A powerful and easy-to-use repository that does automatic updates
Articulate 360 got me out from different offering tools that did not offer the same capabilities or usability that Articulate 360 offers. It's really hard to explain it without diving into other tools and just telling how awful they were. Articulate 360 was a revelation for everyone in my field. The solution was very powerful and easy, and I can do so many different things. It just kept going and going, and it snowballed into this thing where it's now the industry standard, and that's really helpful.

Useful training available, customizable, but security could improve
SAP Litmos need some improvement in the security functions. The security of the SAP Litmos is not up to the standard of the organizations because if you are hosting your content in SAP Litmos or any other LMS, then one of the major concerns for the company is to secure their training data to prevent the student from copying it. Additionally, we want to prevent students from sharing their logins with different users. In the last two to three years, there was not very much improvement in the security function of the SAP Litmos because students are easily able to copy the data from the online cloud to their desktop. They have to roll out some functions for which we can restrict, the copy-paste features in SAP Litmos itself. There must be some function through which we can restrict the number of views on the content. For example, if a student is accessing a post, then there should be some option to restrict the number of views on a post. If I want that student to have access to a specific topic a specific number of times, such as four or five times, then it would be a benefit for the administrators to secure their data. In this case, a student has a lesser possibility to share the login with multiple students if I restrict the number of views on a specific topic. They have to look at the copy and paste functions to secure them from being used in the data configuration. Restricting the number of views on a SCOM content or a video file. The overall integration could be improved, at this time they only support live webinars for Zoom and Go Webinar. Not every company uses these two applications, some companies use Zoho to deliver the training programs online. They should expand their integration with other applications. They can easily share the logins between multiple users. The security function is lacking. They have to work on the security functions of the SAP Litmos as a priority. 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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features are the speed of development and professionalism of the output that comes from the system. It is also easy to translate to LMS or LXP systems. The storyline tool is also good for more advanced projects. The product has an integrated review valuable tool for getting quick feedback collected in one place while training is being developed."
"The platform's most valuable feature is trackability with an interactive element."
"It's really nice that Articulate 360 keeps everything up to date and does automatic updates, which I don't have to schedule."
"It incorporates the majority of the elements."
"Its pricing is good, and its performance is good when it works."
"The plug-and-play format can be deployed immediately which is unlike its competitors that take three to four months."
"This is a very scalable solution. We had over 10,000 students in our instance and their billing model makes scaling affordable to do."
"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."
"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."
"Content Author removes the need for a third-party solution for content creation."
"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."
 

Cons

"Articulate 360 is slow to implement future enhancement requests. We would also like to see more flexibility in the layout of the courses."
"Articulate 360 could have a better video editor and make their audio editor a little more robust."
"There could be more tutorials available on the platform for new users."
"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."
"You cannot make a course optional, so if I assign a course to someone, the system assumes that they have to complete it."
"One feature that a few of my clients have been requesting is CPD. We should be able to capture CPD points for users within the system to be able to report on those."
"The solution lags in defined security parameters with only three predefined roles available."
"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."
"They can really improve in the reporting area. While doing sessions, there are various types of reports, such as the attendance report or assessment report. We can export the Excel dump of the report, but it is not that neat and clean. You have to change it a lot. You can customize the Excel dump as per your requirement, but it is not that user-friendly in terms of the admin part. They can do much better. They have room for improvement in the reporting area."
"Lacks a variety of language options."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Articulate 360 is a little bit expensive, but we get a decent value for money."
"The product is expensive."
"The solution is priced per user which can get expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
