LMS365

Vorteile

The integration with Microsoft Teams is seamless. The interface is super user friendly. And the users/ learners can perform the training without leaving their work environment. It is a truly work in the flow experience. There is no need to open a webpage or an external app, all done within Teams.

Nachteile

No complaints at this point. But I am still on the freemium version. I will update this review later on.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu LMS365

Vorteile

LMS365 is easy to use and integrates seamlessly with our Microsoft Office 365 products. It is great to be able to share or feature courses right in a Teams environment, and because our learners already know SharePoint, navigating the LMS doesn't have an additional learning curve.

Nachteile

We had an issue shortly after deployment where our entire learner list was deleted by IT. Although this was a user error on IT's part, it was difficult to get hold of our LMS365 customer support and they weren't able to explain HOW or when the error had occurred, so it made it harder to fix the problem.

Vorteile

Adding the content and testing thereafter looks very promising, and seems to work well.

Nachteile

User enrollment continues to fail. After submitting a support ticket, there have been no progress updates to date. At one point, it was suggested by the company, to purchase the product. Their strategy may be that a product purchase at $3k would all of a sudden make the enrollment issue go away. That is not a good company strategy.

Vorteile

Having an LMS system which is fully integrated into our Office365 tools and directory has been a game-changer. Previously we used an open-source LMS without Office 365 integration, which made enrollments as well as incorporating existing document and media into learning modules cumbersome. Integration with our user directory as well as our content stored on OneDrive / Sharepoint is a breeze.

Nachteile

I’m entirely satisfied at this point. I wish that the Course Catalog could be organized and displayed by category, but I’ve found a workaround for this.

Vorteile

We've been using this system for about a year and have just recently started diving into all the features and functionality. Prior to, we were using it more to house webinars and tracking new hire training. I like the reporting to be able to see who is using, what they are doing and how their progress is going. It's a very easy system to use as well.

Nachteile

I haven't come across anything I haven't liked. I'm just getting into all the more LMS and certification and tracks, so I'm sure as I use it more, I will have more to report back on.

Vorteile

This product integrates well with SharePoint intranet sites. The ability to list self-paced and live courses on the same site is what I have liked most about this product. Our previous site was limited to live course registration and did not have a training dashboard for users, so this additional functionality has greatly improved training offerings at our institution.

Nachteile

There are some menus and text that cannot be customized. We gave our platform a unique name to match branding with our institution, so we were afraid of confusion in places where LMS365 is listed. The building of Courses is more complicated that I wish it was. The creation of the modules and quizzes are done separately than where the Course is built, so it is a lot of jumping back and forth when creating a new course.

Vorteile

The initial cost is low and the integration with Office 365 makes implementation fairly painless. An easy fit for organizations that have basic needs, or medium to advanced users with Azure Active Directory P1 or P2 and Power BI Pro/Premium (Embedded is not included) or E5 Office 365 licenses (plus the expertise in delivery of these solutions as well as SharePoint & Power Automate Cloud flows). This is especially so if you are extensive users of Teams and have additional solutions to integrate into a complete solution. eLearningForce has some truly impressive case stories.

eLearningForce make changes frequently, recently moving from 8 to 6 week cycles, and many of these improvements are for Teams integration.

Nachteile

For organizations that have basic AAD and Office 365 implementations that need features of a complete LMS, then LMS365 might be a frustrating choice. There is no audience or smart groups here, group assignment relies on AAD entirely. Exception reporting relies on Power BI, as the system reports are extremely limited (Supervisor is not included in any report, for example). You'll be turning to Power Automate Cloud for workarounds frequently as well.

The interaction & cooperation with customers has dropped considerably in recent months. The departure of the COO/co-founder seems to have a correlation in this regard. Gone are UI pilots and the more recent patches lacked previews of UI changes. Bug fixes and 'feature requests' are not delivered in a timely fashion.

Vorteile

We're a relatively small business- but being in the IT world, are in a fast-moving and constantly evolving environment.

Integration with Teams. LMS365 helps us to quickly manage and coordinate training out to our team, and supports how they want to work; in our case blending training in through Teams.

Nachteile

I can't think of anything that's really caused major issues.

