Likelihood to Recommend I am currently using Litmos for customer training, but have also used Litmos with a previous organization to manage internal training. It's so diverse and multi-functional, it is well-suited for both purposes. And it's by far the most user-friendly LMS platform I have ever worked with in my 15 years in corporate Learning & Development. Simple to stand up, fairly easy to administer, with a number of options available to organize data, users, and coursework to best fit your business needs. If you are managing the challenges that come with a lean and mean L&D team, this is absolutely the best platform in the market. The ease of administration combined with the Content Author Tool allows someone with very little LMS or online content development background to successfully create, house and deliver online training to practically any number of learners. The Content Author Tool is, in my mind, likely what truly sets Litmos apart from its competitors. To be able to create engaging and interactive online content without the need for a third-party authoring tool license or training is a game changer.
Read full review Awesome tool for teams looking to gain new skills or refine and update existing skills. I love the convenience of using this tool for recertification credits (i.e. PMP). Instead of identifying which classes I need to take, I can identify my interests and have recommendations presented for what paths I should take. It is a really helpful tool to create ladders for my team to transition from one role into the next. I think this is going to be a really beneficial tool.

Training resources addation by admin and resource access by learners is nefficient and effeftive The availability of badges and reward after completion of the course. Read full review Pluralsight has hundreds of authors that are constantly producing new content, which is valuable for the tech industry that is constantly moving at a brisk pace. Many content authors are respected leaders in the topic they're presenting. You are able to trust that their content is thorough and authentic. Niche expert-level topics are presented in a curated video format which is difficult to find anywhere else. Read full review Cons No easy method for posting recordings of live training sessions Searching is rough — often exact titles are needed Limited options for displaying course information to learners Limited surveying ability across all courses or live trainings 30-day limit in a lot of reports Read full review Companies don't change technologies in their products often. For example a product that was built on AngularJS is still viable and the company may have no plans to upgrade it. Pluralsight could do a better job of providing new courses on technology that's still useful, though somewhat dated; like AngularJS for example. Pluralsight has a bad habit of throwing all their courses in a large bucket. For example, when I log-in and look to see what new I often have to wade through courses on tools that a web artist or designer would use. I wish Pluralsight would categorize course and let us (their customers) flag what types of videos we wanted to see, or better yet exclude from our view. Years ago, Pluralsight would let its customer download the courseware and that was great. I was disappointed when they stopped this feature. I'd love to see more course where the goal is to build a particular type of software. For example, lets have one where you build a blog using ASP.NET and deploy it to Azure. Let have one where you build a survey application, etc. Learning technologies is great, but I'd love to see courses where the goal is to build a particular type of application.

Ideally, we are looking for an integrated LMS, coaching, mobile support and content creation platform. Litmos may have the LMS part covered but there are other platforms that do this better along with providing an integrated all-in-one service or at the very least support API integration with other vendors to meet our requirements.

Read full review Usability Litmos has been quite direct, easy to use, simple to interact, has offered a ton of courses and has implemented video/web conferencing features that have been vital in our organization. Team creation and gamification has birthed positive competion that was much needed. Course creation has also been made easy for our instructors.

Read full review Support Rating If I could give it a negative rating I would. Worst support from any program I have had. Everything is back and forth in the support ticket. The one time I tried to chat they could not support the question. Their support page is so full of sections and products I can never find anything I need, even with a customized home page. I was hopeful that once they left SAP support might improve but it has not. I don't even know who my account executive is. Nobody has ever reached out to me. I need someone to guide me through best practices for our company and there is nobody to do that.

Read full review Online Training I really like the Litmos Dojo and find that it has something for everyone from beginner to advanced.
Read full review Implementation Rating We have done two implementations. The first wasn't completed by me, but the second was. I had to do a lot of data migration across from the first system into the new instance. This was really time-consuming, and it would have been great to have had an option for someone else to have completed this for us. Learning about the tool has also been up to us, and whilst the content was good, it was also high level and broad, and then getting into the specifics of our setup was really just left to us to complete on our own and have a go. We got there, but probably could have been faster with some additional support from a consultant.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Litmos overwhelms
Khan Academy for two main reasons. First, the platform allows more much more customization and integration. This includes the ability to track employee progress and offer employees rewards for completion of tasks. Second, it has more functionality than
Khan Academy . Part of this is likely due to the cost of implementation and the excellent development team of Litmos.
Read full review Before using Pluralsight, staff was using YouTube to help them with developing certain aspects of their knowledge. However, YouTube is much less structured/organized than Pluralsight. Pluralsight has a very wide offering of courses and it has lot of good content. One quick search and we can get started.

Read full review Return on Investment With SAP Content in mind as well, it has significantly reduced our training costs In terms of user issues on the UI or misunderstanding of how the courses inherently operate, it has increased our Admin need It has increased compliance rates with the ability to auto email everyone and provide reporting to the leaders Jen Cowen Learning & Development Business Partner
Read full review One positive impact is it has kept our employees engaged in the material they work with every day. Instead of becoming stagnant and complacent, they are actively searching out ways to develop skills and do more with the tools available to them. It saves money when it comes to offering training and development opportunities company-wide. It would be much more costly to invest in specialized training for that number of employees. One potential negative is the amount of company time spent on coursework over work responsibilities. A balance must be struck and individuals should be encouraged to explore the training on their own time. Read full review ScreenShots
