Pros

“The reporting and data export features are also helpful for monitoring course participation and integrating the data into our other internal systems and workflows.”
DC

Daphnie C.

Operations Manager

“We often need to export data or use external tools to track enrollments, analyze course performance, and manage follow-up communications.”
DC

“There is room for improvement in reporting, automation, and integrations, but overall, Thinkific has been a useful and dependable platform for managing our online learning programs.”

Cons

“The assignment deadlines notifications are so delayed, most of the time the notification doesnt even come through the app bit through emails. And the Emails arrive after the deadline passes which causes a big issue of missing the deadline.”

“Also, when I try to add a file and submit it, a lot of time it takes to many clicks to confirm it , I have already missed some deadlines because I forgot 1 of 5 confirms.”

“It took some time to figure out how to set it up on a free hosting platform as an administrator; I had issues with needing more server access than I had for free.”

Cons

“There has been a bug in one of their core features for almost a full month now, and customer service only sends templated responses with no details about when it will be fixed.”
CE

Owner

“Many of their features also don't allow for any customization, and the dashboard is not very easy to navigate.”
CE

Chad E.

Owner

“It is hard to view items and the way they are posted sometimes makes it hard to find what you are looking for.”
