TalentLMS vs Google Classroom: Which is a better fit?

Alan C.: My name is Alan. I'm a partner. I use TalentLMS. I give them a five out of five rating. For more views, click below. We chose TalentLMS approximately six years ago. I had reviewed many learning management systems. It's been too long. I can't remember the names. None of them seem to have the package that we needed. TalentLMS clicked I think 95 out of 100 boxes, and so we went with them and have been happy the entire time. We chose Talent for several reasons. The simplicity of the user interface, their service was well-matched to what we needed, and the most important part was we have access to a consultant at Talent. That's just part of the package, and he's been enormously helpful through any... Anything we just could not figure out, he was able to get us there. We did a tutorial that was both video and then one with a live person. That really got us to the point where we could be independent for many of the operations. And then for things that we got stuck on, we had the consultant that was at our disposal and boy, and we'd send an email, we'd get a reply back within 12 hours. It was thorough and it always got us to the next step. If your business is as well matched as ours is to talents services what's offered, it's a win. For anything in the video learning education world, it's probably going to work for you. If it's on a, I can't say about a university basis, it may not be a perfect match for that. But for a small business or a modest, medium-sized business looking at dozens or hundreds of clients, this was a good match.

Ali A.: Hi, I'm Ali. I used Google Classroom for around four years before I stopped being an English teacher. And I have used Google Classroom through public schools, secondary schools and academies as well, English academies. I give Google Classroom five out of five. It make my life easier in a classroom and also online classes. Before Google Classroom, we only used Google Meet, but it was not as a classroom, it was just students coming online and just using their books, and I have my book in front of me and just showing them or guiding them through. But I haven't used any other software or application like Google Classroom. It's the first one that I have used and it really proved to be really, really easy and protective for my work. I chose to use Google Classroom, it became really necessary for me and for my school as well once the pandemic started and during the pandemic, the schools and everything became 100% remote. And the students could not stop studying, obviously, so that's why we had to bring everything to their homes using Google Classroom. And obviously there are other applications which have the same functionality, but in my case, I've used Google Classroom and I did not look for anything else because it was perfect for me and easy to use and I could not have any complaint about it. Right, getting started in Google Classroom. I'm an IT person, my major is in IT informatics, and so it was nothing difficult. Although I had some colleagues would have some questions about how the functions work and everything, but for me, overnight, I figure it out how it works and it was pretty simple to be honest, and it was nothing too complicated. Once I started using, just everything was smooth. If someone would like to start or thinking about using Google Classroom, I would advise, go ahead, obviously, because it made my life easier in the moment I really, really needed. I still use it from now and on, just not regularly as it was before. But someone who would like to start using Google Classroom, I would say, first, discover. You create classrooms and play around a little bit with it because you will learn a lot once you realize how much it can do for you. Creating classrooms, creating assignments, all those things. Because what I like about Google Classroom is it's connected. It's like everything is connected to Google, which is Google Drive is integrated as well, Google Meet, you can integrate in Google Meet as well. It's just everything is there, even the Google Calendar. So when you create classes online or in classrooms, you will see what classrooms are coming. It's just everything is there for you and you cannot miss it. I would say advice will be play around with it and just discover and you'll be grateful with it, seriously.
