We use the following criteria to evaluate this product:
Cost considerations
Coursera’s team licence runs roughly $399 per user per year, placing it in the market’s mid-range. Budgets rise when firms add hands-on labs, certificates or external phishing simulations, so total spend can exceed the headline price. The core subscription still delivers a broad course library without setup fees, giving a reasonable cost-to-coverage balance.

Functionality
Coursera offers many security awareness videos and quizzes, but there are no built-in phishing simulations for hands-on practice. Managers only see simple course-completion reports, so they cannot track risky behavior or map results to compliance needs. Lacking these interactive and analytic features, Coursera delivers just baseline training functionality.

Compatibility
Coursera for Business supports SAML-based SSO and LTI links that let companies plug courses into popular LMS systems, but user lists typically move via scheduled CSV uploads or custom API scripts. Automated SCIM provisioning and native ties to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace security stacks are not available, so IT teams must handle some manual setup. These gaps place Coursera’s compatibility in the middle of the pack.

User experience
Coursera’s interface is familiar and straightforward for most employees and managers, but lessons are usually hour-long videos rather than quick micro-learning, and program admins still need some orientation to navigate the enterprise dashboard and reports.

Customer support
Coursera for Business provides email or chat help during office hours and an account representative for larger clients, but no around-the-clock assistance. The online help center and community forum answer many questions, yet staff replies often take up to a business day. Security courses are refreshed mainly when instructors update them, so new-threat material may lag behind vendors that push monthly updates.
