Great on the user end, backend leaves something to be desired.

My organization uses [Vector] LMS for internal training and compliance on a wide variety of subject matter. It's used organization-wide for things such as information security, HR issues like workplace harassment, etc., but also for department-specific content (i.e. HR interview training, recruiter training, etc.). It solves the problem of reaching the organization and customizing the content so users can do it on their own time at their own pace versus live sessions from a learning and development employee.
- The user interface and command are fairly self-guiding and self-explanatory. It's not that difficult to know or figure out where to go next or what to click next.
- The lesson progression and tracker are clear as well. You know easily where you are in a module, how much is left, etc. It also is easy for managers and those on the backend to track progress and see completion.
- It reaches all employees virtually which is crucial since we are fully remote now and have employees in all time zones across the country.

- I cannot speak to the cost of the platform as I wasn't involved in the process, but it seems to be a good investment. Most features are logical and easy to use unless you're on the backend.
- The negative impact is most felt by leaders that want custom content to be created or uploaded. This is not a quick turnaround and can cause delays or issues.
- The positive impact is it allows people to complete it at their own pace and can be reached by all employees. Especially in the virtual environment, it is really useful.
I was not involved in the selection process for [Vector] LMS; however, from my experiences with other platforms, this one seems to be solid. It's not perfect as no platform is, but it seems to get the job done especially for those on the user end. As mentioned, if you want to upload custom content it can be a task that requires more time and effort than it should.
