Rick K.: I'm Rick, and I am Training and Systems Manager for a company that provides staffing for the hospitality industry. I give iSpring Suite five stars. For more reviews, click below. Prior to using iSpring Suite, the only way that we delivered electronic documents or materials was through our HR program. The issue that led us to look at a learning management system and a content creator like iSpring Suite was expanding our delivery options, especially in light of lack of face-to-face delivery methods. Researched a number of LMSs, and the very first thing I looked at was the mobile functionality. Many of our users, many of our employees would be accessing the content via a mobile device. So I looked at reviews, and iSpring Suite had the highest reviews hands down for the mobile platform. From day one, when I had a sample, which was actually full access to the material, their customer service, customer support folks were excellent in helping any type of setup issues that I needed. Once we went ahead and purchased the product, getting set up was as easy as a few clicks and I was ready to go. There's a couple of things to consider. Number one is the content creator is PowerPoint based. So if that is something that you're familiar with, using PowerPoint, it's an excellent interface. That said, if you want to use something a little bit perhaps more advanced or more robust, that might not be the best way you want to create content. Secondly, the LMS that I use was for a small company, so even though there were tools to be able to onboard large numbers of employees, I never used those tools. I did it all by hand, and that worked quite well, but I would definitely recommend checking out how you could bring in large numbers of folks into the LMS.
