E Learning Systems Consultant at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
Flexible e-learning has supported multi-campus growth but still needs more open themes and plugins
I think they should actually provide some more free versions of most of their themes. I think most of the things you have to use on Edly are all paid for you to have a good experience. I think they should work on making some open-source plugins or themes that people can also explore. Because Moodle itself is actually open-source, but if you want to go for the paid Moodle, you can still use the free one, but there are some restrictions in Edly that if they can just add some free themes, it will still make it not seem as though they are not selling, but it will attract more users to explore what they have as a solution.

Senior Manager II, Learning operations and multi media at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
Its pricing is competitive, but the auto-assign feature that is most valuable for us hasn't been working for the last year and a half
We have a complex implementation because we have an outsourced population of over 50% of our user base. So, we have a lot of challenges. We have no HCM for user data. We have to create our own custom metadata to manage everything, and there are lots of logistical challenges in terms of implementation. If you have to go through and create a custom metadata system, as we did, and stand up all these other systems, it would take three to six months. If you have a human capital management system that's ready to go and you have all your data in the right segments and whatnot, it could be done in one to three months. In terms of maintenance, we recently re-scoped this to where we have one person that oversees the LMS as a whole, and then we have two administrators that carry out the tactical task, such as auto enrollments, user creations, and all other audit components. We also have a rotational employee that does audits on the LMS to make sure everything is working correctly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Edy made content delivery more efficient than other tools that I was using previously."
"There's no way you can build a solution that you cannot easily customize, which is actually the powerful feature of Edly."
"Edly ties up with the world's best educational institutions and provides the best courses with reasonable time frames to finish the modules, which is something I appreciate most about Edly."
"Edly has positively impacted my organization by giving our employees confidence to perform well, especially when dealing with critical projects."
"The plug-and-play format can be deployed immediately which is unlike its competitors that require certifications, implementation partners, and phased testing that can take three to four months."
"The pricing is really good; its pricing is probably the most competitive I've seen for an LMS."
"From a learning management system admin perspective, it has a user-friendly interface, but the functionality is deep. So, you can automate people in and out of courses. It lowers the general admin of an LMS admin so that I can focus more on value-adding things for the organization I'm working with."
"It incorporates the majority of the elements."
"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)."
"It's a viable option because LMS would entail a significant amount of support and maintenance, while this solution could be completed and understood in a week, with very little maintenance required."
"SAP Litmos brings more standardized training to our organizations."
"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."
 

Cons

"It was simple enough to use, but I could not make a significant difference in terms of efficiency compared to other platforms such as Blackboard or Moodle."
"I sometimes find issues with even the finished modules in Edly where I cannot proceed to the next module and must restart the same modules."
"I think they should work on making some open-source plugins or themes that people can also explore."
"Edly can be improved by addressing the limitation in integration with third-party platforms."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"After using this solution for four years, and raising our challenges around functionality, we did not see any improvements."
"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

Information not available
"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."
"I don't know what the pricing model is at this point in time. I'm a consultant. The organizations that have purchased Litmos engage me to help them implement it, or Litmos engage me to be their external learning management system administrator. So, I don't see the rates, but based on the general comments that I've heard, it seems cost-effective and competitive with its competitors."
"It is priced per user license."
"The solution is priced per user which can get expensive."
"I do not have any idea about the licensing, but I know that it is quite expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
