Litmos is a cloud-based Corporate LMS. Core features include a course builder, assessments and quizzes, surveys and feedback, eCommerce, virtual classrooms, certifications, course library, SCORM and TIN CAN support, reporting, and gamification tools.
Using the Brainstorm platform, we are able to provide employees with quick and instant training on pretty much everything Microsoft 365. The video training is perfect for the workforce: it's timely, precise, and very thorough. If we were to hire trainers to build and deliver all specific MS product training, it would not be cost-effective. The value of Brainstorm shines through from the aspects of productivity training. What is not much talked about is the time and cost savings associated with self-education. Users of the platform can uncover product use tips and tricks without contacting the company's help center or bothering to ask another co-worker for help. The Brainstorm platform provides courses that greatly improve the user's MS product line experience.
Litmos is greatly suited for delivering courses that have a timeline or where the content needs to be consumed in its entirety, and for tracking and validating the completion of that content by users. It is well suited for microlearning and quick and effective course creation and learner testing. Litmos is less suited for creating courses where pages are linked together or for quick reference content which might be better served by a knowledge base.
I generally feel that any challenges I experience are due to the vast flexibility the platform has. My gut tells me that my minor issues are actually a result of certain functionality needing to be there to meet the needs of other customers, and it's not Litmos' fault that my specific workflow doesn't fit exactly into their functionality. It's a matter of me determining how I can update my workflow to fit the feature set.
For what we need in the very near future, Litmos does not offer us the required capability. Ideally, we are looking for an integrated LMS, coaching, mobile support and content creation platform. Litmos may have the LMS part covered but there are other platforms that do this better along with providing an integrated all-in-one service or at the very least support API integration with other vendors to meet our requirements.
If I could give it a negative rating I would. Worst support from any program I have had. Everything is back and forth in the support ticket. The one time I tried to chat they could not support the question. Their support page is so full of sections and products I can never find anything I need, even with a customized home page. I was hopeful that once they left SAP support might improve but it has not. I don't even know who my account executive is. Nobody has ever reached out to me. I need someone to guide me through best practices for our company and there is nobody to do that.
It was a good overview of the platform, but of course it was more of a basic overview of how to use the platform. The team provided a good training, but I would of liked a better deep dive into some of the features.
Some of the best online training I've taken from any LMS platform. It was well put together and kept me engaged the entire time. It has a good amount of HR Compliance mixed with soft skills training that the team liked. Overall, it has a robust online suite of training that any company can use.
We have done two implementations. The first wasn't completed by me, but the second was. I had to do a lot of data migration across from the first system into the new instance. This was really time-consuming, and it would have been great to have had an option for someone else to have completed this for us. Learning about the tool has also been up to us, and whilst the content was good, it was also high level and broad, and then getting into the specifics of our setup was really just left to us to complete on our own and have a go. We got there, but probably could have been faster with some additional support from a consultant.
Brainstorm is just a better enterprise training system compared to other MS-365 training applications on the market. BrainStorm QuickHelp includes reliability and ease of use already built into the system which is very user-friendly. Speaking of the training tools, they are formatted in a huge variety of deliverable media that the end user will feel comfortable with: PDF, video, live event, group learning forums, et. Learners can forge their own path and set up their own learning schedule on their own time. These customized paths can be perfectly tailored for each user's needs. Honestly, Brainstorm Quickhelp just makes it easy.
Litmos has been more robust for us in terms of reporting as well as course organization. We also have the ability to use a subsite (another instance of Litmos) for groups outside of our main organization.
Pretty easy to scale this LMS and can be deployed companywide in all departments for us. The team's function allows you build separate teams that can easily be assigned specific courses, so it makes it much easier to deploy
