CPE credits and build a plan to have that extra push/reminder to get your required learning complete is a nice to have.

Cons:

There are no cons other that this being the best kept secret in the Learning Management Space for all Professionals.

Glad we found Illumeo.

Comments: This is the most cost and time effective training I have ever been on. The fact that you can do it where-ever and when-ever, without the need for travelling is huge!

Pros:

Wide range of topics for a fraction of what we would have paid otherwise to provide staff training. Easy to use platform.

Cons:

There is nothing about this software platform that I did not like. It is available 24/7 for my staff, so they can use it when ever and where ever they choose.

A True Partnership: Instant ROI with solid support from the Illumeo team

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: We've been able to provide a resource for technical training and easy access CPE that saves our people time and allows them to spend more time focusing on clients and their lives outside of work.

Pros:

Fast and Easy Contracting & Implementation. Anytime training on navigation of the site. Ease of use anytime, anywhere. Ability to track progress and utilization of the tool. The technical training focuses are just what our people needed for "just in time" and certification CPE.

Cons:

I honestly can not think of one thing I haven't liked about the user experience with Illumeo.

Rich content for such an incredible value: high ROI for your L&D efforts!

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: Overall experience has been great: once the team has been onboarded, the usage takes off and gone are the days of the expensive, a la carte, offsite training needs (the 'wild west'!)

Pros:

The ease of onboarding full teams/depts, the customer support, the flexibility of how/when to train and learn, the rich and extremely varied content, the low cost, the employee engagement. Great tool for building smart teams that diversify into critical thinkers and problem solvers... love it!

Cons:

I cannot think of a single deficiency!!

Pros:

The ease of use and the ability for our people to choose when they want to complete some CPE. It is at their fingertips.

There are some classes that have instructors that are a bit dry and somewhat monotone in their delivery.

A great LMS tool!

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: We implemented Illumeo earlier this year to provide CPE for our accountants. We have now expanded to other certifications. End goal is to build out the assessment portion and use it to identify people for promotions into leadership or technical experts.

Pros:

Illumeo offers many different options for continuing education. They offer on demand classes, webinars, and then additional long term certificate programs if needed.

Cons:

So far, i'm actually a huge fan of the program. It could be a bit more aesthetically pleasing but I think it's set up with a lot of ease of access.

5.0 7 years ago

Comments: I and my employees are benefiting from online courses, this site is offering.

Pros:

- Dedicated LMS for Finance professionals - Honest self assessment tool - Easy to use - Verifiable credits - Detailed courses - Verified and proven course authors.

Cons:

For me, there is none but for others may be the search can be made more easier. Site has comparatively less courses for CMA which can be improved.

Wish there was an option for a "sixth" star. Amazing system and support. Period.

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: Game changing process and functionality for training/growing staff skills and providing cost effective CPE.

Pros:

My scores speak for themselves. This is probably the only system I have implemented where the benefits have exceeded my expectations. Easy to use, impactful, and an amazing value.

Cons:

I would appreciate increasing diversity of subjects and instructors. Not complaining about current state - simply a comment that the platform can even become bigger via organic content growth.

Great online training tool with in depth education that my staff and I can use anytime.

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: ability to train staff without hiring a trainer.

Pros:

The variety of courses and certifications available and the ability to assign courses to staff based on their skills and areas where improvement is needed.

Cons:

It's only available in English. We have worldwide staff that may benefit from using it in other languages.

Comments: Reporting of staff training. Assignment of courses.

Pros:

The ability to assign training to my auditors. Tracking of progress of courses taken. The variety of available training. The ability to report training progress.

Cons:

We have not found a con yet. Perhaps additional course availability, courses in other areas. We have only been using this software for a few months.
