Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Moodle to chat across the company from manager to employee. We use it to post newsletters and other articles that our company is mentioned in. We also try to use it to complete tasks and have constant updates as to what people are doing with the certain tasks they are assigned and working on. It is definitely a useful too that we try to use as often as we can. It is a great tool for communication from the bottom of the company all the way to the CEO for him to address his employees. It is being used across our entire organization. It really makes it easy to address fellow colleagues pretty easily, whether its HR memos or news articles. It is a great application and I definitely recommend using this platform not just at work but in other aspects as well.

Alternatives Considered

Freshsales

It is hard to compare them with each other as they are so different. They really can't compare as they are two completely different platforms. But Moodle is great in all aspects, I like Slack for communication as well. But when it comes to tasks, Moodle handles it better than anyone else. I love that it is open for input.

Support Rating

I give it this rating because it is good but I think it could be easier to use and have more tutorials. I really like the functionality of the platform and all of the different things you can do across the board. But there are a couple of things that I think could make it a little easier for new users to master and make it easier for them. There is a learning curve for using Moodle and it does take some time to get used to it. Once you do there are plenty of different aspects that you can use this platform for.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is great for communication and keeping up with colleagues and what tasks they are handling. We use it to communicate from the bottom of the company all the way to the top. It is one of the tools we try to use the most besides for our CRM. It is a great open-source product that I recommend most companies use. I can't think of a scenario where it is not appropriate to use Moodle.

Moodle for the win!
