Comparing Intellum
vs. Skilljar
Both platforms support customer education, but only Intellum is built for enterprise scale across multiple audiences. Skilljar customers often report custom coding needs, limited analytics, static learner experiences, and a lack of innovation, especially after the Gainsight acquisition.
Skilljar and Intellum both support customer education, but Skilljar’s course-centric, SCORM-dependent model often leads to custom coding, limited interactivity, weaker analytics, and challenges supporting additional audiences. Since the Gainsight acquisition, customers also report slower innovation and unclear AI direction.

Why teams choose
Intellum over Skilljar
Built for Enterprise Scale, Not Just Customer Onboarding
Skilljar is optimized for customer onboarding and basic training, but struggles to support partners, employees, and advanced segmentation needs. Intellum supports all audiences in one scalable platform with shared content architecture, flexible permissions, and out-of-the-box personalization.
No-Code UI & Branding Flexibility
Skilljar customers frequently report needing designers or engineers to manually code frontend updates—and each update risks breaking something. Intellum provides clean, modular design tools, dynamic homepages, and AI-assisted UI without developer lift.
Integrated Authoring That Eliminates SCORM Chaos
Skilljar requires SCORM packages or external authoring tools like Rise, slowing updates and limiting interactivity. Intellum includes Evolve, a best-in-class authoring tool fully integrated into the platform, enabling fast updates, richer content, and lower total cost of ownership.
Enterprise-Grade Analytics for Revenue, Retention & Adoption
Skilljar offers limited insights beyond course-level reporting. Customers often struggle to correlate learning to revenue, product adoption, or retention.
Intellum delivers:
• initiative-level dashboards
• assessment analytics
• manager-level reporting
• BI integrations via API & Data Connector
Modern, Engaging Learner Experience
Skilljar’s learner experience is often described as static, simple, and lacking interactivity. Intellum offers a personalized, dynamic, and enterprise-grade UX that increases engagement, adoption, and satisfaction.
Future-Ready AI Strategy
Since the Gainsight acquisition, Skilljar has removed public AI messaging, and customers report minimal product innovation. Intellum is rebuilding the entire platform to be AI-native, powering personalized pathways, content recommendations, creation agents, and more across the entire experience.
