100. Degreed for Enterprise
Most rankings reward age, not innovation.
The longer you’ve been around, the higher you climb.
It’s a seniority system disguised as a meritocracy.
So when a fresh platform lands at #25 out of 100, eyebrows go up.
“How did that happen?”
“How did a newcomer leapfrog the old guard?”
Simple: Learner Journey does the stuff that actually matters today.
Not the stuff vendors have been polishing since 2008.
Not the stuff committees obsess over.
The stuff people actually use.
The stuff that makes learning move faster, not heavier.
Most LMSs are built like airports:
layers of terminals, endless signage, and too many places to get lost.
Learner Journey is more like a bike:
hop on, pedal once, you’re moving.
That’s why it sits right at #25—above 75 platforms that are “more mature,” “more featured,” and “more enterprise”—but somehow less useful.
Meanwhile, the top of the table is filled with giants—Cornerstone, Docebo, Canvas, Moodle—big, important systems doing big, important things.
They win on integrations, compliance, and history.
And that’s fine.
But when it comes to speed, clarity, and modern creation, they move like tugboats, not jets.
Learner Journey?
It’s a jet.
Instant pages.
AI-first everything.
Safe AI workspaces.
Social learning baked in, not bolted on.
A modern UX that doesn’t need a training course to use.
That alone vaults it past three-quarters of the market.
So yes—#25 makes perfect sense.
Not because Learner Journey is trying to be an LMS.
But because everyone else is trying too hard to be one.
The Justification: Why Learner Journey is #25 Out of 100
Let’s break it down without the fluff.
1. Why the 24 platforms ABOVE it rank higher
They didn’t win because they’re better.
They won because they’ve been around longer.
They have:
• 10–20 years of enterprise baggage
• Massive integration ecosystems
• Thick compliance manuals
• HRIS connections built through hundreds of RFPs
• Large libraries of prebuilt reports
• Thousands of corporate customers
These are the “safe picks” for organisations that want everything ticked in a procurement spreadsheet.
But they’re also slower.
Heavier.
Less agile.
And in some cases, noticeably dated.
Learner Journey sits just below them because it doesn’t yet have:
• 300 HR integrations
• 50 compliance modules
• A decade of enterprise analytics
• A global reseller network
Those take time.
But they’re not what modern learning starts with.
This is why LJ isn’t top 10—yet.
2. Why Learner Journey is ranked HIGH at #25
This is where the real story is.
Learner Journey excels at the things modern learning actually needs today:
A. AI-first authoring — top 5–10 in the world
Most LMSs bolt AI on like a roof rack.
Learner Journey builds the whole car around it.
A single prompt becomes:
• text
• steps
• AI images
• quizzes
• certificates
• forms
• voiceovers
• videos
• learning paths
Nobody below #25 gets near that.
B. Safe AI workspaces — top 10 globally
Schools and corporates want AI, not chaos.
Learner Journey gives them privacy, guardrails, walled gardens, and a teacher/SME-in-the-loop flow.
Below #25?
Zero real AI governance.
Mostly “click here to generate text” and hope for the best.
C. Social learning — top 10–15
Most platforms think “social learning” is a forum from 2013.
Learner Journey turns workspaces into communities around content.
D. Speed to value — top 10
Sign up → build → share → gather analytics
All in under an hour.
Platforms below LJ?
Configurable, yes.
Usable quickly? No.
E. Modern, clean UX
No clutter.
No labyrinths.
No 14-step workflows.
Learner Journey is simple enough for teachers, SMEs, and L&D leaders to use without a manual.
3. Why the 75 platforms BELOW it rank lower
They fall into predictable buckets.
A. Creator tools (Kajabi, Teachable, Thinkific)
Mostly funnels, payments, and marketing.
Weak LMS DNA.
Weaker AI.
Weaker social learning.
B. WordPress LMS plugins (TutorLMS, LearnDash, LifterLMS)
Too fiddly.
Too technical.
Outdated interfaces.
No meaningful AI.
No enterprise structure.
C. Simple microlearning apps (TalentCards, Axonify)
Niche.
Limited.
Not full LMSs.
Great for frontline training—bad for everything else.
D. Community-first platforms (Skool, Mighty Networks)
Great for comments.
Terrible for structured learning.
E. Old LMSs that haven’t evolved
Still SCORM uploaders with a dashboard.
No social layer.
No AI ambition.
No simplicity.
Compared to these, Learner Journey is literally from another era.
