Overall Satisfaction with Thinkific
I evaluated Thinkific as an online course platform for one of my clients to host their meditations and healing courses.
- The software is relatively easy to use.
- It is fairly restricted when it comes to site development but that is no different from similar competitive offerings.
- More pricing options are provided vis-a-vis competing offerings but only available with higher (and more expensive) plans.
- Most options are available with higher priced plans.
- The biggest negative with the platform is that [in my experience] it offers ZERO SECURITY. A paid subscriber can access the content URL using a simple "View HTML" that can then be shared with anyone. Absolutely anyone.
- [In my experience] with no security, the platform is a NO GO for all except those who are fine with their content being pirated.
- Unfortunately discovered the security issue after four months of site development.
- Probably would be wise to check if this is an issue with other competing online course platforms as well.
