Good but still very young
Hello,
Senseily does the essentials but does it pretty well.
After having it for several months here is what I can say:
- The products offered (courses/ 1 on 1 / Webinars) and coupons are the minimum to be able to set up a school.
- The Admin interface is rather successful.
- The UI on the student-side course part is also successful. I really like the side bar with a list of courses.
- The videos are protected via vimeo.
However:
- The roadmap is not progressing. I'm still waiting for the page builder.
- School home page UI is curcial. But currently since it's not really customizable, that's no way.
I have a showcase website for my school (elsewhere), so I just wanted to redirect my students to the senseily authentication page. Unfortunately, on the login page, you cannot register. Suddenly, the students who go on it and who are not registered are blocked, they cannot register and I lose a student :(
- Many comfortable features are missing: no management of sending emails to students when they register / end of course etc. no certificate etc. Nothing important, but we come back to the fact that the roadmap is progressing not. So it's worrying.
- Senseily is much more expensive than the other deals and therefore the offer is not better (see missing element). The price/quality ratio is therefore debatable.It's my opinion.

May 9, 2024Thanks for your review!
First, I want to apologize for the delay in the roadmap. The codebase grew a lot since the last year and we had to slow down the development speed to ensure quality and reduce bugs.
Secondly, I'm happy to say that the page builder is going to be live this month. Also, other features such as the API, subscriptions, installment payments and completion certificates are coming shortly after the page builder.
Regarding the price, I know it's a bit higher than other solutions but after doing the numbers, we couldn't go lower if we wanted to guarantee the service for a long time.
Thanks!
