Pros
"The most valuable features are the templates that come with the package, the recording features, as well as the surveys and quizzes that you can create with it.""Adobe Captivate is a complex software. You can create many complex learnings with it. T""Automatic responsive designs allow us to not have to code for any eLearning modules.""It helped us bring in-house what would have otherwise been extremely costly projects."

"This complete product is highly scalable. Licensing is not based on number of total users on the system but rather only on active users. Litmos only charge for the number of users engaged in training. This is what makes this solution ideal for scale.""Its user interface is quite good. The platform is quite user-friendly. The UI/UX of the platform is very advanced, which helps in getting the users interested in the training.""It's very easy to design content and create training models within the app, so you don't always have to use a third-party tool to develop your e-learning.""There is a couple of good features available, you can customize the dashboard, CSA, and home page. You can customize the solution to your business standards. SAP Litmos offers a library of 2,500 plus courses to premium members. They have a good library of pre-built courses. It's a variety of soft skill courses including management, and marketing. You can offer these courses to your students, which is excellent.""Litmos has an excellent user interface. It's well designed and intuitive. It also has a great content engine. I'm one of the admins, so I create content in the system and use that to produce courses. We make our own training content and credit records. They recently added a new feature called the Course Content Creator, and I'm a big fan. I also like that Litmos lets you record online and face-to-face training so you can create what they call Instructor-led Training Events (ILT).""Its pricing is good, and its performance is good when it works.""Content Author removes the need for a third-party solution for content creation.""It incorporates the majority of the elements."

Cons
"I would love to see a "For Dummies" option. It gets pretty extensive in its level of intricacies and options offered.""The older or classic version of Adobe Captivate needs much improvement because everything looks very old.""I would love a quick widget which walks novices through the process along with descriptive output options.""The voice sounds automated and I would like to have a more natural-sounding voice."

More Adobe Captivate Cons →

"The reporting function of SAP Litmos needs major improvements. The reports are not at par with other solutions on the market. It's not user-friendly or effective reporting which we can retrieve from other places.""The rules are not very flexible in terms of administration. They have a predefined system with three standard rules that cannot be customized, modified, added, or removed.""The auto-assign feature that auto assigns courses to learners and puts them into a different learning path has had a bug for the last year and a half. My team has spent numerous hours trying to troubleshoot and fix that, but it's still broken. Until they fix that, it's going to be a higher admin burden for people to manage.""The reporting in Litmos could be improved. It is difficult to pull accurate reporting based on how the solution is set up and parameters are selected.""Lacks a variety of language options.""The reporting could be improved. When we first subscribed to Litmos, it had a great reporting engine, but SAP altered it. Some of the changes have reduced the ability to extract reports from it. It's excellent for live data, but it can be tricky when I want to get a report.""The solution lags in defined security parameters with only three predefined roles available.""You cannot make a course optional, so if I assign a course to someone, the system assumes that they have to complete it."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This product is part of the larger Adobe Creative Cloud offering, which costs about $600 USD per year."
  • More Adobe Captivate Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is priced per user license."
  • "There are three different pricing models. One is only to use the platform and to add your own learning material. The second plan includes the learning management system plus 2000 plus pre built courses on different areas including leadership, software skills, HR and IT related training. The third package allows you to integrate the system with tools such Salesforce or other CRMs."
  • "I do not have any idea about the licensing, but I know that it is quite expensive."
  • "If I have a domain and I want to link my custom domain to SAP Litmos, and if I want to remove the branding of the SAP Litmos, then they charge a large amount for it. It's not included in your subscription plan which we have purchased from them. In the last two to three years, we have never bought the custom domain. We have never linked our custom domain to SAP Litmos. The barrier for us is the high pricing. It is not a reasonable price."
  • "When we first purchased our subscription, we underestimated how many people we would have within a billing period. We had to adjust that in the first six months. I can't remember the exact numbers, but they charge a per user rate for a certain number, and you get a discount as the number of users goes up. It scales, which is a fairly reasonable way to build a pricing model."
  • "This solution comes at a high price point. We also paid $4500 for a migration specialist from Litmos to assist in moving our content over. You are billed every month based on the number of users who have logged in and completed training."
  • "The pricing is really good. Its pricing is probably the most competitive I've seen for an LMS. If you need help with doing any type of custom design or customization, such as code design or anything like that with the site, then you have to use their people services, which would be an extra cost."
  • "The solution is priced per user which can get expensive."
