ManujGupta - PeerSpot reviewer
User satisfaction grows with valuable features and excellent customer support
Some features of SAP SuccessFactors Learning that require improvement include reporting tools and dashboarding, which are not so good, and integration is really difficult. In the future, I suggest updates primarily on the mobile user experience side, reporting, dashboarding, and workflows. An AI version would definitely help significantly. Integrating SAP SuccessFactors Learning with HR systems through HR processes in my organization is very difficult.
Raj Test - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