Vorteile

This platform is so full and well integrated with Office 365 that seems to be natively part of it.
The implementation is smooth and simple and training features evolve at the speed of the Cloud to take advantage of all the new stuff that is costantly released by Microsoft.
It can also be accessed by external users of the Organization with no need a Microsoft Office 365 license.

Nachteile

Sometimes the system could be perceived as a little bit slow in terms of peformances, but that hasn't a real impact on its effectiveness.

Vorteile

- Easy to use
- Easy to set up
- Look and feel is very modern
- Great intergration with SharePoint
- Able to connect throuth API
- Different type of content
- Full overview on progress
- Standard with 'portal'

Nachteile

- Not built in Power-BI eg overview/dashboard
- Reporting can be better

Vorteile

The ease of building courses and managing content. I store many hours of content on our platform and I find it easy to move things around. Of course you won't get it exactly how you like it right away, but gathering all forms of content is really easy and convenient for our business that deals in all sorts of word docs, excel files, video formats and much more. LMS will take just about any document and allow you to stick it in a course.

Nachteile

The training about the LMS wasn't the most user friendly. It felt like a huge virtual book was dropped on me and was hard for me to navigate through. Might have just been my own struggles and could be completely my personal learning style. I did appreciate that a lot of the content was in audio form so it wasn't me reading a huge manual the entire time.

Vorteile

La ventaja de este software es que se basa en tu propio Sharepoint y esto permite que pueda integrarse muy fácilmente a herramientas de gestión de usuarios y gestión de personal. Es una herramienta de aspecto muy amigable y para el usuario final no supone un gran reto el aprender a usarla. Me gustó que al ser basada en Sharepoint, podíamos generar páginas internas, repositorios de contenido, usar manejador de versiones, flujo de aprobaciones, etc. También me gustó que se le pueden cargar certificados externos y quedan asociados a los usuarios.

Nachteile

Nosotros usamos la versión On premise; y esta versión no tiene funcionalidades importantes; se tuvieron muchos problemas al momento de las actualizaciones y sincronización de datos; esto requirió muchas horas de soporte e interrupción de servicio. La versión On Premise requiere de muchos elementos de configuración y un dominio alto de las funcionalidades internas de la herramienta. Esta versión no es muy amigable para copiar cursos y recursos internos.

Vorteile

LMS365 is fully integrated in Microsoft 365, our strategic platform for collaboration, information and communication within our company and with our customers and partners. So it perfectly fits in our Microsoft Cloud centric strategy.

Nachteile

There are still some little points to improve, e.g. in reporting. But with little effort, you can use the Power BI Connector and create reports and dashboards for your company on your own.

Vorteile

We have been working with and using numerous different course platforms. What really stands out with LMS365 is the integration with the Microsoft stack and the Microsoft end-user productivity tools. Being able to provide users with learning right from within the tools they use every day (Microsoft Teams, SharePoint their mobile) is extremely powerful. I also really like the people that work at ELEARNINGFORCE. They are all very supportive and helpful.

Nachteile

The course creation process is divided into two steps - one is creating the outline of the course, the second is creating the learning content itself. Once you get used to this, it is straight-forward and logical. But since this is a bit different setup than other course creator tools it takes some getting used to.

Vorteile

We love that this lays over the Microsoft Office system and how much support is available from the LMS365 team. We have loved a lot of the updates and seeing where other changes sit on the roadmap. We love that this is a tool that managers can use to support their teams.

Nachteile

There are some gaps in accessibility tied into the software. It would be great if all of the tools were accessible and if there was easy translation and staff management by supervisors.

Vorteile

The reason why I enjoy working with the platform is the native integration into our existing platforms. For our user base, this means a familiar login and navigation through their corporate credentials (Azure AD) and SharePoint. For our platforms administrators integration with tools such as Forms and Stream. For the technology team integration into existing security capabilities by using Azure AD groups and roles. Being able to extend the platform through Microsoft Flow and Microsoft Power BI is a tremendous benefit.

Nachteile

There are some minor feature enhancements we would like to see in the product. An example of this is dynamic starting and ending dates for training based on our employees hire dates. However, this con has been overcome by one of the pros to the platform, which is the ability for us to extend the LMS 365 by leveraging existing tools such as Microsoft Flow.

Vorteile

Was very easy to deploy, add content and get employees learning.

