Secures the business for customers quickly and accurately
It secures the business for the customers. For instance, if any phishing emails come into the environment and employees see it, we direct the email to Triage. The Triage system will investigate it through AI technology to see if it's a phishing email or not. If it is a phishing email, it will quarantine it and erase it from the environment.

A highly flexible and customizable learning management system with a wide range of features, providing educators with the tools to create engaging and interactive online courses
Moodle has proven to be highly effective for training and professional development within our organization. It has replaced the traditional practice of sending individuals on courses across the country, offering coast-to-coast accessibility. We've also begun utilizing badges for internal certification, streamlining the process of recognizing achievement. As its usage has expanded, we started with native Moodle on our section and have since extended it to other groups. The integration of third-party plugins or tools has influenced our utilization of Moodle. While we haven't implemented as many filters as we potentially could have, one individual has managed administration duties and the integration of these tools. This individual has also been involved in other areas, dedicating significant time to programming within Moodle for a specific program for one group. This process has spanned several years, demonstrating the commitment required to bring these enhancements to fruition.

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

Pros

"It secures the business for the customers."
"For instance, if any phishing emails come into the environment and employees see it, we direct the email to Triage. The Triage system will investigate it through AI technology to see if it's a phishing email or not. If it is a phishing email, it will quarantine it and erase it from the environment."
"Moodle has a vast array of features which are really useful for the work our company does. Moodle hosts the courses through online systems and also offers quizzes and badges which our customers frequently use."
"One of the most valuable aspects is the ability to input data into the model."
"The most valuable feature is the community. Moodle is a completely open source application and provides a lot of development knowledge. The other features we find valuable are the LTI tools, integrations and BigBlueButton."
"We see, and estimated, a 60% productivity improvement in managing trainee learning progress."
"This is a scalable solution; we have had 30,000 students using the solution and during COVID, we were able to accommodate a 500% increase in traffic."
"Upgrade feature and git to upgrade the core code - love it."
"Moodle is useful for several things, and you can customize it."
"One of my biggest pet peeves is that many LMSs do not offer a course or site-level backup that is an industry-standard file. So, if you decide you don't like Moodle or some other LMS, you should be able to back up all your data and take it and go somewhere else. Moodle does offer that. There are several others that do that as well, but there are some LMSs that don't, which isn't a very good business practice because they hold their clients hostage. That's one of the things I really like about Moodle."
 

Cons

"If they continue improving and enhancing this solution, it could be even faster and more accurate."
"The ability to input modified, individual, independent grades in a grade center component is not just hard. It almost always requires you to get tech involved."
"Everything is very text heavy. There are no videos or moving images. For a visual learner, there's not a lot of visual content so Moodle is not suitable for all types of learners."
"The biggest area for improvement is the UI. They should also make the navigation simpler to understand. They've recently introduced a new way of having navigation work in Moodle, but they all look very similar."
"An improvement would be to have it support physically challenged students, who we think should be able to participate in some of our courses."
"For a first time user, especially someone who is non-technical, Moodle is difficult for them to understand and they often need assistance."
"Needs to be better documented especially the database schema."
"The multi-tenancy system within Moodle could be improved. IOMAD is what makes the multi-tenancy possible but this comes with many issues."
"If you just install it as it is, the user experience will be a disaster if you don't understand what to do."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Moodle is an open-source solution that is free of cost."
"Moodle offer a 14 day free trial and then requires payment."
"Moodle is a free online learning platform, but it also offers a paid version of it."
"Moodle have a very robust licensing system that is user friendly. It's not very expensive."
"In terms of cost, it is available at no charge."
"It is a one-time registration with the Moodle site. There isn't a yearly or monthly fee."
"Moodle is free. It should probably stay free. There isn't really any support for Moodle unless you pay an astronomical amount, which is weird."
"It varies depending on the partner you're going with. It depends on whether they are a certified partner or not. It also varies depending on the demand. Usually, with Moodle and other LMSs, there is concurrent licensing. It's hard to figure out the best way to do it at the company that is selling the LMS. Moodle is usually one of the most cost-effective LMSs you can get."
