Though this was a lengthy process on my own company's end (approx. 12 months), our representative Mary Beth was nothing short of amazing as she remained patient, supportive, and enthusiastic.

We have been using the Accord LMS for several years and experience with it has been fantastic. Arguably the best Dotnetnuke LMS out there.

I knew nothing about LMS management when I first started. I have found Accord very easy to learn and have especially been impressed with the great customer service I have received.

Learning and Performance Improvement Manager

Accord offers a customizable LMS for an affordable price. They provide supportive, friendly customer service and remain interested in meeting your needs throughout the development process.

Marketing Manager

Their customer service and support is top notch; their employees are extremely friendly, nice, helpful, and timely in their communications.

Consultant

The administration is easy, customization is good, and the customer service is excellent. The eCommerce piece is robust and the system allows for multiple portals sharing courses from master to child.

Accord was very responsive to our needs and quickly resolved any issues that came up. We needed a system that was easy to implement and use by us and our clients and they have come up with a winner.

Manager of Education

I like how we set up learning elements and courses. It is easy to use and learn and the customer support is responsive and resolves any issues in a timely manner.

Training Manager

Accord provides good value for its cost and has responsive and friendly customer support.

Web Design / ISD

The support team behind this product is outstanding. When we needed assistance , it was provided immediately and professionally.

Accord LMS is a very affordable LMS system with great functionality and intuitiveness. It worked out very well for my company's more unconventional use of the system as well.

Vice President

The ability to customize the look and feel of the client interface is great and having Interzoic Media as a partner is a plus.

LMS Administrator

It supports a lot of files formats for both documents and video. Integration with GoToMeeting, GoToTraining, and GoToWebinar is a worthy addition.

A pop-up window opens when using a desktop and it is a bit annoying.

Lead Technical Trainer

The biggest deal-breaker for us was the inability to book many conference rooms across our firm for one single event.

It would be nice to have Zooma as an option. Integration is seamless depending on the configuration you choose.

Instructional Designer

Very difficult to figure out how everything works. Despite having a lot of functions, sometimes you can spend hours doing basic things.

IT Director

I wish for only one add on, a drag and drop interface.

Thought Industries

My company first began our investigation into various Learning Management Systems a little over a year ago.  After an initial introduction to Accord through Capterra, we quickly narrowed down our selections.  Accord LMS remained our number one choice until we were ready to finalize the purchase.  Though this was a lengthy process on my own company's end (approx. 12 months), our representative Mary Beth was nothing short of amazing as she remained patient, supportive, and enthusiastic.  Mary Beth was always on hand to provide updates, answer questions, and consistently connect us to Solutions Engineers to provide insight into features of Accord that best benefited our company.  We have been using Accord now for 6 months and have no complaints.  Accord ranks #1 in support, price, and functionality in the world of LMS!  Many thanks for the continued support!

Accord LMS: Flexible, Valuable and Reliable.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a thorough review. I'll pass your comments onto the entire team. Our price increase in January 2016 was the first in 4 years. For our hosted accounts, which include maintenance, it was only a modest increase. Our self-hosted customers did experience a more substantial increase. This reflects the additional support requirements that factor into most on-premise installations such as client server access, configuration, updates, etc. This may be why most of our competitors do not offer self hosted systems. I'm confident that you will still find the Accord LMS to be the best deal around.

We inherited Accord LMS when we merged with our sister company. Even though we asked, we never received the onboarding experience you would normally get when implementing a new system. Accord LMS worked for our employees and customers however, the experience did not keep up with end-user expectations.

Accord LMS - Minor league player trying to play in the majors.

Hi Riyaz,

Thanks for your feedback.  We genuinely appreciate it.  Your positive review of our account management team reflects the feedback we get from most clients.  We think that they're the best.

Your feedback on our documentation was insightful.  We are currently in the process of updating our online manuals and dozens of support and training videos to be both easier to follow and more integrated with the product itself.

I'm sorry that you weren't able to get all of the customizations that you were looking for.  As an LCMS, the Accord solution is among the most configurable platforms available, but some things can be more challenging or even out of the system's scope.  It's our goal to provide our clients with the best LMS experience for their unique needs.  It sounds like we might not have remained the right fit for you after your mergers.  We hope that you found the best solution for your training priorities.

Thanks again,
Accord Product Team

In-house training has significantly improved as well as for our external clients. Overall performance is good. Functionality is almost perfect. UI needs to be updated.

Accord LMS - Administrator review

The Accord LMS system has been a very useful tool in creating a structured learning environment that our users can easily follow. I recommend it highly to anyone who wishes to have their own online school.

As with any product, there are some preliminary concepts to learn, and once learnt, it became an easy to use and very flexible product. The account manager assigned to us provided excellent training and has always answered any questions we had. Their Tech Support also responded with answers quickly. This LMS is suited to our needs because we do not need the large amount of licenses some other vendors require as a minimum to get started. It is a very cost effective LMS.

Wonderfully Flexible LMS

Our company has been using the Accord LMS for 1 year now.  Along the way, Accord Staff Members have been there to help us through the initial set up and troubleshooting stages.  We have recently started using it within our whole organization and the end users are giving great feedback.  It is user friendly. It allows us to give learners the opportunity to have a visual learning experience instead of just a  process document to read over.  

Great Customer Service!

We researched more than a few LMS's and the Accord LMS was a perfect blend of features and value for the money.  We have been using the Accord LMS for several years and experience with it has been fantastic.  Arguably the best Dotnetnuke LMS out there.  It simply just works and is very easy to setup and configure.  The ability to customize the look and feel of the client interface is great and having Interzoic Media as a partner is a plus.  We are a very customer oriented company and to work with a company that feels the same way is such a benefit.  We have been very happy with both the product and service.

