Which LMS do you use and why?

Congratulations, Alberto, and good luck for your project.

I'm curious to see it in action, I'll find some time to give it a try asap.

My employer has been using Kallidus for about 7 years now, I have to say, my experience with this system so far has been anything but straightforward.

Currently heading up a project to replace Kallidus with Absorb by Blatant. Inital testing has shown Absorb is a much more efficient and straightforward system. The customer service provided by the vendor we are dealing with is significantly better than that we have experienced with Kallidus.

I definitely have to agree with a previous poster; there isnt one LMS that is perfect for everyone. You need to take the time to scope out your requirements, and then test a number of systems to find the one that not only meets your requirements but it easy to use for both the Admin and the learner.

We have a 26,000 user database on Moodle!

Impressive!

I agree with Docebo being a fantastic LMS that is very easy to use at great price as well.

However, if you're someone looking to monetize your content by selling courses and subscription online that are completely automated, this product may not be the best.  Even adding their E-Commerce module gives you only VERY basic sales capacity.

Other than that the product is fine with it's known limitation such as not being able to create sub folder when you upload files for example.

It is cookie cutter and you can get it up and running in warp time.

Best regards

We use EZLCMS.

On a scale of 1-5, 5 being best, I would give it a 2.

On the plus side, the interface is pretty easy to work with for the most part. Their User Guide provides more of a high level overview of functionality than a detailed explanation of how items are connected. Everything I learned to do in the LMS is self-taught (manage users and groups, reports, adding courses and so forth). I created my own user guide to share with our training team so that they could better understand how things work.

The downsides are 1) the reporting and 2) responsiveness.

The reporting features are very basic. We need a lot of robust reporting for our executive team, and the only way that we can get what we need is to spend a lot of time playing with Excel spreadsheets. It's not an efficient use of our time. A few extra information filters in the LMS would made things so much easier.

Communication from EZLCMS is pretty spotty as well. They did a huge content release several months ago and did not provide any release notes. We logged in to find some interesting functionality changes that we had no idea were coming. They also have a habit of closing support tickets without a) fixing the issue and b) notifying us that the ticket was closed.

I work for a software company, and we NEVER close a client ticket without asking the client if our solution solved their issue, and our clients receive an email when their ticket is closed. We also provide release notes on our product home page when changes are coming so that our clients know what to expect.

I think price was the deciding factor when our management selected our LMS. In this case, we got what we paid for.

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).

We are also developing E Learning Content you can check our site http://www.xlprotraining.com/E-Learning.aspx

We use Greenlight from Silkroad.  I agree with the other comments that there isn't a perfect system out there.  Greenlight is fully SCORM compliant and works very well with Articulate.

Does anyone use Oracle Taleo Learn Cloud?  I really would like to hear some honest feedback.
