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.

Hands-on labs have transformed my theoretical studies and now support real business projects
While the platform is excellent overall, I think the main area for improvement would be adding even more practical resources and hands-on labs. The current guided labs are fantastic for learning initial concepts, but it would be incredibly useful to have more unguided, real-world troubleshooting scenarios or projects. This would allow learners to bridge the gap between following a step-by-step tutorial and facing a complex, unstructured problem, making the learning experience even better. More of these challenging practical resources would further prepare learners for not just exams but for the unpredictable nature of real-world production environments. Regarding course updates, one thing I would improve is having clearer transition guides between course versions. While navigating the catalog, I have noticed some courses have multiple active iterations, such as the Enterprise Linux Automation with Ansible course for both 8.4 and 9.0. It would be incredibly helpful if the platform highlighted the specific differences or updates introduced in the new release, making it more accessible.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very easy to design content and create training models within the app, so you don't always have to use a third-party tool to develop your e-learning."
"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."
"This complete product is highly scalable, as licensing is not based on the total number of users on the system but rather only on active users, so Litmos only charges for the number of users engaged in training, which is what makes this solution ideal for scale."
"Its pricing is good, and its performance is good when it works."
"Content Author removes the need for a third-party solution for content creation."
"This is a very scalable solution, as we had over 10,000 students in our instance and their billing model makes scaling affordable to do."
"SAP Litmos brings more standardized training to our organizations."
"It incorporates the majority of the elements."
"Overall, it has contributed to better efficiency and confidence when I am handling real-time issues as a network engineer."
"Red Hat Learning Subscription is worth its money, so it is a worth investment."
"Red Hat Learning Subscription has positively impacted my organization by improving the team's capabilities and the possibility of obtaining certifications."
"Red Hat Learning Subscription positively impacts my organization by upskilling the engineering and operations team, improving expertise in Linux, OpenShift, Kubernetes, and Ansible, managing standardized expertise, and reducing dependency on external training providers while supporting us with certifications."
"Red Hat Learning Subscription's hands-on lab environment enhances the learning experience by allowing people to gain more hands-on experience and practice."
"Red Hat Learning Subscription has helped my organization by improving skills, skill development, hands-on experience, certifications, and career opportunities by learning industry-recognized certifications, and increased productivity."
"I would recommend Red Hat Learning Subscription to others because it is quite a find for people who want to learn specific skills, and I would highly recommend it to those aligned with my interests."
"Red Hat Learning Subscription helped me in this migration process and refinement of my Linux knowledge by enabling me to progress beyond just knowing basic Linux commands, where I was previously limited to copying and pasting ready-made commands, and when I studied on Red Hat Learning Subscription, I really learned each command, understood the reason for each command, and learned to think in Linux."
 

Cons

"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."
"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 lacks a variety of language options."
"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."
"After using this solution for four years, and raising our challenges around functionality, we did not see any improvements."
"First of all, their issue resolution is really bad."
"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."
"It is somewhat pricey, but I used the free trial, and I want to continue with it."
"While the platform is excellent overall, I think the main area for improvement would be adding even more practical resources and hands-on labs."
"As an individual accessing the portal, it is a little expensive."
"My experience with the pricing, implementation costs, and licenses for Red Hat Learning Subscription is that the prices are extremely expensive."
"My experience with the pricing, implementation costs, and licenses for Red Hat Learning Subscription is that the prices are extremely expensive."
"Some labs feel a bit guided and the learning paths feel very generic at times, so adding more open-ended, real-world scenario-based labs and more role-based tracks would be very helpful."
"I chose a rating of nine instead of ten because Red Hat Learning Subscription has interactive labs that are subject to time constraints."
"I find the subscription costs for individuals to be high, but they could be reduced with organizational support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I do not have any idea about the licensing, but I know that it is quite expensive."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is priced per user which can get 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."
"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."
"It is priced per user license."
"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."
