We use the following criteria to evaluate this product:
Cost considerations
Skillsoft quotes $45-55 per user each month for team security awareness subscriptions, whereas mainstream vendors charge roughly $1 per user. Softwarefinder notes extra payments for compliance courses, SSO and other options that only appear in the Enterprise tier, signalling layered costs beyond the headline fee. The steep pricing and add-on structure make the overall value difficult to justify relative to measurable risk reduction delivered by lower-cost rivals.

Functionality
Skillsoft largely offers videos, books and quizzes, and reviewers note the security content is several years old and lacks any phishing campaign tool to test staff. Because there are no simulations, adaptive learning or behavior analytics, functionality trails dedicated security awareness suites. The platform therefore rates a 2 out of 5 for functionality.

Compatibility
Skillsoft Percipio offers SAML-based SSO with Azure AD and other IdPs, SCIM user provisioning, and a REST API for custom automations, giving IT teams several built-in hooks for user and data sync. Content can be delivered to external LMSs through standard SCORM/AICC packages, so training fits into existing learning systems with minimal effort. While these connectors cover most common stacks, integration with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace is not fully native, so compatibility is strong but not complete.

User experience
Learners report that courses and ebooks are easy to find and take, yet many reviews describe the overall interface as dated and the admin console awkward to navigate, adding setup time for training owners. Gartner peer feedback also notes a weak admin UI and limited language coverage compared with leading rivals. The experience is acceptable but lacks the mobile-first, gamified design and intuitive dashboards that top-tier tools provide.

Customer support
Skillsoft offers round-the-clock phone and chat support plus a searchable knowledge base. Administrators receive email notices of new or retiring courses each month, demonstrating regular content maintenance. Public material does not confirm dedicated success managers or formal quarterly program reviews, so overall support sits one level below the top tier.
