Adobe Learning Manager Review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

For our company group L&D this is working perfectly. However for an individual business unit it is a complex system to integrate with our business processes and cannot accommodate most of our regulatory processes. For learners the interface is beautiful and perfect, however for administrators having to manage courses, user admin (non-employed) it becomes a problem with licenses as our industry has a high turn-over of resources who are not employed.

Pros

  • User interface
  • Learning paths

Cons

  • Non-Scorm format tests
  • Non-Scorm format courses
  • User administration (external)
  • Development to fit business processes

Return on Investment

  • For our business unit it is expensive compared to other LMS platforms

Adobe Learning Manager Review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I'm not using this one because I'm a reseller, but the main companies that I'm trying to resell, are using it for internal training content that they are providing to their own resources.

Pros

  • I think the way that the tool does the beginning to the end of the path of the training for research. I mean, when I start to use this one, I can check all my life inside the tool about learning.

Cons

  • I think that the license model is not a good one because sometimes it does not fit what the customer is asking us. So I think that should be a little flexible, the license model can be better.

Return on Investment

  • It's the part of the knowledge. It's very important for the company. If you lose one research, you lose the knowledge. So I think that the LMS is something that is really, really good for the company. So the knowledge should be inside the company. That's the best part of the tool.
