Featured Reviews

reviewer1977519 - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Manager II, Learning operations and multi media at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
Its pricing is competitive, but the auto-assign feature that is most valuable for us hasn't been working for the last year and a half
We have a complex implementation because we have an outsourced population of over 50% of our user base. So, we have a lot of challenges. We have no HCM for user data. We have to create our own custom metadata to manage everything, and there are lots of logistical challenges in terms of implementation. If you have to go through and create a custom metadata system, as we did, and stand up all these other systems, it would take three to six months. If you have a human capital management system that's ready to go and you have all your data in the right segments and whatnot, it could be done in one to three months. In terms of maintenance, we recently re-scoped this to where we have one person that oversees the LMS as a whole, and then we have two administrators that carry out the tactical task, such as auto enrollments, user creations, and all other audit components. We also have a rotational employee that does audits on the LMS to make sure everything is working correctly.

Facilitates professional development with comprehensive assessments and customizable learning materials
Pluralsight has something called Technology Quotient, TQ, which includes very good sessions. What's noteworthy is that, if I am unable to answer any question during an assessment, it shows which part of the video covers the answer. This makes it convenient as I don't have to search through the entire video. Additionally, the assessments are quite good, providing valuable feedback on areas that may require improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"As a user and administrator, I think Content Author is valuable because it removes the need for a third-party solution to create content in the best way possible."
"Its pricing is good, and its performance is good when it works."
"This is a very scalable solution, as we had over 10,000 students in our instance and their billing model makes scaling affordable to do."
"The pricing is really good; its pricing is probably the most competitive I've seen for an LMS."
"Content Author removes the need for a third-party solution for content creation."
"It's a viable option because LMS would entail a significant amount of support and maintenance, while this solution could be completed and understood in a week, with very little maintenance required."
"Its user interface is quite good, the platform is quite user-friendly, and the UI/UX of the platform is very advanced, which helps in getting the users interested in the training."
"Litmos has an excellent user interface, it's well designed and intuitive, and it also has a great content engine."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"The value is good because Pluralsight provides a common platform for all learning materials and is customizable to organizations' needs."
"We find the courses with high ratings and popularity to be most valuable. If the content is applicable, we encourage team members to use it. Regarding skill assessment, I haven't used that feature much, but we've done a few trainings with evaluations, which have been helpful for learning."
"We are happy with the tool's skill assessment. It helps with skill enhancement, competency, and company development."
"The value is good because Pluralsight provides a common platform for all learning materials and is customizable to organizations' needs."
"The entire curriculum needs to be systematically organized into sections, allowing for a seamless resumption of learning."
"The fact that I could pause the training and restart another day was convenient."
 

Cons

"Lacks a variety of language options."
"The security of the SAP Litmos is not up to the standard of the organizations because if you are hosting your content in SAP Litmos or any other LMS, then one of the major concerns for the company is to secure their training data to prevent the student from copying it."
"You cannot make a course optional, so if I assign a course to someone, the system assumes that they have to complete it."
"The dashboards for this solution could be improved as they are not of the same standard and detail as those seen in Power BI. The graphics for the reporting could also be improved."
"The reporting function of SAP Litmos needs major improvements. The reports are not at par with other solutions on the market. It's not user-friendly or effective reporting which we can retrieve from other places."
"The solution lacks a variety of language options."
"After using this solution for four years, and raising our challenges around functionality, we did not see any improvements."
"One feature that a few of my clients have been requesting is CPD. We should be able to capture CPD points for users within the system to be able to report on those."
"I think the assessments in Pluralsight are already good, but it would be helpful if there were explanations for incomplete questions or for which we couldn't provide a proper answer."
"The course quality was not very good for the information systems auditor and risk manager courses."
"The website is not up to date."
"Improving the platform's ability to accommodate user queries would be beneficial for further enhancement."
"The product needs to become mobile-based. The number of courses is less compared to Udemy and Coursera."
"The navigation could be improved to be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution comes at a high price point. We also paid $4500 for a migration specialist from Litmos to assist in moving our content over. You are billed every month based on the number of users who have logged in and completed training."
"I do not have any idea about the licensing, but I know that it is quite expensive."
"It is priced per user license."
"I don't know what the pricing model is at this point in time. I'm a consultant. The organizations that have purchased Litmos engage me to help them implement it, or Litmos engage me to be their external learning management system administrator. So, I don't see the rates, but based on the general comments that I've heard, it seems cost-effective and competitive with its competitors."
"There are three different pricing models. One is only to use the platform and to add your own learning material. The second plan includes the learning management system plus 2000 plus pre built courses on different areas including leadership, software skills, HR and IT related training. The third package allows you to integrate the system with tools such Salesforce or other CRMs."
"When we first purchased our subscription, we underestimated how many people we would have within a billing period. We had to adjust that in the first six months. I can't remember the exact numbers, but they charge a per user rate for a certain number, and you get a discount as the number of users goes up. It scales, which is a fairly reasonable way to build a pricing model."
"If I have a domain and I want to link my custom domain to SAP Litmos, and if I want to remove the branding of the SAP Litmos, then they charge a large amount for it. It's not included in your subscription plan which we have purchased from them. In the last two to three years, we have never bought the custom domain. We have never linked our custom domain to SAP Litmos. The barrier for us is the high pricing. It is not a reasonable price."
"The solution is priced per user which can get expensive."
"We pay for the license every month, subscription-wise."
"The cost is very high for Indian users."
"The tool's licensing costs are annual. It is optimal, neither expensive nor cheap."
