Videos could do with a spruce up

Campaign creation

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Dashboard and reporting who has completed and risky users

What do you dislike most about this product?

Video's are a bit dated. Sadly Kevin Mitnick died but they are still trying to use his videos and dub the voice... badly! Surely with Heyjen and other software now you can do a better job of making more impactful videos.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Spruce up the video modules as otherwise you have a great product.
