Useful training available, customizable, but security could improve
SAP Litmos need some improvement in the security functions. 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. Additionally, we want to prevent students from sharing their logins with different users. In the last two to three years, there was not very much improvement in the security function of the SAP Litmos because students are easily able to copy the data from the online cloud to their desktop. They have to roll out some functions for which we can restrict, the copy-paste features in SAP Litmos itself. There must be some function through which we can restrict the number of views on the content. For example, if a student is accessing a post, then there should be some option to restrict the number of views on a post. If I want that student to have access to a specific topic a specific number of times, such as four or five times, then it would be a benefit for the administrators to secure their data. In this case, a student has a lesser possibility to share the login with multiple students if I restrict the number of views on a specific topic. They have to look at the copy and paste functions to secure them from being used in the data configuration. Restricting the number of views on a SCOM content or a video file. The overall integration could be improved, at this time they only support live webinars for Zoom and Go Webinar. Not every company uses these two applications, some companies use Zoho to deliver the training programs online. They should expand their integration with other applications. They can easily share the logins between multiple users. The security function is lacking. They have to work on the security functions of the SAP Litmos as a priority. 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.

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."
"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."
"This is a very scalable solution. We had over 10,000 students in our instance and their billing model makes scaling affordable to do."
"Content Author removes the need for a third-party solution for content creation."
"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."
"It incorporates the majority of the elements."
"The plug-and-play format can be deployed immediately which is unlike its competitors that take three to four months."
"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)."
"We have seen better collaboration across the team, as learners are now more aligned on best practices and modern tools."
"Each video holds significant value, and viewers will definitely gain something from it—this is not filler content but content with substance."
"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."
"Simplilearn Learning Hub Plus – All Access has improved our organization by enabling employees to quickly upskill in relevant technologies and industry practices."
"Individuals used this to improve their skills on cloud deployments and Java development, which indirectly resulted in faster project completion."
"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."
"The most valuable feature was the knowledge it provided."
 

Cons

"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 solution lags in defined security parameters with only three predefined roles available."
"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 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 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."
"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 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."
"I think Simplilearn for Business could be improved by including some courses that connect to different real-world use cases."
"Simplilearn Learning Hub Plus – All Access could be improved by enhancing customer support responsiveness, fixing technical glitches in the app and LMS, and ensuring that live classes consistently match the promised schedule."
"There is room for improvement in providing more comprehensive knowledge."
"The content quality should be kept up to date."
"While Simplilearn for Business has excellent content, the presentation and appearance of the website feel outdated and could be improved."
"The content needs to be improved, and I expect more availability for a single course."
"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

"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
