We performed a comparison between Moodle and SAP SuccessFactors Learning based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Features: SAP SuccessFactors Learning is notable for its comprehensive catalog, useful assignment profile feature, and seamless integration with other software solutions. Moodle provides flexibility, various customization options, and a supportive community for collaborative modifications and adaptations. Users of SAP SuccessFactors Learning want an updated interface, enhanced user management and integration, and a more flexible front end. Moodle could enhance its student interface, mobile access, insights, and reporting.
Service and Support: Some SAP SuccessFactors Learning customers have praised the efficient and knowledgeable assistance they've received, while others have faced challenges in communicating with the support team. Users praised Moodle support for its timely resolution of issues, but others find it insufficient, particularly without additional help from a Moodle-certified partner.
Ease of Deployment: Setting up SAP SuccessFactors Learning is more difficult and intricate compared to Moodle. The migration of learning items from an older system can be problematic and outdated. 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.
Pricing: Users consider the SAP SuccessFactors Learning's initial fee for implementation and ongoing support to be costly. Moodle provides various pricing plans, including a free open source version with additional charges for customization and support.
ROI: SAP SuccessFactors Learning's ROI depends on factors like organization size and implementation goals. Users suggest referring to user reviews or case studies specific to your industry. Moodle has proven valuable for organizations, as it saves time and money by reducing the need for extensive involvement in tests and quizzes. It is considered a worthwhile investment for training purposes.
Comparison Results: Our users prefer SAP SuccessFactors Learning over Moodle. It offers an intuitive interface, easy-to-use training, a strong catalog, and smooth integration with other solutions. It also improves resource allocation and access functions, making tasks easier to perform. On the other hand, Moodle is praised for its flexibility and customization options, but it lacks a user-friendly interface, requires extensive training, and has limited support options. Overall, SAP SuccessFactors Learning provides a more comprehensive and efficient learning management solution.
"The fact that it's modular means you can easily expand with thousands of plugins that you can freely download from Moodle headquarters, and adding or removing functionality is easy."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Moodle is the exam question shuffle. Students in the classroom will all have different question list numbers. For example, one student's question one will be another student's question ten."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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."
"The ability to insert a variety of tools, create and organize course content, and share large volumes of materials, written, audio, or visual, is very valuable."
"One of my biggest pet peeves is that many LMSs do not offer a course or site-level backup that is an industry-standard file. So, if you decide you don't like Moodle or some other LMS, you should be able to back up all your data and take it and go somewhere else. Moodle does offer that. There are several others that do that as well, but there are some LMSs that don't, which isn't a very good business practice because they hold their clients hostage. That's one of the things I really like about Moodle."
"The interface is really friendly, and the training embedded in it is very easy to use, explore, and search. The catalog is pretty strong."
"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."
"It is a very stable tool. It is the most stable security application."
"Cloud Solution enables accessing the system from the internet, with no need to be within the company network."
"I find the user interface user-friendly compared to the initial application."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning is highly scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the smooth integration."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"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."
"Its interface design could be more user-friendly."
"It would be good to have a feature that would ensure that students are the ones performing the given assessment."
"Setting up groups and allocating privacy settings to different groups is quite complicated."
"Moodle is missing a subscription-based system where learners can subscribe to available courses and make the payment for those courses."
"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."
"The ability to input modified, individual, independent grades in a grade center component is not just hard. It almost always requires you to get tech involved. When you're dealing with a learning system where you have people in an open enrollment with all different levels of learning modes or methodologies, and as well as a worldwide student body, you end up with situations where you have to absolutely exempt somebody from a grade or an assignment and enter a new, different kind of assignment because of their skillset or lack thereof. You can't do that in Moodle. It is virtually impossible to do that in Moodle without having a tech do it for you, and when you have to have that level of tech support, it becomes problematic. They need to fix the grade book center. It is the part where you do evaluations. They need to fix it so that the individual professors can make changes directly without having to get a hold of tech support to do it for them."
"The solution should have a more user-friendly dashboard because its current dashboard is not so great."
"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."
"One area I would like to improve in SAP SuccessFactors Learning is the overall user experience and product feedback loop."
"This solution does not support right to left for the Arabic Language, and the Arabic text support is very bad."
"The application integration between cloud and on-premises storage has been completed. However, there is still room for improvement in integrating EC and SAP applications."
"Licensing is a major challenge in the solution."
"The product needs to improve its escalation system."
"The technical support team has room for improvement."
