We have used several ones. If I have to recommend a L&D platform, I would say Coursera and LinkedIn Learning.

But more than the platform, the most important aspect is to have a good training strategy. Learning path, skills to be developed, etc.

-> Whatfix
-> Docebo
-> ProProfs

I have used these of which I would Docebo. It has effective ILT-Classroom, easy File Uploading and Converting, powerful Integrations with Popular Software, flexible settings and so on.

We currently use Coursera and in the past tested out LinkedIn Learning and Pluralsight.

All have their use cases with Pluralsight being a bit more focused. I think effectiveness often comes down to how motivated employees are to use the platforms and how specific the use case. If the goal is to learn a technical skill then they can be helpful but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one that works well for training related to soft skills. Of the three I find LinkedIn the most generic since it doesn’t have much in the of testing what you learned via projects or tests, but it’s also relatively inexpensive.

Linkedin Learning worked for our needs.

Currently there are many learning and development platforms.
Almost all the ones I have had the chance to use are very good and effective. They use AI in order to offer a more personalized content depending on the user's profile.
I personally had a very positive experience with some of them, such as:
LinkedIn Learning

Vodafone University
GoToWebinar

Avado
For me, it is important to have the will, because there are plenty of resources, and almost all of them are very effective.

Thoughts on self-healing applications? Any approaches or tools that look promising to you?

Does someone have advice on how they have balanced the risk/reward as it relates to introducing Open-Source Software to organization? My org is dipping its toe into the OSS world and the architecture and risk governance teams are looking to get ahead of these requests by coming up with policies and standards for OSS technology being brought into our environment. To clarify, this is not for software development and CI/CD pipelines, SDLC etc. This is for installing solutions that already exist out there (Zabbix, GreyLog, Prometheus etc.) into the organization's environment. We are looking to provide a balance on the obvious risk with the ability to move fast (like everyone else now).

We are dealing with a specific issue in our VDI non-persistent environment, which operates using Omnissa Horizon (formerly VMware). We are employing a hybrid join for authentication that integrates ADFS and Entra ID.   Here are the details of our problem:   1. **Environment**: VDI non-persistent using Omnissa Horizon 2. **Authentication Method**: Hybrid join with ADFS and Entra ID 3. **Issue**: Users are experiencing difficulties authenticating to Microsoft 365 apps within the virtual machine. The authentication process gets stuck in a loop when attempting to access the smartcard. I would appreciate any insights or experiences from others who have encountered similar issues or have a similar environment working successfully.
