Litmos

Vorteile

Overall I find Litmos to be easy to use and relatively intuitive. When I've had questions I've been able to find the answer in the online help forums nearly every time (in the instances I've had to reach out help has been rather quick and efficient). The content authoring works well for the most part, and the content library covers nearly all of our general needs, which is great. Any Litmos representatives we've worked with have been great. The Dojo is helpful for teaching yourself the platform, and the seemingly endless list of features has been great so far, though I plan to utilize them even more as we grow with our LMS (Assign, Branding, etc.).

Nachteile

There are some quirks, as with anything. If you copy a module and delete the original then you're unable to edit the copy (even though it's completely separate, per their descriptions online). Litmos has verified this quirk. I find the fonts/sizing to be somewhat restrictive within the content authoring tool, and in the same vein the assessments within the authoring can be difficult to manipulate at times, depending upon what elements you add on what page.

Docebo

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Litmos

Overall we felt Litmos was a happy medium between Auzmor and Docebo. Auzmor was lightweight and modern, but almost seemed to lack some features. Docebo on the other hand seemed quite intricate and complicated. Both companies were great to work with, ultimately Litmos was just the best fit for our company.

Vorteile

Litmos was price-effective, easy to deploy. Litmos provided Reports on adoption, Test Scores & track everything in one please

Nachteile

Litmos was less user friendly & can offer better customer support

Moodle

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Litmos

Litmos suited most of our business needs

Vorteile

We have been using this software for the past 3 years and the best thing I love about SAP Litmos is the different ways of training it provides; video, audio and text-based training. It also offers survey questions in relation to the trainings which are helpful.

Nachteile

When we had just started using the software we encountered glitches and the support team was not quick respond but I am glad the support team is always available now.

Vorteile

We were looking for something easy to administer. When we implemented Litmos LMS, it was very simple and easy. It's also very intuitive and easy to navigate.

Nachteile

Reporting and some UI functions for administration need improvement. However, on a positive note, I was able to join a website that allows us to report and vote on new issues and enhancements.

Vorteile

Its ease of use. It is mostly intuitive.

Nachteile

This isn't a big deal, but it is still a work in progress.

Vorteile

It's very intuitive and easy to get up and running with very little training. No product/LMS has everything but Litmos has a LOT! The support team is pretty quick to respond when issues do come up.

Nachteile

I wish there was more consistency in the admin interface. For example, some modules/features offer search functionality and some do not. Some text entry areas have the rich text editor/source toggle and others do not. Little things, but they can have a big impact on admin user experience, ease of use, and huge time savers.

Vorteile

It is easy to assign trainings and easy to upload your own content.

Nachteile

Well, where do I begin. Much of their training content is UK based, but since we live in the US, laws aren't the same here. This is problematic when assigning Compliance training. While it is easy to upload your own content, it is cumbersome to have to do so just to replace one of their training's because laws are different in this country. When you search for training's in the content library, it doesn't allow you to go back to your curated search, but will instead begin your search all over again if you attempt to use the back button on your browser. There is no other option. So the lovely list of 6 or 7 trainings you wanted to view from your search, will no longer be there and you have to start all over again if you pick one to view. Also, it appears that each time they have an update or a fix for one issue, another one appears. Customer service is awful and they love to tell you that your browser is out-of-date for any issues you are experiencing. This is so frustrating and I cannot wait to move to another platform.

Vorteile

It has options for customizing courses to adapt them to the needs of our company. Allows quick and easy access from anywhere and at any time. Provides reports with real-time information on the progress of participants in the training process. The ability to upload videos as part of the evaluation process is very useful. It works in different operating systems, which provides versatility.

Nachteile

So far the only thing that I think should be considered for its use is the cost, which can be high depending on the size of your company.

Vorteile

Easy build out and flexibility to use modules in multiple courses. Learning paths for course combinations make compliance training easy. However the two things that stand out a Pro 1) Customer Service/Support is over the top. Every time we have had a question or something wasn't as we thought it should customer and support is amazingly fast in response time and thorough in making sure we were back on track. 2) The reporting—you can build just about any report you can think of and trust me we have pushing the envelope.

Nachteile

Hard to come up with a con that is exclusive to Litmos that other do better or offer. My biggest issue is with the pricing model of the industry as a whole, but it's still not a con since Litmos has more flexibility in their model to (kind of) meet our needs.

I'm nit picking now but I wish we could turn off (hide) some of the fields in the registration page rather than just make them optional. As a company we already have the person information and data for the registrant so the page is unnecessarily messy. (I told you I was nit picking. )

Vorteile

The number one reason this was the chosen software at two different orgs I worked with was the price point. It is one of the least expensive options out there.

Nachteile

Features were lacking compared to other similarly priced options. Complete lack of actual support after the first 2 weeks of implemented use, with response times on critical issues taking 24+ hours for an initial (non-automated) response. Integration with other systems was clunky, and minimal assistance/support for API was available. Admin side of the LMS was not overly intuitive and was a bit cluttered. Lots of co-dependancies across features, which results in the need to pay for additional non-standard features despite them being presented as standard throughout demos.

