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 strengthened my Linux networking skills and improved real-time troubleshooting
Red Hat Learning Subscription can be improved in several ways. I feel overall it is a solid platform, but some labs feel a bit guided. Adding more open-ended or real-world scenario-based labs would improve problem-solving skills. The learning paths feel very generic at times, and more role-based tracks, such as tracks for a network engineer versus a system admin, would be very helpful. It would be great to have more real-world case studies or troubleshooting scenarios. Occasionally improving lab performance or loading time would enhance the experience. If it were more interactive, such as quizzes based on weak areas, it could make it more personalized. I think adding more real-world, less guided labs and making it more interactive with quizzes and learning features would really enhance the experience. I would also love to have a listen to the speech button where, instead of just reading the content, I could play or listen to the content while I am working at my day job and also preparing alongside, reading some content on Red Hat Learning Subscription. A speech-aloud button where I can listen instead of just reading that long document would be really helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"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)."
"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, and SAP Litmos offers a library of 2,500 plus courses to premium members with a good library of pre-built soft skill courses including management and marketing that you can offer to your students, which is excellent."
"Red Hat Learning Subscription is very good as it allows you to do self-paced training, but there is also online training or on-demand training."
"Red Hat Learning Subscription's hands-on lab environment enhances the learning experience by allowing people to gain more hands-on experience and practice."
"Compared to third-party applications to learn Red Hat, Red Hat Learning Subscription is easier due to the full documentation on how to use it, how to install it, and how to perform specific actions."
"Red Hat Learning Subscription is worth its money, so it is a worth investment."
"Overall, it has contributed to better efficiency and confidence when I am handling real-time issues as a network engineer."
 

Cons

"After using this solution for four years, and raising our challenges around functionality, we did not see any improvements."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"You cannot make a course optional, so if I assign a course to someone, the system assumes that they have to complete it."
"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 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 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."
"As an individual accessing the portal, it is a little expensive."
"I chose a rating of nine instead of ten because Red Hat Learning Subscription has interactive labs that are subject to time constraints."
"Red Hat's product portfolio needs to expand. Currently, it focuses only on Red Hat Linux, Ansible, and JBoss, which represents a very small market."
"I would say it is expensive in general for Red Hat Learning Subscription. A company will have to assist in paying for it."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"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 do not have any idea about the licensing, but I know that it is quite expensive."
