Which LMS do you use and why?

Kimberly, I can understand your point. I think the main question for companies is:

Do we have the budget for a commercial LMS or do we want to use an open source LMS?

I can only speak reviewing the german/austrian/swiss market but this is here really a crucial question. Even larger companies use customized open source LMS.

The problem is that the LMS market is quite confusing. A lot of companies have chosen one LMS several years ago and if you have already a LMS you won't bring the LMS into question because of the workload if you choose a new one. The companies intend to upgrade the existing LMS.

I have seen about 15 different LMS and it is difficult (as a content builder) to see differences on practical side. I am not involved into user management so it is only important for me that a LMS supports Scorm, TinCan and AICC and that it ensures data protection (very important in Germany). A lot of LMS offer a lot of different features but the question is: The additional features (e.g. automatic calendre import) may not be worth the money you pay for it?
