## The panel's verdict

360Learning, the Karlsruhe-based German arm of a vendor founded in Paris, is entered here as talent management, and the scores track that gap. Learning and development is the strength at 6-7: a pre-built ontology of 20,000 skills with import, skills profiles with assessment history and gap visualization, career profiles, upskilling campaigns, learning paths and a SCORM player. Performance reviews and goals and feedback score low because the review material sits in a guide describing the vendor's own company practice, while the product evidences learner self-assessment with manager validation and personal growth targets. Pricing transparency is weakest at 0-1 — no price, pricing basis, tier mapping or minimum term appears, only a free 15-minute demo. Scores spread widest on codetermination and privacy, where judges differ less over the facts — no public information on who may see which data, retention, or minimum group size for anonymous results — than over how hard to penalize the silence. Sovereignty rests on a European imprint while the four sovereignty attributes all came back unknown; integrations and portability sits at a flat 4.

**Speaks for it:**
- Learning and development scores 6-7, led by a pre-built ontology of 20,000 standard skills with imports for an existing ontology and existing assessments
- Skills profiles with assessment history and gap visualization against required levels, plus career profiles with role history and target jobs
- Certified Personio integration with automatic user data sync, a named SAP SuccessFactors connection, and a certified Slack integration for training notifications
- Learning paths, onboarding academies and a SCORM player for structured delivery, with courses authorable by any employee
- Dedicated skills consultants and implementation services support the rollout toward a skills-driven organization

**Held against it:**
- Performance review scores run 1-3, the only review material being a vendor guide about its own company practice
- Pricing transparency scores 0-1: the captured pricing page contains no price figure, pricing basis, module-to-tier mapping or minimum term
- We found no public information on who may see which data, retention of assessment data, or a minimum group size for anonymous results
- AI features — content builder, skills tagging, recommendations, role suggestions, SkillsGPT — are described only as benefits, with no stated inputs, model provider or way to switch them off
- We found no public information on SSO, SCIM provisioning, webhooks, or an export of learning and skills history

**Best for:**
- You want a skills-based learning platform — 20,000-skill ontology, gap visualization, upskilling campaigns, SCORM playback — and will run performance reviews in another tool
- Your HR system is Personio or SAP SuccessFactors and you want automatic user data sync into training assignments
- You build courses with in-house subject-matter experts and want collaborative authoring, academies and learning paths
- You want learners to set their own growth targets and self-assess skills with manager validation

**Avoid if:**
- You need a structured review cycle with templates, rating scales, calibration and kept review history, since the product evidences only skills self-assessment with manager validation
- You must draft a works agreement before employee skills data moves and need published terms on visibility, retention and AI processing
- Your budgeting requires a computable price from public pages before entering a sales process
- You need company-wide goal alignment, check-ins and recognition rather than personal learning goals

### The judges

- **The Head of HR** (v1.0): Runs the annual review cycle for four hundred people and has to defend every rating in it. Wants criteria fixed before the cycle starts, calibration across departments, reminders that chase managers so HR does not have to, and a review history the employee can see and sign.
- **The Managing Director** (v1.0): Runs a sixty-person company without a talent team and wants goals everyone can see, regular one-to-ones that actually happen, and a yearly conversation that is prepared rather than improvised. Has no patience for a suite that needs a consultant before the first review goes out.
- **The People Analyst** (v1.0): Owns the skills model, the succession bench and the training budget. Wants skills profiles with gaps against role requirements, learning tied to those gaps rather than to a course catalogue, talent reviews per key role, and data that can be exported and analysed outside the tool.
- **The Works Council Member** (v1.0): Has to sign the works agreement before any of this goes live. Asks who can read a manager's private note, how small a team may be before survey results stop being anonymous, how long ratings are kept, and whether any AI feature summarises or scores colleagues without a human deciding.
- **The HR IT Integrator** (v1.0): Connects the tool to the HR system and the identity provider and will be asked for the data when the contract ends. Wants org chart and manager relations synced from the HRIS, SSO and SCIM, a documented API, and a full export of reviews and goals rather than one PDF per person.
- **The Skeptic** (v1.0): Has heard "high-performance culture", "bias-free reviews" and "AI-powered growth" from every vendor. Reads for the anonymity threshold behind the anonymous survey, what the AI review summary was built from, whether the "skills engine" is more than a tag list, and whether five years of reviews leave with the customer.
