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.

Once you purchase the subscription model, you get unlimited access to live and on-demand content. It is most cost-effective for teams needing broad upskilling. Working for a banking project, security, cloud architect, API security, and DevOps practices are essential benefits for us. Simplilearn for Business was helpful in improving our productivity in business marketing. It gives a general positive impact. For the business, we observed a noticeable improvement in our team's technical skill levels and overall productivity.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"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."

"Litmos has an excellent user interface, it's well designed and intuitive, and it also has a great content engine."

"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."

"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."

"Its pricing is good, and its performance is good when it works."

"Its user interface is quite good, the platform is quite user-friendly, and the UI/UX of the platform is very advanced, which helps in getting the users interested in the training."

More Litmos pros

"The most valuable feature was the knowledge it provided."

"Simplilearn for Business has positively impacted my organization because after completing the courses, we have gained good knowledge of new technologies present in the market."

"Each video holds significant value, and viewers will definitely gain something from it—this is not filler content but content with substance."

"My advice to others looking into using Simplilearn for Business is to not over-explore anything else, just go for Simplilearn for Business as it is the best platform I would suggest for any other trainers."

"The best features that Simplilearn for Business offers are that if we complete one certification course, they offer multiple courses, which makes it possible for us to learn in our free time and also helps in completing other certifications."

"The Simplilearn for Business concepts I learned, including some advanced Python concepts and AWS concepts, helped me to bridge QA automation into cloud-related topics and allowed me to apply automation at full scale in cloud-based projects."

"The best features Simplilearn for Business offers include getting certifications, and from a UI perspective, it is a user-friendly application."

"Individuals used this to improve their skills on cloud deployments and Java development, which indirectly resulted in faster project completion."

More Simplilearn for Business pros

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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"First of all, their issue resolution is really bad."

"The solution lacks a variety of language options."

More Litmos cons

"While Simplilearn for Business has excellent content, the presentation and appearance of the website feel outdated and could be improved."

"The improvements I wish to see in Simplilearn for Business revolve around platform and user experience enhancements."

"There could be improvements for Simplilearn for Business, such as the lack of interactive workshops; it primarily involves watching videos and logging into the respective AWS or Azure account to follow the instructor's guidance, but it would be better to have some integrated platform within Simplilearn for Business to understand the basics practically."

"The content needs to be improved, and I expect more availability for a single course."

"To improve Simplilearn for Business, I think real-time classes could have reduced hours."

"Simplilearn for Business can be improved in several ways."

"The customer support for Simplilearn for Business is a bit delayed, as their response comes late, a few days after I create the ticket, typically after two or three days."

"I'm not sure about the mobile app, but if we had a mobile app for Simplilearn for Business, that would be great, as most users are using mobile devices."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"The solution is priced per user which can get 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."

"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."

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

"It is priced per user license."
