Overall Satisfaction with TalentLMS

We sell online courses used for continuing education credits for teachers. We also sell a completely different line of courses for parents going through divorce. TalentLMS allows us to create weekly reports for progress, send Certificates for validation of course completion, and it has a good API system that allowed us to create multiple channels for sales of our different products.

Pros

  • The custom reporting feature is really nice.
  • Good email notification system.
  • It is easy to create courses and sell them.

Cons

  • Email notifications have arbitrary limits on what information can be included. For example, you cannot include the user password in any notification email regarding course enrollment, group enrollment, etc.
  • Notification emails are not sent out in a reasonable time frame. Sometimes, it takes over 20 minutes for a new user to get their registration email.
  • It would be nice to get reports in the base domain containing customer user fields from various branches.
  • Very stable platform for our 2000+ monthly users.
  • The price point for our plan was much less than other similar LMS.
  • The API allows for a wide variety of sales channels to be put in place for different product needs.
The support team has been good at helping us, even though we have a relatively complex setup. The only issue is that the time difference means we usually have to wait a business day for responses.
Moving from our old LMS to the new one was relatively simple because we were using SCORM packages, which are easy to move from system to system. Also, the user import feature is relatively straightforward. Finally, they generously gave us a separate "sandbox" domain to use in testing things separately from the main domain so we did not impact live users with our tests.
Out of the box, Talent is easier to use than Learn Dash, which can be quite convoluted to set up, as it requires the integration and configuration of multiple plugins. As a result, we spent a lot less time getting things set up in Talent than LearnDash. Talent was also much less expensive than Litmos.

One of our sales channels is selling tokens created via a third-party custom app. Anyone who registers this token via a different third-party custom app gets enrolled into the Talent course and added to a custom group tied to the token they registered. We can then send regularly scheduled reports on user progress to administrators who purchased the token for their staff.
