The product is highly dependent on other tools, and it doesn’t have reporting functions
The product is quite poor in integration with the back end. We can’t report out of it very well. It's highly dependent on other tools. If it doesn't integrate properly, it can be quite complex to work with. I don't see any value in having a learning experience platform over and above a working LMS like Cornerstone. Getting data out as an administrator has always been bad because the product doesn’t have its own reporting functions. It has a reporting tool added to it. It's not part of the core system. It's very hard to report on data accurately and know that the data is accurate because it doesn't always reflect what's actually in the tool.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integrations work fine."
"The customization features of Moodle significantly enhance the learning experience for our users."
"Since it's an open-source product, you can integrate it with many other things."
"The monitoring aspect is important for students."
"From a features and functionality point of view, this solution is one of the best."
"It is very flexible; it is like a salad bar, you can put anything that you want into Moodle and top it off with whatever you want."
"A really nice thing about Moodle is that it is very robust and flexible, and one of the big advantages of Moodle is that it is open source. It also has a lot of free documentation."
"We see, and estimated, a 60% productivity improvement in managing trainee learning progress."
"We ran a poll on how users feel about using Moodle and the feedback was magnificent."
 

Cons

"It's highly dependent on other tools."
"I also think Moodle lacks sufficiently good architecture to handle a lot of users simultaneously."
"The solution should have more student-centric details in the modules."
"The UI and interface of Moodle could be greatly improved. There has been some improvement in recent releases by Moodle but there is still a lot to be improved upon. It is challenging to get buy-in from different stakeholders when they see what it looks like."
"Needs to be better documented especially the database schema."
"Sometimes, discrepancies arise when the information is not updated or lacks precision, potentially leading to the model producing misleading or incorrect outputs based on its training."
"Moodle does have limitations in terms of the scalability."
"The support is pretty bad. There isn't really any support for Moodle unless you pay an astronomical amount."
"They need to have a better way to illustrate competencies so that, when people go through the programs, they can actually show they are competent in the subject matter."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool’s pricing is too much for what it is."
"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."
"In terms of cost, it is available at no charge."
"It is a free-of-cost solution."
"Moodle is a free solution."
"Moodle have a very robust licensing system that is user friendly. It's not very expensive."
"The licensing cost is quite high and it operates on an annual basis."
"Moodle is a free online learning platform, but it also offers a paid version of it."
"Moodle is a free open-sourced solution. This is one of the best aspects of Moodle."