Vorteile

I like the fact that it is fairly intuitive. For the most part, you could figure it out on your own. It is working well for us right now. We are having issues with Flash player and popup blockers, but I think this is more a "by product" of our authoring tool than of the LMS. Other than that, we are mostly smooth sailing.

Nachteile

The reporting definitely needs to become more robust. We would like to see reports that provide time - time spent per module, total time spent learning this or that course, etc. We have requests from managers on that and it is very difficult - if not impossible - to provide.

Vorteile

Very clean interface for our employees and customers to use. Has a lot of features that often come in handy (e.g. Teams, reporting, etc.)

Nachteile

Some of the functions (like Teams) are super clunky! Takes a lot to explain how they work to customers and not super intuitive.

Vorteile

Easy to use without a MIS or CS degree -- admin interface and extensive support resources make every function easy to use and smooth to operate
Robust feature set -- load any content to create a course, run standard and ah-hoc reports, manage the talent pool -- if you need to do it as an LMS admin or learner Litmos makes it easy to use without IT support
Intuitive interface for users -- it's hard enough to get people into an elearning training, fighting the LMS interface shouldn't be a barrier in their way -- with Litmos anyone can navigate the platform thanks to an intuitive interface and clear context prompts

Nachteile

Relative to other platforms, Litmos is a solid and slick performer. While there are other LMS out there that may be slicker to use, Litmos makes it easy to manage the content, the learners, and the data from one dashboard and I find the interface comprehensible from moment 1. Their content is pretty generic and more focus on distinctive content would help them stand out.

Vorteile

Easily able to establish new customer portals and push information to internal sales staff. Great for central repository for all company documentation.

Nachteile

Not so user friendly for Admins. Hard to upload and publish multiple documents quickly. Very serial process. Portal subscriber usage statistics insufficient.

Vorteile

All the features and options available to track and create courses

Nachteile

It can be difficult to learn all its ins and outs. Also, it can be glitchy from time to time

Vorteile

Easy to use both as an end user and administrator and very intuitive. our end users find it easy to sign up to courses and love the look and feel of Litmos

Nachteile

I haven't found anything yet but if I had to say one thing it would be to make assessment marking more granular

Vorteile

Because Litmos is cloud-based, it allows both trainers and employees to access the learning content from mobile devices which greatly improves participation and compliance. I can add and edit content for all of my company's courses without any programming knowledge because Litmos' interface is so simple to understand. I even customized it to my company's colors and logos.

Vorteile

It was simple and relatively easy to use.

Nachteile

When we used Litmos, the feature set was very minimal and didn't meet many of the needs we had at the time.

Vorteile

Litmos is easy to use, the courses are easy to create and you can customize them using videos, texts, power points, images, etc. Each course can be assigned to groups or users so it is easy to keep control on who is accessing each course. At the end of each course you can create a test with a lot of different options. Reports are very nice and you can see what users are doing keeping control on the results.

Nachteile

It would be nice to have the option to pull contents from other sources creating in the courses or assessments.

Vorteile

I've never had any problems using the software. It works well. The videos and quizzes all work great. I like that I can put the videos on double speed

Nachteile

I think they could make the interface a little more visually appealing.

Vorteile

The Course Library and Achievements are helpful to keep track of your progress.

Nachteile

Really would like to receive suggestions based on previous courses.

Vorteile

This program was fantastic when we needed to push out company training when we have hundreds of employees that are hard to all get together at the same time.

Nachteile

I understand the reason behind having limited subscriptions but it would be nice if we could have more subscriptions in order to get more employees in on the training.

Vorteile

SAP Litmos has an amazing learning system, lots of ways to learn, my best is the use of games and simulations to examine what has been learnt.

Nachteile

Never had any problem while using the software

Vorteile

-Very easy to use for both admin and user
-Easy to customize
-Clean and appealing interface
-SSO capability

Nachteile

-Reporting could be stronger, it gets the basics, but doesn't allow fully buildable reports
-Apostrophes are not compatible with usernames and emails.

Vorteile

The ability to learn it quickly and the support provided when I ran into problems. Also, the webinars are helpful in getting started.

Nachteile

It's a little clunky when dealing with their Learning Paths and courses. There isn't a good way to break them out.

Vorteile

ILT Support, SCORM Upload Support, Certificate Support, GoToTraining Support and stock courses are available.

Nachteile

The only con I have found is that it does not include event resource management. For example classroom resources management.

Vorteile

The communication in between the end user and administrator is very convenient. A very user-friendly and efficient software to use for both consumers.

Nachteile

No cons for now. I can only say that there's always a room for improvement. Would be glad more for future references.

Vorteile

We certainly got up to speed quickly and were able to do an online/ILT training with 30 participants within 2 weeks of turning on the software.

Nachteile

Questions asked of our onboarding team were not answered in a timely fashion. We still have an outstanding need that has not been met.
