Jenzabar ONE vs. WizIQ LMS

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.

They have to try out within their own use case scenarios with a sample learner, and test the features of their course and delivery needs. As there is not a content structuring tool, the course author has to have expertise in content and instruction design to create their own materials. The rest is easy to test and check. Test it on all browsers and test the functionality under various internet service speeds.

• WizIQ virtual classroom offers an Interactive whiteboard, Screen Sharing, youtube video play, media content upload option.
• Class Recording in MP4
• It provides you with a wonderful experience of a Virtual classroom with better Audio and Video streaming.
• The platform offers courses feature where users can create a paid course, enroll the student in a course and earn.
• Search functionality to find courses/classes from the list
• 24*7 after sales customer service
• Supported languages for the virtual classroom: English, Arabic, Spanish, Czech, French, Greek, German, Turkish, Hindi
• It provides a Virtual Classroom integration option with Moodle, WordPress, Joomla, Java, PHP, .NET websites.

• 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

• Although all are good but WizIQ needs to improve in these fields...It goes offline once in a while which is a headache as it needs to be constantly managed and needs to be kept under observation all the time.
• It is better for less userbase management as its browser platform is not stable for a larger number of participants.
• We need to manage each online department separately.
• Audio sound needs to be more clear.

I need to overcome some of the important limitations which have been pending for more than 6 months indicating inability of the vendor or lack of clarity among the development team about what we want and how it can be done easily on their platform and MySQL at virtually no cost without ending up in a feature modification custom development and cost. Teaching and learning with respect to an Indian scenario is different and needs to be adapted to the local needs and realities.

My overall experience using Jenzabar One for student housing has been very productive. The system provides a centralized platform where I can manage room assignments, monitor occupancy, and access important student information quickly. Its integration with other campus modules makes it easy to verify enrollment, confirm eligibility, and coordinate with departments such as Admissions, Financial Aid, and the Registrar. Having all of this information in one place streamlines daily housing operations and supports efficient decision-making. Overall, Jenzabar One has been a reliable tool that helps me stay organized and effectively manage the student housing process.

I have understood and used most of it by now after 6-7 months of exploration and use. Though there are small glitches that could be easily resolved by WizIQ, I feel comfortable to handle the product by now. However, clients find it a challenge to explore and do not wish to spend time to learn

It has been very good till date.

I have not experienced any of these issues as yet.

Never contacted support before.

Very responsive and accommodating during the sales period, then totally unhelpful, rude and dismissive when you are unhappy with the product. Now ignoring my messages.

It was remote and not in-person.

It was a product presentation and not a live work through kind of training. I had to remember the presentation from remote and then go about the tool/ builder. It was difficult to handle and I had a lot of doubts and clarifications to address in my initial rounds of launching my courses.

I have developed my own expertise and that is for sale to my clients as a part of my consulting services. I have much to share for assignment and assessment models, course design aspects and mentoring aspects as this is a remote self paced service. If the courses are live and managed still there needs to be mentoring and support to help the learner.

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.

I selected WizIQ because I used them when I subscribed for org.wiziq for nearly 10 years. It was firstly trusting in their technical support system in place and their new plug-in. Other products that are available for free or a nominal amount, e.g. Zoom and Google Meet are way better in their performance and features in my opinion.

Seems pretty good to me as of now. Of course there are usage slabs and commercials to handle before scaling up.

• Implementing the new admissions portal has led to a 12% increase in enrollment as we were able to spend time directly working with students with how it automated previously manual tasks.

• By using the WizIQ our team has launched more than 130 courses for internal staff capacity building.
• We also monitor which learner is doing well in the overall assigned courses.
• Created a list of courses which help everyone who is new to the organization.