Nachteile

There are a few small awkward situations where if you click the wrong arrow to advance content, it can jump to the end and mark that skipped content as read. We've had to do a lot of education in the way the process works.

Vorteile

Seemlessly integrates into Office 365, which makes user adoption as well as onboarding of your users extremely simple and fast. Also, once you understood how it works, it offers many, many possibilities. With Microsoft Flow being connected those possibilities become even more numerous. LMS365 offers you the ability to keep it simple and just throw your materials in (say: pdf, ppt, videos, ...), or go full e-learning beast mode and create highly visual learning stories in the authoring tool of your choice. The thing I like most about it is, that it isnt just another software silo with new credentials and interface that makes your daily work life harder.

Nachteile

It clearly misses some features currently, but at least they update the software regularly, so many issues get resolved if you just wait a couple of months. The ability to copy/duplicate courses is one thing that really bugs me, as well as the lack of more diverse roles (for example the distinction between administrative and content responsibility) and some rather complicated clickpaths. I'm optimistic they'll overcome their little teething problems though.

Vorteile

1. La fácil y rápida implementación.
2. La facilidad de uso para los participantes/alumnos así como para los administradores y generadores de contenidos.
3. La integración con MS Teams.
4. La automatización de los procesos de capacitación en línea y la posibilidad de combinar con sesiones en vivo y presenciales.

Nachteile

Cumple con todos los requerimientos que como institución privada requerimos.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu LMS365

Vorteile

LMS365 has nearly all the features we were looking for to centralize employee learning on one platform. Set up was relatively easy and the course catalog and enrollment are intuitive. Our instructors like the ability to invite specific participants (using Azure AD groups), that the system has auto alerts, and they can integrate quizzes and certifications. We liked that we could brand and customize our site for our organization (logo and photos), and configure the course categories and course catalog view to meet our needs.

Nachteile

Our course administrators disliked the LMS365 sway training provided; it was robotic and tedious. And, it's not easy to print a list of course participants. Advanced licenses offer a Power BI package to create a dashboard to monitor learning status across courses; we wish this was standard. We also preferred Microsoft learning videos on LinkedIn to the Microsoft Learning Path training provided with the advanced license package.

Vorteile

How easy it integrates into the fabric of Office 365. It literally installs in minutes and you are ready to go. Also I recommend if you are not IT savvy to just have the LMS365 Team help with the installation

Nachteile

The reports (the Learner and Course reports) are somewhat simple so the information you could gleaned from them was kind of basic. However they know have a Power BI Connector (free) and a Power BI Add-on (not free but incredibly powerful and easy to use) that can analyze all sorts of data from Leaner and Course interactions.

Vorteile

This tool works well with companies that already owns SharePoint or Office 365 and build applications and processes around it. The learning management system can be extended with all other apps available in the platform. It uses existing user list and user profiles. No external export needed. Works on top of an established system which is already available in MS platform. Tool can be customized for customer requirement. Support system and working with partners works well too.

Nachteile

There is a learning curve for the product. It can get a bit extended process for non-technical personnels.

Vorteile

Very easy to use, learn and implement. learner management is a breeze as well!

Nachteile

Needs the ability to put a video into the learning module within the system without Stream or Office video so that videos can be picked up where the learner leaves off in the middle of a course. Also the ability to not skip a video in a training module without watching the entire video. Currently learners are able to start a video and then immediately skip it and the course will be marked as complete.

*Learning modules creation are based on classes or course catalogs. There's no way to reuse the same learning modules in different courses.

Vorteile

I am the admin in charge of setting up and configuring LMS365, it is intuitive, easy to use, responsive and quick. On top of that their support is out of this world and I truly have never seen better documentation on troubleshooting and set up before.

Nachteile

Initially we had issues connecting O365 groups to LMS365,but it ended up just taking a little while for our security groups to sync up properly.

Vorteile

Works with 0365 suite for quick and accurate delivery to learners.
Also allows creating content with Youtube and external resources.
Easy to create quick 'acknowledgements' for compliance tracking.

Nachteile

Only used for a short time; still learning how to organize within the 'app based environment' and can benefit from personal upskilling of sharepoint.

Nachteile

Overall, there are a lot of great features, but I miss a competency framework connected with this. It's on the roadmap. So is TinCan.
