Overall Satisfaction with Litmos

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Litmos for all of our company training. Litmos gives us a way to deliver eLearning, whether it's a SCORM file, video, assessment, memo, etc. to our entire staff quickly and easily. All reporting is tracked inside of Litmos so we know who completed courses and who still needs to take them.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Houses all training types in one place
Allows us to organize trainings so we can share what is needed with one group, but hide the same content from others
Gives us access to reporting to show what courses have been completed and which ones still need done

Cons

Quick reports don't let us utilize our custom fields when filtering results. It would be helpful to be able to use a quick report, but filter the report using our custom fields.
It would be great to be able to drill down on quick assessment reports. In the area where you see the graph of what questions were correct and which were missed, being able to click on the most missed questions and drill down would be helpful.
The eSignature feature needs the ability to lock people out like an assessment does. Once someone eSigns, there should be no way they can go back in and either re-sign or delete their signature by simply starting over, unless an admin gives permission. Currently, the functionality does not let us lock an eSignature like we can an assessment.

Return on Investment

eLearning is consistent and can train our staff quicker and more efficiently than instructor-led training
We can get memos or compliance trainings out to our staff quickly and have the reporting to show it was completed
Having the ability to share eLearning training and sign up/log into Instructor-led training is beneficial for our organization. We use eLearning in most cases, but having the ability to use the ILT features is also helpful in certain situations.

Alternatives Considered

Knowledge Anywhere LMS and Articulate 360

Litmos has been more robust for us in terms of reporting as well as course organization. We also have the ability to use a subsite (another instance of Litmos) for groups outside of our main organization.

Usability

Litmos is pretty easy to use and provides robust reporting. We can upload a variety of training mediums like SCORM files, video, links, documents, etc. Plus Litmos has built in Assessment tools that we've used quite a bit. It also gives us the ability to use Instructor-led training, when needed.

Implementation Rating

It's been a while since we went through the implementation process, but it was simple. We were able to pull our reporting from our previous vendor and upload it right into Litmos so our staff showed as completed for courses they already took. They were helpful in working with us to get all aspects of the transfer process situated and handled pretty seamlessly.

Other Software Used

Articulate 360, Vyond, Camtasia

Likelihood to Recommend

For us, Litmos does what we need it to do. It houses all of our training in one place and allows us to send it out to our entire staff quickly and easily.

The only area we really struggle is with eSignatures. We use this feature for memos, but instead of using the actual eSignature, we use an assessment because it gives us the ability to lock it after one attempt so that someone doesn't log back in and show that it's no longer signed.
