    iSpring Market is suited for small organizations with limited staff and limited IT resources. Allowing users to self-register is a huge time-saver for small organizations. SEO, Google Tag Manager and SSO are included and easy to set up. For the most part, the documentation is good and the help desk provides timely customer service. iSpring Market is not the best tool for larger and more sophisticated organization. It's extremely difficult to get global reporting data, it doesn't import data from other systems, and it only exports a limited amount of data for use in other applications such as business intelligence software.

    Its a very flexible system so can be used in pretty much any scenario. The only time someone would perhaps not want to use it, is if they don't want to be responsible for maintaining the site (in terms of Wordpress backups, updates and security)

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • There are few global reporting features. I can get specific information on a user or a course, but there is no easy way to find users who made an account and didn't enroll in a course. You have to look at every user, or download spreadsheets and search.
    • There are very few hooks available to Zapier to transfer data to other services.
    • You can't transfer data into the iSpring Market using Zapier, so we can't use our member management system to populate courses.

    • customer service is rough
    • out of the box, the platform looks absolutely awful and very hard to use
    • you have to invest in many plugins for common sense functions (increasing customer support issues)
    • I have worked with a developer for the ten years I have used LearnDash which gets expensive

    It does require some knowledge of Wordpdress (which isn't difficult) but everything is well laid out Documentation is also comprehensive.

    • We have saved thousands of dollars a year in licensing fees compared with other products we used.
    • We have eliminated the need for contractors, to build content for iSpring Market, saving tens of thousands of dollars, because we can publish directly into the system using iSpring Suite.
    • We get 80% fewer help desk requests for enrollment and payment compared to the last two products we used.

    • It has allowed me to transform materials that were previously only for my students into scalable digital products, multiplying the income generated with certain resources by up to 50x.
    • I have been able to amortize the cost of the plugin with just a few sales.
    • It's allowed me to present my courses in a professional manner and on my own website. Although the impact is difficult to measure, this has also contributed to increasing my sales.
