Wanted to put the call out to the community to see if anyone else was using third party companies for on-demand labs?

Use Case: We are a software company, and we would like to host sandbox versions of our products, and allow our learners to access these sandbox areas so they can practice with our products.  Ideally, these would be labs that can be accessed from an e-learning course, so that there is no manual set up of a lab for each individual learner.

Has anyone successfully accomplished this? We have been looking at Ready tech and Strigo, but if there are other providers out there that you have all had success with, I would love to hear about it!

We have training environments that link up with our vILTs, but that’s all in-house build and automated. Late last year we started looked at ondemand sandboxes that’d be available with eLearning similar to what you’re stating. We decided to put diving any deeper on hold until Q4 2022 or maybe even next year. The two we talked to that were even remotely promising were Learn On Demand Systems (now called Skillable) and Cloudshare. Cloudshare was the more promising of the two. 

 

Would be interested in what you end up setting with and how it works for you.

We are planning to use Skilable for hands on labs. Any chance we can get Skilable integrated with Docebo?

We’re in the process of implementing VMware Lab Platform (which is now owned by Broadcom).   We’re using Mulesoft as the “glue” to capture the webhooks from Docebo and then trigger our build automation for VLP.   I think you could also do this with Docebo Connect (Workato), but you would need to build a connector for VLP (written in Ruby) in order to handle the connectivity with VLP in a reusable fashion.

 

We looked at using Skillable (and liked their product at least at a demo perspective), but we couldn’t make the numbers work to our budget for the project.
