Moodle provides flexibility, various customization options, and a supportive community for collaborative modifications and adaptations.

The initial setup for Moodle can be simple or complicated depending on the user's experience and the chosen deployment method. Moodle's deployment is generally considered to be straightforward, but some users may require the assistance of developers or professional services.

"The solution is stable."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to import and export documents for courses, assessments, and questionnaires in any format."
"It is relatively easy to use to build processes for establishing and conducting work within the templates that are used. It is not that hard to follow along or use, and it is pretty simple to pick it up and run with it."
"The number of permissions that are available and different ways to report and get the information out are the most valuable features. We have been able to get precise bits of information out, and we have also been able to delegate a lot."
"Since it's an open-source product, you can integrate it with many other things."
"One of the most valuable aspects is the ability to input data into the model."
"They have made it really easy for you to see the flow on the forums. The information is well organized and the UI is fairly easy to navigate."
"This is a scalable solution. We have had 30,000 students using the solution. During COVID, we were able to accommodate a 500% increase in traffic."
"The most valuable features of the solution were the deployment and onboarding."
"The solution is a user-friendly application for learning, designing, and setting up courses."
"The most valuable feature for us in SAP SuccessFactors is the Performance Management module."
"Safety is the most robust aspect of this platform."
"The product offers a lot of information which we can share with systems."
"The platform's most valuable feature is personalized learning recommendations."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The best feature of SAP SuccessFactors Learning for me is the assignment profile. It's a rather specific feature, but this is what comes to mind."
"Where Moodle could definitely improve is the user interface. You have a lot of themes and you can customize themes, but if you are going to use Moodle off the shelf, even with a hosting company, a lot of training is involved. Training is available, but if your faculty or your development team isn't highly technical, it's going to be a challenge, whereas there are other interfaces that are much easier, but they don't do as much. So, there is a give and take there. If Moodle could find a way to make the user interface for the instructional designers and the learners more intuitive, it probably would be a huge improvement. The manager area and the admin area are fine, but when it comes to the people who are using the system but might not be highly technical, it needs improvement."
"Moodle Mobile is a really good area for improvement. All of 4.0 hasn't been released yet, and Moodle Mobile is not yet available for all different devices."
"The solution could be improved if support was an integral part of the whole solution. There are a few challenges in terms of performance due to Moodle being a free-to-use platform but these can be overcome with the use of their support team."
"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 solution should have more student-centric details in the modules."
"It would be good to have a feature that would ensure that students are the ones performing the given assessment."
"We have needed to complete many customizations for Moodle to use it in all of our relevant organizations. We have found many issues with the competencies as we cannot assign many sub competencies to competencies."
"Its interface design could be more user-friendly."
"The consultants implementing this solution could be more knowledgeable."
"The flexibility and user-friendliness of the user's front end can be improved."
"Licensing is a major challenge in the solution."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning's e-learning portal has a very poor interface when compared to Cornerstone or PeopleFluent. It's a very basic interface, but I know that it has a very good foundation."
"SuccessFactors Learning solely serves as a plain learning experience platform without any pre-existing content."
"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."
"This solution does not support right to left for the Arabic Language, and the Arabic text support is very bad."
"The product's configuration process needs improvement."
