I have used Blackboard, Desire2Learn, Edvance360, and Moodle. I concur with you, the Moodle website is confusing. Even though Moodle is open source there are costs associated with it. For instance, hosting, maintenance, updates, programming modules, purchasing modules, etc. The Moodle design is very plain and did not seem user-friendly. We ended up select Edvance360, www.edvance360.com, as our LMS. It is a hosted platform and upgrades are as easy as the click of a button. Edvance360 also had all of the tools (discussion forum, tests, Wiki, chat, lessons, etc.) that we were searching for in a LMS. The customer support is awesome too.
