Blackboard Learn vs Litmos: Which is a better fit?

Crystal: Hi. My name is Crystal. I'm an animal control officer and I give Blackboard Learn a four out of five rating. For more reviews like this, click below. The problems that I solve, I use Blackboard Learn for all of my online classes with my university. So, it really helps me incorporate that learning attribute with communication with my peers and my teachers, as well. What I like the most about Blackboard Learn is that it really makes it accessible and easy to take my online studies without having to have huge hoops of communication issues. I can speak directly with my teachers and my peers. What I like least about Blackboard Learn is that it does tend to have some technical issues. So, sometimes the platform will be down, and we won't be able to access our studies and our classes or submit work. And then, you can't communicate with the teacher unless you have their direct email. So, that is kind of complexing. And then you have to reach out to their 1-800 number. So, it tends to be a bit inconveniencing at times.

Jason S.: Hey there. My name's Jason, I am a Learning and Development Specialist. I am giving SAP Litmos a five out of five stars and if you want to see some more reviews like this, click below. Some other products that we were looking at were Cognition, Matrix, Adobe Prime and the reasons why we didn't go with them was, one was cost. The other was, they just weren't very easy to use. They were hard to use on the backend. It was hard to get what we wanted out of it, without actually having to hire somebody to do it, like from Cognitions or from Matrix, because the customization just wasn't there for us to do, without being like a developer within that LMS. One of the reasons why we went with SAP Litmos was because of the customization. You really can customize the layout to almost whatever you want and with a little bit more knowledge and experience, you could really customize Litmos to exactly the way you want. You can even have your own URL. SAP Litmos was so easy to get integrated into the company. We had it up and running within a matter of like a week, I think. And we were able to get users up and on, our courses uploaded real fast, and like I said, the customer service at SAP Litmos is fantastic. So any issues we had, they were quick to jump on, help us out. They really wanted us to get up and running as fast as we wanted to, so they were great. Key things to keep in mind for when you're shopping for an LMS system is really know what you're looking for and know that you need customization in order to have that user really log in and have it look like your web page and your branding, which is what SAP Litmos allows you to do. It gives you that ability to brand and you're also really want to look for something that's easy to use. That's intuitive. You don't want to have people getting lost as they're trying to find courses or trying to learn.
