Which LMS do you use and why?
Wow, this is the LMS conversation that just keeps providing great info! To the recent mentions of Litmos, yay! I have trial tested them recently and was pleasantly surprised with the ease-of-use. There are a couple pitfalls for me with them, but I picked up the basic functions in just a few minutes. I had a sales call with my contact to answer the questions I jotted down while testing and he seemed very rushed. Of course I won't hold it against the vendor completely since I'll use their support if we implement their system. I'd love to know some of the downsides people have had with them.
I'm currently using Blackboard (Learn for SalesForce) and while it does so much, I'm using a small fraction of that. And the small fraction of what I'm using doesn't perform quite the way I wish it would. And while the platform is somewhat intuitive, it does so much that I'm usually on a hunt for the features I don't use all that often. They are clearly still an education sector focused platform and some of the features just aren't suitable for the financial services industry's regulation requirements.
I've chatted with vendors from eLogic Learning (my sales rep is highly personable and responsive), GreenLight (sales rep again is great) and OmniPlex partnered with Absorb (again, super responsive and helpful rep). I had a really good chat with an Ireland-based company called LearnUpon while at TechKnowledge and I think in a year or two, they could be serious contenders for the easy pricing structure that Litmos has. I heard many great things about Cornerstone while at TechKnowledge as well, but I haven't reached out to their sales team just yet. Some of the cheaper platforms may get me what I need, though the Salesforce app integration is nice (Litmos has this as well, so does Blackboard).
