"A really nice thing about Moodle is that it is very robust and flexible, and one of the big advantages of Moodle is that it is open source. It also has a lot of free documentation."
"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."
"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 feature is the community. Moodle is a completely open source application and provides a lot of development knowledge. The other features we find valuable are the LTI tools, integrations and BigBlueButton."
"Moodle integrates with many third party plugins, which has enabled us to make use of the latest technology. During the Covid 19 period, we used a plugin called BigBlueButton to facilitate online learning which was quick and easy to do."
"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."
"Cost-effective and intuitive."
"The solution is a user-friendly application for learning, designing, and setting up courses."
"The most valuable features of the solution were the deployment and onboarding."
"Some valuable features include assigning various courses to employees based on their groups and roles, as well as providing specialized training for new hires."
"Safety is the most robust aspect of this platform."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning is highly scalable."
"The platform's most valuable feature is personalized learning recommendations."
"The analytics and reporting features are very helpful."
"The interface is really friendly, and the training embedded in it is very easy to use, explore, and search. The catalog is pretty strong."
"It would be good to have a feature that would ensure that students are the ones performing the given assessment."
"The multi-tenancy system within Moodle could be improved. IOMAD is what makes the multi-tenancy possible but this comes with many issues."
"Moodle should improve the interface. You can download plugins, such as templates, and use them in Moodle, but they're limited. The interface component in Moodle can improve for students because we always have to train every student on how to use some of each feature. The solution overall could be more user-friendly."
"Moodle is missing a subscription-based system where learners can subscribe to available courses and make the payment for those courses."
"The biggest area for improvement is the UI. They should also make the navigation simpler to understand. They've recently introduced a new way of having navigation work in Moodle, but they all look very similar."
"For a first time user, especially someone who is non-technical, Moodle is difficult for them to understand and they often need assistance."
"One aspect that I found a bit confusing was the dual editing system, where you could edit the layout of the course separately from editing the content."
"They need to have a better way to illustrate competencies so that, when people go through the programs, they can actually show they are competent in the subject matter."
"The certifications are valid for only six months."
"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."
"The product must make the integrations more seamless."
"The initial installation could be a bit easier."
"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."
"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."
"The technical support team has room for improvement."
"One area I would like to improve in SAP SuccessFactors Learning is the overall user experience and product feedback loop."
