The software is versatile and useful in many different ways. > > **Cons**: Need to do more to give customers a full understanding of it's capabilities. If many customers understood the benefits of iCohere, they would get greater use. > > iCohere gave my organization a tool to reach our many members throughout the world. ----- ### "iCohere is a winner for us\! It was the right choice." — 5.0/5 > **Jeffrey** | *16 August 2016* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It provides a fully integrated solution to our training and technical assistance needs, including webinars, communities of interest, virtual meetings/conferences, and online/on-demand courses. It is much more economical in terms of staff time than trying to work with stand-alone solutions that operate differently and require enormous amounts of back-end labor to jury-rig and coordinate. > > **Cons**: iCohere is so feature rich (that's a compliment, not a complaint\!) that it can be somewhat daunting at first. However, I recommend: (a) taking full advantage of the excellent online training materials in the iCohere Academy; and (b) prioritize your goals and build out your iCohere content incrementally focusing on your most highly valued goals and objectives first. As you succeed with each module, your confidence and competence will grow apace. > > We are currently ramping up nicely with iCohere. We've built up several training modules by repurposing existing webinars; eventually, those modules will be grouped into online courses. So far, both the iCohere platform and the service have been excellent - flexible, easy to learn, and feature rich. I'm very pleased with our progress so far; in addition, iCohere has been an important part of our sales pitch to grantors, and it seems to be working\! I've been actively seeking out and using your online learning resources - they are excellent\! ----- ### "Great Tool for Peer Learning Teams\!" — 4.0/5 > **Sue** | *24 August 2016* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Multiple valuable, features, customization options, and ease of use. > > **Cons**: A little bit of a learning curve on the administration side. Could be a little more flexible in terms of file/folder structure and rights, but iCohere has steadily made improvements in this area and continues to do so. > > For the past six years, we have used the iCohere platform for our national peer learning team program as a portal for participants to access team documents, colleagues contact information, event calendar, monthly webinars, emails, and more. It it fairly intuitive for our clients to use and us to administer. We also appreciative the responsiveness of iCohere to issues and improvement requests, as well as our ability to customize the interface. I'd recommend this tool for anyone interested in a "one-stop-shop" solution for online peer learning communities. ----- ### "Both 10 years ago and now - iCohere my first choice" — 5.0/5 > **Sara** | *14 July 2016* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It reflects real-world knowledge of how people/groups work, what they need to do good work and communicate . Its design is integrative, e.g., recognizing how information and roles are interconnected, and thus it links resources for maximum accessibility with user-defined controls on what's needed where. Its design seems to have "thought of everything" - which gives me features as a user that are not only what I expect, but also that give me new ideas for what I can design in. > > **Cons**: I haven't run into any things I don't like. > > I first used iCohere 10 yrs ago for about a year to meet short-term needs of a small start-up organization. For a more substantive effort getting underway, recently subscribed because the brilliance of the integrative core design remains and such a full spectrum of new features are built around it as well as all the internet technologies now available. It seems its designers have thought of everything in advance in the most practical and forward-looking ways. Support is personable and fast in answering questions. User documentation is thorough and reliable. I'm very happy to be back using it and looking forward to exploiting all its features. ----- ### "Excellent" — 5.0/5 > **Linda** | *2 August 2016* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Flexibility to mix media (videos, etc.), add tests and course evaluations without a ton of additional software. > > **Cons**: Although the program says it supports video files other than MP4, we couldn't get anything but MP4 to work. > > This is an excellent product for developing eLearning without customized programming or a large staff. We did our first course (about 2 hours) in 3.5 months (including training on the iCohere program) with three people working about half-time and no special additional software. Now that iCohere allows us to convert webinar recordings to MP4 ourselves (it did not allow this when we started in April 2016), it's even more convenient. Be aware though, that if you're going to have a high-quality course with intermittent tests (rather than one big test at the end), the demo showing a course being put together in an hour is a bit deceptive. There are a lot of settings that need to be consistent, templates for introductions, test results, etc., that have to be developed, and more customization that needs to be done to make your course look professional. You should probably also ask "outsiders" to test it. As mentioned above, all that took three of us working about half-time over three months to develop a 2-hour course. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/31309/icohere?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/31309/icohere) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
