Comparison Results: Our users prefer SAP SuccessFactors Learning over Moodle. It offers an intuitive interface, easy-to-use training, a strong catalog, and smooth integration with other solutions.

"Since it's an open-source product, you can integrate it with many other things."
"Almost all the activity modules are available inside the courses, so that makes our training easier and more comfortable."
"One of my biggest pet peeves is that many LMSs do not offer a course or site-level backup that is an industry-standard file. So, if you decide you don't like Moodle or some other LMS, you should be able to back up all your data and take it and go somewhere else. Moodle does offer that. There are several others that do that as well, but there are some LMSs that don't, which isn't a very good business practice because they hold their clients hostage. That's one of the things I really like about Moodle."
"The most valuable feature of Moodle is the exam question shuffle. Students in the classroom will all have different question list numbers. For example, one student's question one will be another student's question ten."
"Moodle has a vast array of features which are really useful for the work our company does. Moodle hosts the courses through online systems and also offers quizzes and badges which our customers frequently use."
"What I liked most about Moodle was that I could create nice online quizzes. It takes very little time to do. You don't have to even read the paper, it automatically evaluates the quizzes. It gives the student grades and provides a lot of useful statistics. For example, it indicates which question was the hardest, easiest, and where students made the most mistakes. Everything is available to you. You couldn't do this in regular paper test hard copies. This was my first use case."
"One of the most valuable aspects is the ability to input data into the model."
"Cost-effective and intuitive."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of the solution were the deployment and onboarding."
"It is a very stable tool. It is the most stable security application."
"Some valuable features include assigning various courses to employees based on their groups and roles, as well as providing specialized training for new hires."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning's most valuable features are accessibility and updated UX. The solution can be accessed from outside of the office network and the user's experience is good."
"The platform's most valuable feature is personalized learning recommendations."
"The analytics and reporting features are very helpful."
"One valuable aspect of SAP SuccessFactors Learning is its stability and established customer base, particularly evident in modules like Employee Central."
"Everything is very text heavy. There are no videos or moving images. For a visual learner, there's not a lot of visual content so Moodle is not suitable for all types of learners."
"Its interface design could be more user-friendly."
"It would be good to have a feature that would ensure that students are the ones performing the given assessment."
"Moodle could improve by being more user-friendly. Sometimes it worked and other times it didn't. If you get stuck, then you don't have a point of contact. Additionally, a VPN is required to make sure the connection is secured."
"The ability to input modified, individual, independent grades in a grade center component is not just hard. It almost always requires you to get tech involved. When you're dealing with a learning system where you have people in an open enrollment with all different levels of learning modes or methodologies, and as well as a worldwide student body, you end up with situations where you have to absolutely exempt somebody from a grade or an assignment and enter a new, different kind of assignment because of their skillset or lack thereof. You can't do that in Moodle. It is virtually impossible to do that in Moodle without having a tech do it for you, and when you have to have that level of tech support, it becomes problematic. They need to fix the grade book center. It is the part where you do evaluations. They need to fix it so that the individual professors can make changes directly without having to get a hold of tech support to do it for them."
"The solution architecture could be improved."
"For a first time user, especially someone who is non-technical, Moodle is difficult for them to understand and they often need assistance."
"Moodle's weakest point is the user interface."
"SuccessFactors Learning solely serves as a plain learning experience platform without any pre-existing content."
"The GUI and dashboards are areas in the solution with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The certifications are valid for only six months."
"The application integration between cloud and on-premises storage has been completed. However, there is still room for improvement in integrating EC and SAP applications."
"The product needs to improve its escalation system."
"One area I would like to improve in SAP SuccessFactors Learning is the overall user experience and product feedback loop."
"The product's configuration process needs improvement."
"What needs improvement in SAP SuccessFactors Learning is the user interface. The user management and the integration of the whole suite could also be improved. The solution also needs to be modernized because at the moment, it's a little bit outdated. It's old-fashioned, and though it has a data import feature, that's just plain outdated. SAP SuccessFactors Learning doesn't have any cutting-edge features."
