Thrive Reviews

THRIVE LXP: a Top-Tier Product with an underdog attitude

Pros:

The product itself is world-class. The team at Thrive and their support make it galaxy-class. They go way above and beyond to ensure that implementation happens smoothly. They not only support you with the technical side, but they also empower your team to make the most of the product and leave you with a fantastic game plan to be successful with the tool. Simply, they care about their customers.

Cons:

It's designed slightly different from older LMS/LXP/LRS software. So, it's more of a mindset change than any faults with the platform itself. I'd actually say that this is most likely a long term advantage for them.

Atalian Servest

Comments: The customer service with Thrive is really good, issues are normally resolved within a day and they are always happy to set up a call. The majority of our users love the platform and highly recommend it compared to previous LMSs we have used.

Pros:

I like that the homepage can be bespoke and tiles can be aimed at different audiences set up on the platform. Single sign-on can also be linked to the platform making it easy for users to log in.

Cons:

The reporting and log in page needs updating to make sure all information can be exported from the platform and also making the sign in process easier for non SSO users.

A great LXP which has helped us Thrive

Comments: Thrive has been a great tool that we have used since adoption in 2020. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the way we have supported the learning of our colleagues within our organisation has shifted and enabled us to fully utilise the tools available in Thrive.
Looking back, if we still had a traditional LMS, we would have struggled to offer some of the learning interventions that we have been able to host on Thrive. From auto created material sourced via the Anders Pink and Get Abstract, to Off the shelf content created by Thrive, you can at least feel relaxed that the LXP will have some content before go live.

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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

Thrive's LXP - everything you need under one roof

Comments: Thrive has really improved our onboarding for new starters - during a pandemic this is a massive plus! Everyone gets the same treatment and access to the same content, thereby streamlining some of our people processes and inducting new joiners onto the platform so they can also..well.. Thrive as a result. Interestingly it means anyone joining Huel since the introduction of our site are early adopters and in some way better off than our more established team members to the way we use the platform for updates, learning and seeking our business information. Housing associated content from campaigns and events means we can easily forward content of interest to others with no fuss whatsoever

Pros:

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

Cons:

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

Great platform with great support

Comments: Very positive experience. The team at Thrive are very supportive and knowledgeable. The implementation was smooth and stress free despite being on a very tight deadline.

Pros:

Thrive is very modern and intuitive with a lot of great features and capabilities yet it still remains straight forward and user and admin friendly

Cons:

The platform and the included content isn't as 'accessible' as it could be.

Pros:

Easy of user to end point user, great support team and account management

Cons:

I would like more flexibility in layout. Better search engine and tagging

Thrive keep us informed & connected. A+++

Comments: Partnering with Thrive has been an incredibly supportive, positive, and thought-provoking experience that has fundamentally changed how our global employees learn, connect and engage internally. The Thrive team is unbelievably agile and always pushing the boundaries to make more happen. We love working with them and are eager to see all that the future holds for Thrive!

Pros:

Thanks to Thrive, our team members can easily share content, engage with each other and complete key learning on a platform they love. Thrive was incredibly valuable and impactful before COVID-19 for our global teams to connect and stay informed but since COVID-19 began, it's been an indispensable tool with so many of our teams working remotely.

Cons:

It's honestly hard to find any "cons" about Thrive. The ability to upload larger videos would be convenient, but it's rarely an issue.

Great Platform for Company-Wide Communication

Pros:

I enjoy how well organized the platform is. I can find any educational material, learning pathways, people and posts through multiple software features.

Cons:

Slow loading time for larger files and pathways, however this has improved through the year.

An LXP for today's times

Comments: The THRIVE team really sets you up with success and collaborates with you to set up your ideal site for your needs. More than a transactional relationship, they really hold your hand for at least the first 6 months to ensure engagement and results from their platform.

Pros:

Even when setting the site up, THRIVE has intuitive building blocks that allow users to fully customize their site. This has allowed me to run training workshops, host learning and onboarding sessions, and overall just communicate with people while centralized within THRIVE.

Cons:

As a new player in the market, there are some features of THRIVE that are still in the pipeline that haven't yet been released as of yet to end users. However, they are true to their promise of continually innovating with great agility and it won't be long before they catch up to the big players soon.
