Ease of use, simple yet powerful. The security features (2FA and Okta integration) are awesome.

Vorteile

Ease of implementation and restriction of information via branches.

Nachteile

For pharma industry, one of the severe lacks is that eFRONT does not come with a validation dossier so each company must perform their validation from scratch.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu eFront

Vorteile

1. It a simple to use SAAS application which allows to run an learning management system for a newbie.
2. I provides the ability to create membership program and assign different user roles to the members.

Nachteile

1. It is way too complicated to make basic customization as it doesn't provide the access to its in built HTML files the only thing we could do is make changes in in built CSS files.
2. It costs higher than it should actually be priced at comparing with others.

Vorteile

it is user friendly and appropriate for our needs

Nachteile

we face some problems with scorm files and time counting , for few months.
Now the problem is solved, fix also available for other users, happy to contribute at this.

Vorteile

eFront is Continuously improved upon by the developers
When we needed a Biosig program integrated eFront did so quickly and flawlessly
Whenever I have had any issues eFront tech support has resolved the issue quickly.
MOST IMPORTANT: I very rarely have had issues with eFront - in fact it has been a few years.

Nachteile

Very time consuming to load content
Tracking and finding test questions is not easy
Inputting test questions and answers and reasons why for right answers are very time consuming

Vorteile

It's easy to use and set-up, create courses and paths, create content
I think users like it and use it often

Nachteile

Reporting is not 100%
Content creation is not 100% easy as formatting is hard

Vorteile

The abundance of functions and the ability to easily manage them. Intuitive student interface. Powerful functionality of the branches.

Nachteile

Minor bugs, I'm looking forward to the new one UI.

Vorteile

What we liked most about the software the adaptability. Like most companies we had specific user types and data we wanted to be able to collect from every user. We not only wanted to collect the data, we also wanted to be able to setup specific learning paths and be able to run reports based on our classifications. eFront provided specifc - adjustable fields and open misc. fields we could use to further filter our users.

Nachteile

We didn't really have a con per se? We researched long and hard and worked in many sandboxes to find the right LMS for us. If we had any cons or concerns as we setup the LMS, eFront was available and more than willing to answer our concerns with workable options if necessary.

Vorteile

- Look and feel is customizable
- Easy to use
- Fast support
- Rich and clear knowledge articles

Nachteile

- Mobile App customization what a bit cost prohibitive

Vorteile

Highly customisable plaform. A variety of options - too many to implement all at once.

Nachteile

A background in .php / html 5 / CSS is a requirement.

Vorteile

La experiencia de nuestros usuarios alumnos: saber que los alumnos acceden a una plataforma sencilla, moderna y con todas las funcionalidades necesarias, para nosotros ha sido fundamental a la hora de evaluar continuar utilizando la LMS de Talent.

Nachteile

Posiblemente sea el costo: optar por una LMS que tenga todas las funcionalidades, seguridad y disponibilidad es mayor que contar con una plataforma propia.

Vorteile

The price is the best thing about TalentLMS.

Nachteile

There could be more automation when assignments or courses aren't completed.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu eFront

Vorteile

Easy to set up and use. Customer support is top notch

Nachteile

Cannot identify a deficiency as we don’t use every available feature.

Vorteile

The most impactful features of eFront include its comprehensive course library, ability to customize content for your organization's requirements, and its user-friendly interface. Yes, eFront is easy to use. Its user friendly platform makes it easy to navigate and create custom learning experiences. Integration of eFront with your existing business processes may depend on the complexity and customizability of your solutions. Generally speaking, yes, integration is quite easy and straightforward.

Nachteile

One of the least liked features of eFront is the limited customization options for building your online training course. Some users have stated that the user interface is a bit outdated and difficult to navigate, which can be a source of frustration. Additionally, the built-in course builder has limited customization options, and many users have expressed a desire for more options when creating their course.

Vorteile

Ease of course creation
Flexible content types
Custom user types
Notifications by email of course completion and certificates
Flexible pricing options
Easily segment department using branches and putting an administrator over each branch
Customize reports

Nachteile

Automatic updates don't always work
The notice of an expiring license is displayed in all branches (not just the main level)
Sometimes the backup is slow (which I believe causes temporary database "errors" that are resolved once the backup is complete)

Vorteile

We love the flexibility we had with this product. We had many options on how we can enroll our customer base, either through building individual course tracks or using the curricula for large volumes of customers. We also like the user interface and being able to customize it for our company. It looks good and user friendly for our customers.

Nachteile

Support is sometimes a challenge as they are located in Greece. If we have a support question in the late afternoon, we'll have to wait for a response the next morning and we only have an hour or 2 to be able to talk about it before they go home for the day.

Vorteile

We most like the flexibility and robustness of the software. So many times, with many types of software like this, you find out only in the middle of a project that it won't accomplish everything you want it to. With eFront, it is quite the opposite - you will probably not need everything available, but as your enterprise expands and grows, the feature are there - waiting to be utilized.

Nachteile

The user manual could be a lot more detailed. The software is proprietary, and very dependable, but we find ourselves contacting support many times to figure out where something is or how to customize something - the good news is, their support team is AMAZING and HIGHLY CAPABLE!! Very solid engineers and technical support.

Vorteile

The gamification feature is excellent, the drag and drop funcionality in the course creation is very advantageous, Great customisable reports and notifications. Good pricing model for corporate, it fast and simple to navigate

Nachteile

the portal customisation is very limited. It takes a lot of technical computer knowledge to upload content and install the aplication. the software toolbar is not very user-friendly.

