You will be happy with the product, product support and service level provided.
Ease of use, and nice look and feel to the end users – both very valuable to us Better customization of reporting inside of Grovo instead of creating outside of the platform at an additional cost. Our organization has been using Grovo for 2 months. Reporting had a few bugs – nothing major. No,…

A highly flexible and customizable learning management system with a wide range of features, providing educators with the tools to create engaging and interactive online courses
Moodle has proven to be highly effective for training and professional development within our organization. It has replaced the traditional practice of sending individuals on courses across the country, offering coast-to-coast accessibility. We've also begun utilizing badges for internal certification, streamlining the process of recognizing achievement. As its usage has expanded, we started with native Moodle on our section and have since extended it to other groups. The integration of third-party plugins or tools has influenced our utilization of Moodle. While we haven't implemented as many filters as we potentially could have, one individual has managed administration duties and the integration of these tools. This individual has also been involved in other areas, dedicating significant time to programming within Moodle for a specific program for one group. This process has spanned several years, demonstrating the commitment required to bring these enhancements to fruition.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I appreciate the flexibility that the new Instructor Led Training offers, and visual graphics for tracking users, etc."
"Ease of use, and nice look and feel to the end users – both very valuable to us."
"Distributing quiz content alongside video and ability to upload documents are the most valuable features."
"Valuable features are customizable learning tracks, and single sign on."
"Customer Service: AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. It's a huge reason why we decided to go with Grovo."
"It is very flexible; it is like a salad bar, you can put anything that you want into Moodle and top it off with whatever you want."
"The most valuable feature is the community. Moodle is a completely open source application and provides a lot of development knowledge. The other features we find valuable are the LTI tools, integrations and BigBlueButton."
"The best thing about Moodle is that it is open source and has many useful plugins. It is a great solution for an organization that needs modifications and customization."
"This is a very cost-effective solution that is intuitive, doesn't require much training, and is easily accessible."
"They have made it really easy for you to see the flow on the forums. The information is well organized and the UI is fairly easy to navigate."
"Moodle allows a lot of flexibility - you can load and create the environment exactly as you like."
"Upgrade feature and git to upgrade the core code - love it."
"Moodle has a vast array of features which are really useful for the work our company does. Moodle hosts the courses through online systems and also offers quizzes and badges which our customers frequently use."
 

Cons

"I look forward to the capability of putting materials in folders by category...as currently the long list of modules is daunting."
"Grouping and assigning trainings. Also, would like another admin layer built into the product."
"Better customization of reporting inside of Grovo instead of creating outside of the platform at an additional cost."
"Bulk video upload is a must."
"I think a lot of the things agreed on or promised in the initial sales discussion are proving to be more difficult or do not work the way we understood them to now that we are in set up mode."
"If you just install it as it is, the user experience will be a disaster if you don't understand what to do."
"Sometimes, the gradebook can get broken if an incorrect formula is entered during creation."
"The biggest area for improvement is the UI. They should also make the navigation simpler to understand. They've recently introduced a new way of having navigation work in Moodle, but they all look very similar."
"The solution architecture could be improved."
"Setting up groups and allocating privacy settings to different groups is quite complicated."
"The solution should have more student-centric details in the modules."
"I also think Moodle lacks sufficiently good architecture to handle a lot of users simultaneously."
"Moodle was not user-friendly, we wanted to use Cornerstone."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"In terms of cost, it is available at no charge."
"Moodle is free. It should probably stay free. There isn't really any support for Moodle unless you pay an astronomical amount, which is weird."
"This particular organization is a relatively small academic institution. It is a single campus, not very big, with 4,500 to 5,000 total students. It is not a big faculty. There are no hard sciences other than undergraduate-level hard sciences. So, Moodle is functional, and it is relatively simple because it is open-source software. It has sub advantages, and it is inexpensive. Small schools with small enrollment numbers just can't afford the more expensive ones."
"Moodle is an open-source solution that is free of cost."
"Moodle have a very robust licensing system that is user friendly. It's not very expensive."
"It is a one-time registration with the Moodle site. There isn't a yearly or monthly fee."
"The licensing cost is quite high and it operates on an annual basis."
"Moodle offer a 14 day free trial and then requires payment."
