CYPHER Learning

Vorteile

Its overall flexibility has been one of the main features that have helped both administrators, and users to accomplish learning and finishing tasks. You can also fully customize your lessons and subjects to the kind of students that you have.

As an administrator, you have control and statistics on your students' performance and learning.

As one of the best platforms out there for e-learning, NEO has made it easy and light for people who have signed up.

Nachteile

Some sync issues come up every once in a while when I have to copy information from the masterclass.

One has to be meticulous and detailed in their settings to get the kind of experience you want your students/participants to have.

Vorteile

1. Diversity of training solutions that can be used.
2. The portal has only fallen once in 9 years of daily use.
3. Integration of dozens of ad-ons that really help the training process

Nachteile

1. The fact that it does not integrate a SCORM export solution.
2. Extremely slow, limited customer service. They offer only laconic answers and are not focused on solving the problems faced by the administrator. Sometimes the distance between answers is 5-7 hours, even if they are in the US time zone. This is extremely frustrating.
3. Participants must pay monthly to access the platform, even after completing the course. At the beginning, the participants could check their account and diplomas without paying and only paid if they entered the course. Now they have no access to anything unless they pay.

The way I am free to set up classes the way I want to. There are many features.

Nachteile

I have a bit of a problem using spellcheckers. When they are marked red, they are not included in the text after you hit the save button. I would also like to have more than one possibility for payments. I would like credit card, Paypal, Alipay and other options in order to accommodate every client. I would also like to feel reassured that this software is compliant with European data protection laws.

Vorteile

My most liked feature of this platform is how it automated workflow. Once we add employees to the platform they get automatically added to the courses that we had put in for new joiners. Apart from this, I like how we can customize this to the need of the organization with our logo and red theme. Also, this platform is not limited only to desktops or laptops one can continue on phones as well.

Nachteile

Well, this platform is super cool however, as a data analyst I need the reporting in a very intuitive way but the customization is very limited like the filters need to be increased. Also, the platform does not take large datasets smoothly it lags sometimes which is not a good performance. Additionally, I would say customer support is great but can take a while for deep technical questions.

Vorteile

CYPHER Learning has suitable online materials. and it ensure there is sustainable learning and responsive communication.

Nachteile

CYPHER Learning delivers impressive ways in managing mobile learning assistance.

Vorteile

We have transitioned from another solution to Matrix LMS about 18 months ago as we wanted a feature rich and easy to use solution for our digital community - Matrix has exceeded all expectations from ease of installation, huge range of features, automation capability and exception customer support.

Nachteile

For those seeking high levels of accessibility functionality, Matrix LMS is a good solution with need to be careful as with any tech as to what content is loaded / designed to support accessibility.

Vorteile

There are many things I liked with NEO but to sum it up I would say it made our job more efficient and creative. We were able to give students fun and meaningful lessons with efficiency.

Nachteile

There were no major issues with NEO. The only thing I can suggest would be to upgrade the offline mode of lessons.

Vorteile

It's our one stop shop for managing training, whether it's online or in a classroom. Before using Matrix we spent a lot of time managing classroom training. Users can self enrol, we can manage waitlists and assessments can be uploaded for marking, providing an excellent audit trail.
We can also manage multiple brands within the one portal, which is both a cost saving and saves on administration effort.

Nachteile

There was a hefty price rise about 2 years after we started using it. It's still reasonable value for money, but it left us in an awkward position if we didn't get approval for the extra funds, as we would have had to move learning portals again, which is a big effort. However, they did ease us into the change and we appreciate that enormously.

Vorteile

Neo LMS helps us to cope with our new setup now and it also helps us to adjust from our traditional teaching to our modern teaching in an easy way.

Nachteile

I like everything about NEO except the fact that in the assignment section the system is too sensitive.

Vorteile

The most important features for us are competency tracking and score rules. NEO LMS is easy to navigate because of its social media-like interface.

Nachteile

Although competency tracking is available, there is currently no way to export reports on competencies. As a network of schools, it is vital to have such. A built in item analysis for quizzes would also be beneficial to us. Having this allows us to immediately determine which items can be replaced, eliminating the need to use another tool.

Vorteile

Matrix LMS is very user-friendly and has so many features that will allow an organization to maximize the benefits of self-directed learning.

Nachteile

Although the platform allows for customization of reports, there are so many options that it be daunting. I wish there is a guide that will help the administrator department identify the data that matters.

Vorteile

This LMS provided us the opportunity to continue to provide learnings to our users

Nachteile

That there is a cycle that limits the number of days the learners can use the LMS.

Vorteile

NEO LMS is very child friendly. Even a grade 1 student can navigate its features.

Can not customize grading scale and gradebook to college requirements.

Vorteile

I love how clean the interface is. It is very easy to manage or navigate around. Parents and students have found using this system is intuitive and very user friendly!

Nachteile

One con comes to mind and that is the lack of features available to the Small Schools package. There should be a tier introduced that is between the Small School and Enterprise that allow a few more features for smaller schools that cannot afford the Enterprise package to be able to us or offer some sort of al-la-carte for all the features offered on the Enterprise package.

Vorteile

We used Matrix in my previous job, functionality wise it is one of the best, you can do almost anything you need for you business.

