Eladio M
CEO
4.0

Eladio M.: Hello, this is Eladio. I work in a producer of online courses. And I'm going to rate Moodle with four out of five stars. I have used many alternatives to Moodle, such as LMS and WordPress with LearnDash and Sensei. Moodle is the more powerful of all of them. I use Moodle because this is the all-in-one solution for e-learning. It has everything: tests, communication with the students. It is the most powerful tool in the market for this. I could give Moodle five star if it was was easier to use it, but the interface is very old, very little intuitive. And that's something they have to improve. If you are starting with Moodle right now, I would recommend that you look for expert advice. It is very tough to configurate, to set up and to put everything in place. So look for help.
