A solution with great customization and visually appealing features
I rate this solution a nine out of ten. Storyline has so much flexibility, and you can do so much fun with it. It's top-rated. You can do basic things and get carried away with Storyline. However, if you're looking to convert a PowerPoint presentation into something that looks nice or has an embedded video where the speaker would be, iSpring Learn is a good solution. It's a great program, and we use many features. For example, we use Camtasia for video and screen recordings. If we want to create a game or start something from scratch and customize it for the user with graphics and places with many engagement features, we can use either Articulate or Storyline. Everything is contained in one window, and it's visually appealing. We can scroll down, and it's almost like a webpage where we get all the information. iSpring Learn is made so that we can create visually appealing and engaging content with just a PowerPoint presentation. Sometimes we have people who give us a PowerPoint and say, "Can you do something with this? Can you make it pretty?" Or they'll provide us with audio and say, "I recorded these slides for PowerPoint. Can we jazz it up? Can we do something?" So we put the picture or their bio with their contact information. If they have any attachments, we'll add resources to them. Then we convert the PowerPoint and add the audio, which looks great. iSpring Learn is easy to work with.

Easy to administer and use, integrates well, and helps with compliance management
Their reporting side of things could be better. The reporting dashboard or user interface reporting dashboard is not as intuitive as it potentially could be, but the problem with that is that every organization is going to want something slightly different. So, it's hard, but it is an area where it could improve. To do that, they would need to make some humongous improvements around being able to build your own dashboard within the system, which is pretty huge. 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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can quickly convert PowerPoint to e-Learning modules and add video and other resources to our e-Learning modules."
"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."
"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)."
"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."
"Content Author removes the need for a third-party solution for content creation."
"Its pricing is good, and its performance is good when it works."
"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."
"The plug-and-play format can be deployed immediately which is unlike its competitors that take three to four months."
 

Cons

"I would recommend some enhancements to the product."
"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."
"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 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."
"You cannot make a course optional, so if I assign a course to someone, the system assumes that they have to complete 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 solution lags in defined security parameters with only three predefined roles available."
"The dashboards for this solution could be improved as they are not of the same standard and detail as those seen in Power BI. The graphics for the reporting could also be improved."
"Lacks a variety of language options."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
