I believe it as very good solution for complex projects with a big amount of courses and ILT activities to manage and control. It can work specially well in companies where learning management is decentralized through divisions and/or departments. It is complete in terms of functionalities and possibilities, what makes the platform a bit complex. It may not be the best choice for simple projects, because sometimes it can be hard-to-use for administrators, since it is actually a robust solution.
