iSpring Learn

iSpring learn is a great solution for online learning.

Comentarios: The system underpins my private education business and has been a major driver for success.

Puntos a favor:

Integration with PowerPoint Clean, easy to use interface User self registration Payments system for selling courses.

Contras:

There is not a lot to dislike. It does everything I need. If I had to be very picky I would to be able to alert users to new Courses or to make announcements more easily. At present you can add comments to courses and learning paths, or send individual messages, but this does not alert a user who is not logged in. I can export e-mail addresses and send a mailshot, but this is a bit cumbersome. This is a very minor issue.

Worth The Money!

Comentarios: I worked closely with our sales person to complete the purchase and get everything set up. It was a very simple and quick process.

Puntos a favor:

We searched for 2 years for the perfect software. We landed on iSpring due to the cost and features available for a corporate training environment. This has helped up become more remote, especially in a world with COVID. We have been able to track training and identify areas of improvement and even get more departments on board with the training process. I also love the iSpring takes ideas for improvements.

Contras:

Most features are easy to use, but some of the reporting options do not provide the information needed, so we have to build workarounds in to get what we need.

Razones para cambiar a iSpring Learn: The decision to choose iSpring over the others named was mainly due to the features available for the price. Some of the other companies were extremely expensive and did not offer the features that we received with iSpring.

Good for a single company (in-house) use but poor for managing client or partner training

Puntos a favor:

Ability to have multiple Learning Paths that collate separate courses, and to track users' progress through those Learning Paths.

Contras:

New functionality has only been added piecemeal, presumably where a client has paid for a new feature to match their specific requirements. The new functions then aren't applied across the whole system (since the client didn't pay for that work). The result is a "swiss cheese" of a product, with huge holes. For example, the API doesn't allow you to retrieve attributes that were added in new functionality. The API itself allows you to set and retrieve (limited parts of) individual records, but doesn't let you get access to reports programatically. SSO is all-or-nothing - you have to have the same SSO for all Organizations, which sucks if you're using the same course material in-house as well as externally. And SSO doesn't support the latest standards. Discussion forums are similarly only open to all and can't be limited to Organizations. Presumably both SSO and Discussions were added before some client paid for multiple Organizations to be added. On top of all that, iSpring is actually more expensive than other better multi-org solutions such as TalentLMS.

Very good customer service

Comentarios: Until now, I feel great system to help my job as a flight crew training team manager. Especially, if some problem encountered, agents show up a moment later like Superman-hero.Thank you very much, customer service team!!

Puntos a favor:

Easy to create online course as needed in flight crew training.

Contras:

I guess we can use more of interactions or role-play.

Outstanding Learning Management System

Comentarios: I have used many other types of LMS' and iSpring Learn stands out as top of the line across the board.

Puntos a favor:

Ease of use as well as plenty of documentation and training lesson videos. Additionally, support team is quick to respond and to resolve any issues or questions.

Contras:

Integration of development tools, instead of separate standalone apps.

Alternativas consideradas: Adobe Captivate

Razones para elegir iSpring Learn: Our company outgrew the platform (WordPress) and I needed a solution that a user could complete coursework at an acceptable pace and allow for various managers to have specific access.

Software anterior: LearnDash

Razones para cambiar a iSpring Learn: We started by just having the toolset and I liked developing courses with it so I demo'd the iSpring Learn LMS and it had everything that we needed and room to develop additional types of courses.