Vorteile

Full source code availability with pro services support make this the most flexible LMS for customized deployments. Able to achieve just about any kind of implementation, data collection, reporting, and UX desired. Incredibly good pricing model for corporate LMS deployments looking to own their final solution.

Nachteile

Implementation and maintenance requires an engineer on staff. Definitely for professionals seeking customizations vs. easy out of the box. Although they have TalentLMS as an option for that if desired.

Vorteile

easy to use, simple user interface, creates random examinations based on given difficulty, automatic evaluation of the test, useful statistics, easy to track student progress and payments

Nachteile

Initial setup was a bit tricky and also importing content requires some coding skills.

Vorteile

The software is quiet easy to navigate and use, it has some easy flow functionality and possible customisations.

Nachteile

There are issues in how some components work, and the lack of Curriculum enrolments is a big issue for me.

Vorteile

This is a great tool for a small start-up company. What I like most about this product is the ability to have single sign-on.

Nachteile

For a much larger company with 1000s of employees, the interface is not very user-friendly compared to other similar software out there.

Vorteile

User Interface, it is very pleasant to use and the options are clear and well defined. I would definitely recommend.

Nachteile

Nothing really.... Probably could be a bit more affordable, but again you can you the community version or Talent LMS if budget is an issue.

Vorteile

Flexibility
Custom user types
Branch Management
Open source technologies
Company's superb technical support

Nachteile

The build in reporting could be better.
Administrative module functions being not very evident are causing unnecessary calls to the technical department

Vorteile

We were able to customers everything we wanted ..We had searched many elaerning providers and most of them we couldnt customise the look and feel ..With plugins we can do anything ..

Nachteile

Its a bit pricy but worth it .If efront looks into the pricing that would make perfect ...otherwise i cant think of anything ..

Vorteile

The interface is simple. Essentially WYSIWYG. Admin is straightforward. I'd suggest that with some tech support at the outset, almost anyone could be trained to administer the LMS.

Nachteile

Personally, I don't care for some of the cheesier features, such as the social platform or gamification. Call me old-school, but I like my training to be short and sweet. And when I need to re-review it to clarify something, I don't care to revisit the fluff.

Vorteile

Easy to use interface-I had no prior computer programing skills and only a little instruction on how to get started.

Features comparable with more highly recognized commercial platforms.

Nachteile

Some of the features didn't meet my specific needs. I couldn't figure out how to use the grade book feature.

Vorteile

eFront is a great LMS from both the learner and admin point of view. The entire system is built on the 'fewest-clicks-to-destination' methodology, making it fast and simple to navigate, while containing all of the powerful features necessary in a high level Learning (Content) Management System.

Pros:
-Theming
-SCORM 2004
-Learner-centric UI experience
-Learning Community/Social Networking Tools
-Facebook Integration
-Integrated eCommerce
-Open-source Code

Nachteile

The only con to eFront is that it lacks a few of the more advanced admin features of it's bulkier LMS cousins. That said, with each release more of these features are included as clients request them.

Vorteile

Ease of use, user experience, reliability, functionality

Nachteile

IT deployment effort

Vorteile

I have been using eFront for about two years to host a couple of courses and 900+ users. Efront is very easy to setup, has most of the functionality of a more expensive LMS, but the feature that finally made me decide was its ease of use, a design based on simplicity that does not overwhelm users when accessing a course. Most of our site users come from Africa and Asia and they have been able to use the system with little or no guidance. I host this LMS in siteground they took care of the installation.

Nachteile

I use the free version so requests for help are only answered in the user forum. The forum managers do a very good work but sometimes it takes time to get your issue answered.

Vorteile

Everything works fine. Full customizable LMS. Offers anything you look for. The customers' support is very satisfactory and even in the free version the relative forums do great job. Easy intergration of web tools and the interface after all theese great features remains simple and accessible even by novice. Multilingual features and in addition it is compatible to all browsers. It fosters interaction and collaboration through out the tools that are implemented. .

Nachteile

I have nothing to mention as a disadvantage. Some people said that background customization needs improovement but this is not one of the priorities of an LMS.

Vorteile

Very user-friendly!

Nachteile

Nachteile

Sorry, I really can't think of any major or even medium flaws.

Vorteile

Enterprise allows the supervisors to track the training of their direct reports. The ability to create content to transfer/capture intellectual property is key to the success of any business and efront does this with ease. The support of the efront staff is the best in the industry. eFront is by far the best LMS on the market; all others are fighting for second place.

Nachteile

I do not feel there are any negatives to this system; I just wish I understood the PHP language to develop my own themes.

Vorteile

Very easy to implement and customize. The eFront developers are very open to product enhancement suggests that we make. They are committed to developing the best LMS on the market at a very affordable price.

Nachteile

None currently

Vorteile

Easy to understand the platform, a lot of features available.

Nachteile

I need a programmer to help me upload content.

Vorteile

Its simple to use, the UI is intuitive and well designed. The forum support and paid support are just excellent, these guys do really love their product and will go to great lengths to fix your problem.

Nachteile

The Community ++ version is phased out, hopefully some of the features will make it to the open source version.

Vorteile

Easy to use.

Nachteile

For us being at the bottom of the world, the time zones can be challenging for support, but it's never actually created a problem.

Vorteile

Functionalities

Nachteile

It lacks the option to make video conferences from the platform
