## Pros and Cons

Accessible training and easy adoption

90% positive reviews out of 1677

Most reviewers indicate training and learning curve is manageable, with flexible tools and centralized resources for educators and students.

Mohamed S

Teacher, 1,001 - 5,000 employees.

"A super easy e-learning platform with all beginners would use to start their online business or career; its user-friendly dashboard does not need to be an expert in creating online lectures, setting students lists or cohorts, grading and even giving feedback."

Outdated and confusing interface

52% negative reviews out of 284

Some reviewers feel user interface is outdated, unintuitive, and difficult for new users to navigate without guidance.

Susmitha C

Senior consultant, 11 - 50 employees.

"Additionally, the interface design could be perceived as less intuitive compared to some other platforms."

Comprehensive learning management features

93% positive reviews out of 234

Most reviewers describe learning management as robust, supporting course creation, assessment, and self-paced training efficiently.

Xuan P

Data Analyst, 51 - 200 employees.

"It's convenient to create and organize course materials for training employees."

Frequent bugs and technical glitches

72% negative reviews out of 261

Most reviewers find bugs and issues disruptive, with crashes, submission failures, and error messages affecting reliability and productivity.

Lindsay K

Flexible open-source customization

98% positive reviews out of 179

Most users report open source enables extensive customization, free access, and strong community support for Moodle.

Sarah C

Independent Contractor and Edtech Expert, 1 employee.

"I like that it's open source, which means I can get it for FREE if I have my own hosting solution. And it's not a cheap, minimal product either - it's a quality learning management system that supports a variety of assignment types with easy grading."

Slow performance and lag issues

81% negative reviews out of 185

Most users report performance and speed suffer during high traffic, causing slow loading, lag, and workflow interruptions.

Mahmut O

Dans sa globalité, c’est un logiciel très performant que j’apprécie beaucoup me permettant d’être plus efficace plus productif avec une belle visibilité sur l’ensemble des échéances des devoirs à rendre, mais aussi des cours qui sont déposés par les Professeurs.

Pros

Excellent outil d’une qualité remarquable, qui permet de gagner un temps fou lors de la gestion de ses cours et lors de la visualisation globale des devoirs et cours à réaliser

Cons

Peut-être des fois des courte latence ou des bugs qui empêchent de finaliser une tache, ce qui peut être parfois embêtant

My overall experience with Moodle has been good. It kept all my course materials, assignments, grades, and announcements in one place, which made it easier for me to stay organized throughout the semester. I liked that I could quickly check deadlines and see updates from my professors without having to use multiple platforms. At the same time, the interface sometimes felt a bit outdated, and the layout changed a lot depending on how each professor set up their course, so navigation wasn’t always consistent. But overall, Moodle helped me manage my classes effectively and stay on top of my academic work

Pros

What I liked most about Moodle was how easy it was to access everything I needed for my courses in one place. I could quickly find lecture slides, assignments, readings, and announcements without having to search through multiple platforms. I also liked that I could track my deadlines and see my grades as soon as professors posted them. Overall, it made staying organized and keeping up with my classes much easier.

Cons

What I liked least about Moodle was that the interface sometimes felt outdated and not very intuitive. Certain pages took a few extra clicks to find, and different professors organized their course pages in completely different ways, which made navigation inconsistent. I also found that notifications weren’t always reliable, so I had to double‑check things manually to make sure I didn’t miss updates or deadlines.

Knowledgable. I learned a lot as a student user once back when I was in college and now as an Administrator.

Pros

The chat/messaging feature. As an admin, I am satisfied with this because I can send a broadcast to all my users.

Cons

I use Moodlecloud. The feature I like the least is the process of creating the performance usage report. I discovered when I first extract that information that there are columns that are not relevant - I want main details such as how many times a user logged in and how long they were logged in and the courses they viewed/attempted, the functions they used the most and all those.

Alternatives considered

[AGORA](https://www.capterra.com/p/265850/AGORA/)

Reasons for choosing Moodle

Because Moodle can be used in low-resource areas of Papua New Guinea.

It has been great to implement it as part of my CoEs to help people to train and have some materials available

Pros

It continues to be a good option to create in-house training, going further than expected, and compared with other platforms

Cons

There are no cons; this is a tool that keeps the required innovation and keeps it simple to use. I don´t think in a scenario to don´t use it

Super cost effective with a huge library of plug in options available, and what feels like huge community support, I would use Moodle more if we build out more LMS for our business. We're not quite there yet, but for a simple set up, it's worked great for us.

Pros

Easy to use and start learning management system that I researched and ultimatley used to build a training environment to teach a workflow process in my business.

Cons

It had a steeper learning curve than some other plug and play learning models, but it was the most cost effective choice for what I wanted to do.

It was utilized by my department for a few quarters but was only used for a short time and replaced by google classroom.

Pros

Very flexible, free Learning Management System that gives plug-in support. Convenient for large online classes.

It has a steep learning curve, outdated interface and in my opinion, required a great deal of support from my IT department.