Nachteile

Not the easiest software to use BUT when you get used to it it's great (like most software solutions) the support (at least in our region) was not the best, it took weeks sometimes to get mini bugs fixed.

Vorteile

Customer Service is excellent. They are responsive to suggestions and customer requests. It is customizable for the school, and it has served our students and teachers well.

Nachteile

Would be nice to have a drag-n-drop capability for some of the pages. For example, I can easily add a new web resource but it won't necessarily be in alpha order.

Vorteile

It allows my students to access their workshops with ease

Nachteile

I have no cons at this time as the site is exactly what I need for my small business

Vorteile

Once you learn the program, it has many helpful features.

It's difficult to find answers on the program itself. I rely on colleagues for help. The grading settings can be particularly confusing.

Vorteile

Vorteile

I love the clean aesthetic of Cypher Learning and the customization. We use the software as an LMS for our online school and our students love being able to see their progress and grades as they progress through our courses.

Nachteile

We teach students as young as four, all the way up to adults, so the look of the LMS isn’t as vibrant as our younger students are accustomed to seeing. It’s geared more toward the older student (middle and high), collegiate level learning, and continued development for adults.

Vorteile

NEO LMS is the perfect software in learning management. It gives the perfect features for the learners and at the same time for the educators. It has a feature that makes learning assessments and student's progress and development easier to track and record. The software is very organized as well and very student friendly. Even the beginners will not have a hard time using this software.

Nachteile

There are just times that NEO don't work because of some updates but nevertheless, it is for the software's improvement as well and at the same time, it doesn't take long.

Vorteile

As an educator, the best feature of NEO LMS that I have really utilized is its assignment management. I can customized the fonts of instruction, add rubrics and schedule the posting of activities. It helps me organize my class and monitor the progress of the performance of my students.

Nachteile

The feature that I seldom use is the calendar feature. The fact that it is quite limited and cannot be customized well, is also one reason why I would rather use other application for calendar.

Vorteile

Neo LMS or Blink as we call it, have had been with Berkeley during the pandemic up until now that helping us to ease the learning gap between teachers and students. With the use of the LMS, it is easier to embed videos that we use in our lesson, where we could check if they watch it or not with the use of different assessment tools.

Nachteile

There's no particular least favorite part on my end, for I appreciate every tab, every function of the LMS. What I would suggest is to train us on how to use gamification so we could utilize this part more.

Vorteile

The worksheet and activities in where in you can make engagement to the learners and facilitator to less in work and improve the capabilities of the learner.

Nachteile

Some features are not easy to navigate if you don't have knowledge about it.

Vorteile

The LMS is easy to navigate. Classes and folders can be customized and lessons are easily synced to child classes. Progess is easily tracked.

Nachteile

Attendance can still be improved if date ranges can be customized and counted per quarter or semester. It's quite time consuming to input dates one by one.

Vorteile

Giving varied activities and having an organized gradebook makes it very simple to use

Nachteile

Attendance log is not customizable according to the school's desired format.

Vorteile

NEO LMS is very easy navigate. Lessons can easily be done even without the users guide or manual. I really like the customer support because of its efficient and quick response. In terms of grading assessments, I find it easy with the use of its Rubric feature. Before, I used to have a lot of papers to bring whenever I go but with NEO LMS, I just need to pull out my tablet to check the submissions of my students. Lastly, my students are more engaged and they enjoy more because of the gamification feature which other LMS don’t have.

Nachteile

I cannot think of any cons about NEO LMS. Its the perfect LMS for me. I have tested and tried other LMS which are complicated to use. But with NEO, everything is easy. If there is one thing that needs improvement, it would be the mobile app specifically for android devices.

Vorteile

What I admire about NEO LMS is how it is easy to navigate. It also provides different and varied assessments to choose from.

Nachteile

I think one thing to improve in NEO LMS is that students should also be notifed when the teacher gives an assignment using Content Page.

Vorteile

Ease of Use, easy navigation, and others.

Nachteile

Limited Apps in App Center that can be integrated with NEO such as respondus lockdown browser and monitor. The created lessons can not be downloaded and converted to a word and/or PDF that will be readily available to our students' option of asynchronous modular class.

Vorteile

There are various kinds of assignments that can be given to students and they are easy to keep track.

Nachteile

The attendance cannot be modified according to what the school needs.

Nachteile

For me, every part of this software is essential for us.

Vorteile

Nachteile

The level of reporting and compliance management could be improved. I have specific needs and have to adapt the reporting platform.

Flexible pricing plans that are reasonable. Has terrific add on features and customization. The tech support is very responsive, thorough, and 24 hours on weekdays. Love that there is an App as a learner choice. Frequent updates enhance my administrator experience regularly.

Nachteile

1) Training aids will get you started but you have to spend a great deal of time, and trial and error in learning to manage your LMS, build courses, etc. 2) I lost some completion data records where there should of been a hard stop warning that this could happen before I made the change. 3) There is no weekend tech support which I would likely use only occasionally. 4) I can't configure slides to move horizontally in a single slide click through fashion. Rather, I have to either load them individually or leave it as a vertical scroll through of the entire deck.
