Jenzabar ONE vs. LearnDash

Jenzabar ONE is strongly suited for an all-in one solution for higher ed. The modern web-based platform make it efficient for end users. An institution that wants a full communication platform to connect with students, Jenzabar is the right product for your school. As with any product, development with Jenzabar One continues which is a good thing but also may cause some schools to want more features more quickly.

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)

• the Help system does not always correlate to the current version, so updating that with each update would be very helpful
• a method to test users' permission would be very helpful
• it is sometimes tricky trying to figure out which functions to assign to users, so making that process more clear would be great

• 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 makes work easier because everything is in one place. Works well once staff is fully trained. Good for connecting all departments so students can be serviced to the best of our abilities. It's a very strong system overall that isn't always the easiest to learn at first, but once you learn, you'll take nothing else for it.

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

Never contacted support before.

Jenzabar ONE has 90% of the capabilities of of its competitors, and a price point significantly below those products. Both Banner and PeopleSoft provide capabilities that exceed what we need. Paying for those additional features is not cost effective. In short, Jenzabar ONE does nearly everything we need, and both Banner and PeopleSoft only offer extra capabilities we will not use.
