"Its user interface is quite good. The platform is quite user-friendly. The UI/UX of the platform is very advanced, which helps in getting the users interested in the training."
"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 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."
"It's very easy to design content and create training models within the app, so you don't always have to use a third-party tool to develop your e-learning."
"It incorporates the majority of the elements."
"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)."
"The plug-and-play format can be deployed immediately which is unlike its competitors that take three to four months."
"Its pricing is good, and its performance is good when it works."
"The most valuable feature is the smooth integration."
"The solution is a user-friendly application for learning, designing, and setting up courses."
"I find the user interface user-friendly compared to the initial application."
"The most valuable feature for us in SAP SuccessFactors is the Performance Management module."
"One valuable aspect of SAP SuccessFactors Learning is its stability and established customer base, particularly evident in modules like Employee Central."
"Some valuable features include assigning various courses to employees based on their groups and roles, as well as providing specialized training for new hires."
"The learning features are great."
"Reporting is very nice."
"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."
"Lacks a variety of language options."
"You cannot make a course optional, so if I assign a course to someone, the system assumes that they have to complete it."
"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 auto-assign feature that auto assigns courses to learners and puts them into a different learning path has had a bug for the last year and a half. My team has spent numerous hours trying to troubleshoot and fix that, but it's still broken. Until they fix that, it's going to be a higher admin burden for people to manage."
"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."
"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 solution lags in defined security parameters with only three predefined roles available."
"This solution does not support right to left for the Arabic Language, and the Arabic text support is very bad."
"I am talking about SAP in general, so there are multiple screens that you have to go through, and it takes some time to get used to it."
"The flexibility and user-friendliness of the user's front end can be improved."
"The certifications are valid for only six months."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning doesn't have a punch-in and punch-out facility."
"The initial installation could be a bit easier."
"Licensing is a major challenge in the solution."
"There is no portal within the tool for collaboration."
