CYPHER Learning vs Acadle: Which is a better fit?

Kierra G: Hi, my name is Kierra, and I'm the director of an online music school. We serve kids ages four through 18, and we're a company of 15 to 30 people. Out of five stars, I give CYPHER Learning four. CYPHER is our first LMS that we actually went with, but we looked into Schoolology, and we looked into Google Classroom, but they just didn't have the look that we needed for our school. We decided to go with CYPHER Learning really for, okay, it was a number of things. First was the aesthetic. We love the educational vibe that it had. Then second was just all of the features that it had, with the gradebook and tracking, being able to create your own courses, and now with AI, the AI-assisted course creation, which is very helpful, but really, it was just the look of it was more so what we were looking for. Schoolology and Google Classroom, they have similar functionality, but it's just the look, it just wasn't really what we were looking for. Then, of course, all the features, with AI being able to assist in course creation, because we are about creating self-paced courses, it just really is really helpful. Integrating CYPHER Learning was relatively easy. Anyone can do it, but there is a slight learning curve when it comes to customization of features, but it is really simple. We have a tech person on our team, so they were able to walk us through what was needed and what needed to happen. I would say, if you don't have a tech person on your team, if your team is smaller, you will be able to figure it out. It's not too complicated to where you need that point person, but it is a bit of a learning curve if you're not used to having to go through customization features. For those of you who are considering CYPHER Learning for your business, I would highly recommend it. I would just make sure that your audience and your target market is suitable for their aesthetics. It's great for the older learner, adult learner, collegiate learner. I would say the youngest, maybe middle, high school. That's one of the cons about it for us is we serve younger and older students. For our younger students, the aesthetic isn't as lively and bubbly for that age group, but it's great for our older kids. They love it. We've had to really use all of the customization features we can to get it for the younger age group. If you serve older learners, then I think it's great. I think it's really simple to use once you, it is a learning curve at first, especially if you're not used to an LMS, but once you get how they have their system laid out, it's pretty simple to use. Then their tech support is also pretty spot on.

Miguel D.: Hi, I am Miguel. I'm a Sales Manager for a trading company and I give Acadle 4 out of 5. Before I use Acadle, I was using mostly WordPress solutions and sometimes it's very hard to manage WordPress because you have to take care of many things. But Acadle is amazing because everything is online on the platform already. So once I found Acadle, I went to try the demo and it was very easy for the users to log in, to follow up, to go to the next topics, to do the test, the quizzes. Then I create an account for free to try, and it was the easiest thing to create an academy. I have tried many times and this was really easy and there is something very important that you can upload your own videos there. So you don't need to have a third party or another place to hold your videos. The very nice part about Acadle is that when we wanted to start implementing to the team, it was really easy because it's so easy to use that we managed, we put the team together and they also started creating their own courses. They were able to upload their documents, PDFs, videos, so for everyone was so easy. And also, if we wanted to charge for the courses, it was very easy to get the payments done. So in general, probably this is the best part that is very easy to use. For me, that I know about technology, but even for people who do not know too much about, this is a great solution. If you are considering to get your online academy, I definitely tell you that you should have a look in Acadle because as I say before, it's very easy to use. If you have people also creating courses together, it's going to be very easy for them and for the users the whole experience is quite good and it is a very good reporting system, so you can always know what is going on, who is watching your videos, your courses. Plus you have your own hosting video platform inside and now they can even have live courses. You don't need to hire a tech company for online meetings or something. So I really think you should have a look in Acadle.
