Comparing learning platforms? Why Degreed outperforms

Transformation requires a new way to build talent, but most solutions fall short. 

You're searching for the right learning and skills platform, confronted by many options. Degreed and many other platforms offer popular workforce development technologies. But which is optimized to help develop the skills your business needs at scale?

Traditional LMSs deliver structured learning well. But guess what? That’s less than 10% of what your employees need. How can you address the other 90%? 

Degreed adds more value where it matters most.

An AI-powered learning platform (LXP), Degreed is purpose-built and optimized to ensure your workforce is ready for anything.

The Degreed advantage

Do more than consolidate systems. Cut complexity where it matters.

  • Manage learning more efficiently with Degreed’s skills sync, dynamic homepage, and automation features.
  • Create more personalized experiences with automated nudges, proficiency-based insights, and custom AI coaching.

Do more than just transfer data. Tie learning to talent processes.

  • Curate the content your employees need with more than 3,500 potential integrations across your HR tech stack.
  • Go beyond LMSs and basic content libraries—integrate with talent intelligence platforms, HCMs, coaching solutions, assessments, and more.

Do more than train. Deliver deeper, more connected learning.

  • Make a bigger impact through cohort-based Academies, personalized AI-coaching, deeper learning experiences, and skill validation credentials.
  • Create stronger alignment by integrating learning into talent experiences and skills infrastructure.
