As a teacher, I appreciate when a platform I use is very user-friendly and cost effective. I like that JoomlaLMS satisfies my professional needs. I am also very satisfied with the support team because they helped me a lot since my IT skills are not outstanding.
Some things are quite pricey but I still believe you get much more for that value of money.

More and more people are turning to more economical solutions like online training and the younger generations are accustomed to using their computers, technology and the internet for educational purposes. I was fortunate to have connected with someone who was a specialist in the field of online training. He had implemented many Joomla Learning Management software installations and was already consulting...

Although I used its use with different options before, I am using it only for online education for now.
JoomlaLMS is an open source platform and I can customize these codes and modify them according to my own customization needs. JoomlaLMS has an easy and accessible interface for users and is easy to use. JoomlaLMS is a scalable and flexible platform to suit the needs of small and large educational institutions. it was of great interest to me. JoomlaLMS has powerful reporting features, which makes it a lot easier for me. JoomlaLMS offers different training options and helps instructors create online classes, study groups, and course materials.
Because JoomlaLMS is a Joomla application, the configuration and installation process is difficult and not ideal for those with a technical background. Sometimes, JoomlaLMS can cause performance issues, which can cause problems to arise, especially in large educational institutions or classrooms with a lot of students. Why does it have open source code? It has both good and bad sides. And it doesn't offer support options. At the same time, it doesn't have some features that some educational institutions or trainers might need.

After learning it, it did seem somewhat easy to navigate. I was able to learn the basics to get a website up and running in just one day.
It is difficult to show someone else how to maintain the website, as so many features are organized in strange fashions. Also, you have to click many times just to get to one item, and often has very clunky ways to finish up a project. Also, after a while, many links were irreparably broken. I also got multiple emails from Joomla - sometimes every few minutes. That seemed to be a flaw

I administer a moderately sized educational website (instructional material, quizzes, and certificates). It is built on the Joomla platform and we have about 10K users with about 300 actively using the site at any given time. After much research and trail and error, I switched to JoomlaLMS about 8 years ago. Here are reasons why: Cost is a big factor in our operation. If costs are not reasonable,...

Easy for the User to manage Large array of growth options for building out the interface Great CSS control Great options for changing the face of the site anytime you wish Overall, this is a super software and should be used by anyone wanting a presence online Management and updates / upgrades are not difficult but can be time consuming depending on your particular set up Overall, costs for managing this type of interface are very reasonable
I have very little negative to say about this product. It's really a great product. The only thing I can say negative is sometimes the components, modules or plugins are not always supported when they are free so I would recommend buying only licensed products from long time vendors.

I have been working with Joomla LMS for about 4 years know and I can say that they have been instrumental in my company success. My students love my web site and the professional experience they have when they use it. I have asked for several customization and they will get it done. There is nothing they were not able to do to make my business grow. They are great in every way, product, process, and people.
The out of the box product is great and is always improving Customer support is very attentive ready to help at a moments notice Customization are spot on. whatever you need them to create it will get done at a very fair price
None that I can think of. product is working great.

Continuous Learning is essential for any individual as well as for the organization. JoomlaLMS was chosen to house our learning online classes and materials for all employees. Training costs have been reduced, and now we have a centralized portal for learning. Archived classes are easily accessible, and new courses can easily be created and shared as well. Another use case was to use JoomlaLMS for...
I have no reason not to like it. The cost is reasonable and our industry continues to promote learning especially online learning be it a full-blown course work or even atomized mini-lessons for a cumulative certificate collection.

Good free option for creating professional websites and blogs.
Super friendly and modern interface, receives frequent updates including security. It has several free and paid templates to make the look professional. As well as extensions to add features to the website or blog.
The number of themes and extensions available on the web is less than that of its main competitor, wordpress.

We have selected the JoomlaLMS solution for a joint project of the National Corporate Directors Association, Moscow State University and the Corporate Development Centre "Topcompetence" after a thorough analysis of the options available at the LMS market. We also appreciate that considering such a significant functionality the price of the eLearningSoft solutions and services is very attractive. Moreover our decision for the collaboration with eLearningSoft was significantly influenced by the amazing work of the technical support team and customer service department - all the issues are solved quickly and efficiently. To sum it all up JoomlaLMS provides great advanced products and a high level of customer service.
The main advantages of this LMS for us are as follows: 1) Uncluttered and intuitive interface both for students and for teachers and administrators 2) Flexibility of the layout settings for LMS in general and courses in particular 3) Perfect SCORM-compatibility 4) A mobile platform provides a possibility to study not only using PC but also tablets and smartphones 5) Additional plugins can be used inside the LMS, including e.g. a forum for students and teachers and a platform for conducting webinars

We needed a learning platform that integrated with Joomla and Articulate, was simple to use - with the possibility of customisation and work-arounds when that was not possible. We liked the clean simple layout and ease with which students and administrators can find their way around.
In every instance that we had, where customisation was not possible, we were able to find a satisfactory work-around. For example, if students need to sit a final, external exam that is not part of the online training , the results can be manually added via JoomlaLMS. No other moderately-priced programme that we looked at was able to do this. This flexibility make JoomlaLMS far more powerful than is seen at first glance.
There is no user-based forum. Whilst the support is excellent and JoomlaLMS staff are endlessly patient and prompt at answering queries, I do think that the exchange of ideas and work around that users have found could really benefit the community.

The open-source platform of Joomla allows JoomlaLMS to be one of the most competitively priced systems available. It is consistently at the top of the Low Cost LMS options, regardless of delivery of number of users. At the same time, however, Joomla LMS delivers a wide array of features and functions found in much more expensive solutions. Although some features come with added cost. There is a robust...
moderate price for high service level; tool based on Joomla! - powerful content management system with thousands of applications; wide choice of e-learning features; high scalability and unlimited customization opportunities
relatively poor reporting system lack of mobile application

Application provides to you portability, reports by quiz, variety of the questions
Application provides to you portability and permits to the students access to the material from everywhere and every time Reports by quiz was very easy to access and understand, it helps to my advisor identify which topic was the worst for the course Variety of the questions, it provides to my advisor a lot of options and most of them helps with the grading, it permits to save time in the grading process
Cost was so expensive to my advisor and he had to paid it The enrolling for a few students was difficult the course didn't appear online. Was strange

It is a very complete platform that allows you to configure / manage virtual classrooms, providing a good amount of options for your configuration, in which the sections or partitions of the classroom are predetermined and the administrator adapts them to your requirements through its edition and configuration.
I would say that the user should observe the support material provided by this tool which is distributed in a comfortable way through short videos in which they teach the fundamentals of their configuration, since there are so many configurations that we can do that maybe a user inexperienced does not reach to take advantage of all the benefits that this virtual platform offers.

Is not too expensive, easy to setup and run and the UX is friendly. Also the fact that is available cross-platform is also a big plus.
You may need a bit of experience in IT. Some features are not too straight and intuitive so you may need to run the documentation or chat with the support.

I have added about 15 extensions to my Joomla site. JoomlaLMS is near the top for integration, functionality and support.
Deep integration. Excellent support.
Installation can be difficult but their support was top notch. Probably best in the industry.

Most features are fairy intuitive to use and offer a host of options and solutions for cleaning oriented businesses. The design is clean and the approach is very user-friendly. the tea, behind it also are working hard on providing frequent and significant updates that add more features.
Not used as extensively by people as competing products, though that also means special attention is given to customers by the dev team.

I have minimal web development skills but I am able to make simple adjustments to our new website with ease. I am able to add plugins and update blog and job listings. It has made my life much easier to not have to bother our web developers every time I was to post a new blog.
