An easy-to-use and responsive solution that can be used for creating e-learnings and micro-learnings
Rise should offer more interactive features because they are limited. Articulate is trying to keep the solution as responsive as possible. If I want any advanced interactivity, I have to create something within Rise's sister product, Storyline, and then import it into Rise, which can be difficult at times. The solution should include more variety in the integration of the elements such as text and video and text and image. The solution should include more options for creating tables, charts, and graphs.The solution should include more variety in the integration of the elements such as text and video and text and image.

Offers an easy-to-use LMS solution with room for improvement in scalability and user experience
The problem with TalentLMS is that it has some bugs. If you need to upload an image, then it will cause trouble. It is not actually stable. Another drawback of the LMS systems is that they are not scalable. It is not able to handle more users or requests at a time. I checked it and have completed load testing for this application, and I see they cannot handle 1000 users at the same time. So, if 1000 users become online at a time, that will cause trouble. I restarted their solution, and I checked the features. I have tried to do something there, and in the beginning, I see the problem in the uploading issue. It is unstructured somehow. If I would build this software, then I would use distributed technology and architecture. Then this architecture would manage any type of request when necessary. I could actually make the interface simple and user-friendly. There should be a flow. Actually, these two LMS systems don’t have the proper flow. Suppose you already study your education journey. Then, of course, you complete your standard one, two, three, four. Then you go to complete the secondary and intermediate. So, whenever you are a user, then you should have a sequence in the dashboard. Then you can actually do better things, or you can use your system properly and easily without any headache, without more training.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ease of layout is the most valuable feature of Rise."
"You can't beat this solution for the price; I've worked with Cornerstone On-Demand, Captivate Pride, Sum Total, and Knowledge Planet, and those learning systems are $40 to $70 per person, but for this solution, depending on what licensing level you're at, you're looking at less than $3 a user per month, and the pricing is insane for what you get, which is why my company is still using it."
"The setup for TalentLMS is easier than Cypher LMS."
"It is one of the least expensive learning management systems I've ever worked with."
"Notifications can to automated to notify users of assigned courses, remind users of outstanding courses, and email PDF certificates upon successful completion."
 

Cons

"Rise should offer more interactive features because they are limited."
"The problem with TalentLMS is that it has some bugs. If you need to upload an image, then it will cause trouble. It is not actually stable."
"The biggest challenge of TalentLMS is that if you use their builder and go through the effort of building courses in their programming along with your text and information, the only thing you're going to be able to pull out are images or media."
"Regarding improvement areas, when I upload animated training packs in Microsoft PowerPoint format, the animation and transitions are lost. This makes it static."
"The built-in builder has some rather serious limitations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For an enterprise looking for a very quick and durable learning solution for their company, the solution's price is very, very reasonable."
"You can't beat this solution for the price."