Accord LMS - a great LMS solution for Dotnetnuke

We have been using Accord LMS for about a year now. I knew nothing about LMS management when I first started. I have found Accord very easy to learn and have especially been impressed with the great customer service I have received. They have been willing to help me out and make sure the program was meeting our needs at every turn. I highly recommend this LMS for anyone starting from scratch.

Accord LMS Review

We purchased Accord LMS to support and manage the training of staff on a large project in Latin America. Accord LMS was competitively priced and offered capabilities that other companies did not.

Affordable and Customizable LMS

We are still in the implementation phase with Accord and the support has been top-notch. Accord offers many features at a very reasonable cost.  The Accord system included everything we were looking for in the way of features such as branding and customization capability, ease of administration, certification tracking, ILT support, virtual classroom, extended enterprise capability, a strong compliance aspect, resource upload ease, a community aspect, gamification and so much more--right out of the box!  After months of research, and several months of actually using the Accord system, I would highly recommend Accord to any company looking to implement a new Learning Management System.

I am very impressed with the robust Accord LMS

Thank you!  Our team prides itself on providing excellent guidance and support during implementation. We appreciate your kind words.

I have been using the Accord LMS for almost a year.   I am the administrator of the LMS and charged with adding and maintaining content and learner access. It was very easy to set-up and maintain.  Support has been excellent with very fast responses to any question, big or small.
I compared several other LMS providers and selected Accord LMS based on functionality, easy of use, support and pricing.
My experience with Accord LMS to date has been excellent.

Accord LMS - My first choice

Thanks for your feedback.  I really appreciate it.  I'm going to check with our team and get some more information on the reports that they helped you create.  Please reach out to your support rep should you need any additional assistance.

Really good customer service, good value for money

Thank you for taking time to review the Accord LMS.  We appreciate your compliments about our customer service team.  We think that they're the best.

Accord understands the learning curve that can come  with so much available functionality.  We're putting considerable effort into mitigating that.  I'll ask our team to reach out to you and offer a free upgrade to our newest release which simplifies some core functionality.  

Respectfully,
Accord LMS

We reviewed this LMS along with four other systems. Accord was very competitive with Cornerstone in many features, but lacked in some very important ways. One of the features we found lacking is the ability to book several classrooms at once in multiple offices and have them act as one event. We do a lot of firm wide instruction and need to be able to book one event in many locations. The people at Accord said they would work on that feature if we would pay for it. That was not acceptable.

Accord - Nearly there, but not quite

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for taking a few minutes to share your experience.  I'm sorry that there was some confusion about our functionality.  Our Instructor Led Training does support an unlimited number of sessions which can occur in many locations, physical or virtual, all at the same time.

It sounds like our team offered to do some custom development in order to customize the feature for your use.  That's a service that we occasionally offer to help customers with unique needs, but it's very seldom needed due to the standard functionality of our system.

Accord's enterprise customers benefit from unlimited custom portals, unlimited distributed administration, and time-saving automation.  Our features are very competitive with other enterprise level systems at a fraction of the cost. If our team can be of assistance in the future, please contact us. 

Best Wishes,
Accord

Good Value and Support Service

Thank you for the review Lam!  Our team has enjoyed working with you as you consistently grow your learning programs with the Accord LMS.

Your Solutions Engineer is in the process of submitting a feature request on your behalf.  We'll run it past the roadmap team and see what we can do.  We're currently working on a number of exciting new features which we also think you'll like.

Thanks again!  We appreciate your business.

Review of Accord LMS

The Accord provides detailed quiz reporting for ALL assessments that provide the information, not just those authored with Articulate. Some assessments, from other authoring tools, do not provide detailed quiz information which makes it impossible for the LMS to report it. Concerning sub-folders, our current version is supporting clients with over 10,000 courses and sub-folders with excellent performance.

Nice for creating lms

I am impressed with Accord's robust LMS

We were using a different system with Articulate products before finding the Accord LMS.  The old system was quite problematic and was unavailable/offline a LOT.  The Accord LMS has so many more features -- gamification, social aspects, as well as a great platform that is easy for the users to navigate -- and is slightly less expensive than our other one.  We are a very small company and use the Accord LMS for our customer elearning platform and our students who have used both the previous LMS and the Accord LMS really LOVE the Accord LMS.

Accord LMS - reliability at a great price

Thanks for your feedback.  I love that Accord LMS gives you the biggest bang for your buck.  We work hard to be the price/performance leader in the industry.  Thanks again!

When they say that Accord LMS is one of the most robust, extensible and cost effective platforms in the LMS industry, you need to listen.
It's true.

Accord LMS - a flexible and affordable LMS with exceptional support

A Solid LMS

Intuitive and accurate

Our company purchased a license through Accord 1 year ago.  It's taken us about that long to get up and running due to all of the conversion of our internal documents.  Along the way, Accord members have checked in with us and helped when needed.  Whenever we have run into a stopping block, they took little to no time to get back with us and help us continue on in our setup and roll out.  Our employees that use the LMS on a regular basis are really enjoying it.  It allows them to see visual demonstrations of a process, where as before they could only read a process document.  

Customer Service is Great!

Thanks for taking the time to write a review.  I'm really pleased that your learners are enjoying their new training.  I hear what you're saying about the administrative tools.  There is a lot there.  We're working on some admin updates (too early to share) that I think you'll like.

I am thrilled with the purchase we've made in Accord LMS.  I looked at a number of providers and found that either the cost or structure of the solution was unrealistic.  Given that we are new to online learning, our use of the many functionalities will increase over time.  The system has been easy to set up and the customer service superb.  I highly recommend Accord LMS.

Flexible Solution that Doesn't Break the Bank

Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review.  I'll share it with the team.
