Quick and easy administration and reporting. LearnUpon also appear to welcome and act upon client feedback and improve their product accordingly.
Pros
The dashboard! I love when an online resource that has lots of functionality provides a dashboard with quick and easy links to the tasks that you typically perform the most.
Cons
In terms of categorising users, I'd like to be able to archive users so I can only see active employees, but I understand why the software presents all users initially.

The easy-to-use Dashboard make navigation simple.
Pros
Being able to brand our company makes even our newest employees feel like they are rally part of something bigger.

LearnUpon has allowed us to provide options for ILT sessions, taking administration off of the learning team to focus on strategy and design. In addition, LearnUpon puts learning in the hands of the learner!
Pros
This learning system allows for a lot of flexibility in the way it is designed. You are able to setup eLearning, webinars, videos, readings, podcasts / audio, ILT sessions and more!
Cons
Setting up management reporting relationships can be difficult in this system.

(I've worked with the LMS "big guys" too, who keep you on hold for 20 min to answer a simple question and dole out onboarding support by the spoonful -- LearnUpon always makes me feel like I'm one IN a million, never of of the million).
Pros
We're able to maintain our brand presence for clients, meet our organizational goals and our customers' needs effectively -- with little to no compromise on our vision.
Cons
More attention could (and is) being paid to Reporting capabilities.

Customer Service is Awesome - we receive a prompt response to any question from our LearnUpon customer service rep and team, as well as friendly support and assistance throughout implementation of our employee training.
Pros
The LMS is extremely user friendly from the standpoint of creating courses, up-loading and customizing content. Our employee-related user issues have significantly decreased since switching to Learn Upon.
Cons
Can't really think of anything negative - any issues that are raised are immediately addressed.

Excellent Learning Management System with Salesforce integration.
Pros
This software is easy to use and has all the features needed for medium-sized business to implement a learning management system.
Cons
The pricing was a bit prohibitive, and with our client we decided to choose a free option. After that our client plans to return to LearnUpon - after they battle-test everything and decide which features they really need.

Our training can be done remotely and without very little help from us for setup and use. Keeps the trainee more interested in learning. Less worry about having to redo old PowerPoint Slides and other documents Constantly.
Pros
I like how easy it is to cost, setup, management, ease of use, branding per company and remote connection from anywhere you have an internet connection.
Cons
We had to buy a 3rd party app to product content because it LearnUpon does not support certain file types or editing.

The implementation was simple and live within 3 days. The UI is clean, intuitive and allows both users and administrators to focus on receiving and delivering content rather than figuring out how to navigate the system.
Pros
Simple, clean UI Intuitive Unlimited and timely customer support Cost effective Progressive development (takes on customer feedback to make decisions on new features) SSO integration
Cons
One or two features which would have been useful (eg integration with webex tools) but this is now on the roadmap

Recommendations to others considering LearnUpon LMS
I would definitely recommend LearnUpon - quick, easy, simple to use and highly effective at delivering your training content
We use LearnUpon to provide direct access to our eLearning to end-users and we also provide our larger clients with a branded portal on the system so they can administer and manage their staff's access to our eLearning courses.
Pros
Great customer portal functionality, with really smart branding and white labeling options Intuitive, versatile, smart and affordable.
Cons
None. It does everything we need it to do and more. Our eLearning courses are relatively short (60-90 mins). I therefore cannot speak for how well it would work with heavier courses, although I see no reason why it wouldn't be just as good.
100% recommended. I really can't speak highly enough. For our education clients to be using this rather than their own moodle environment speaks volumes to me. Can't recommend it enough
Pros
The ability to add custom data fields for mass importing saves so much time as we can sync reports with our customers standard systems.
Cons
None as yet I would like to see standardised API outputs and I know that this is on the development plan for 2-13
Rating breakdown
Easiest LMS I have used to implement and manage.
Pros
The SAML SSO integration was fairly easy and support was very attentive.
Cons
I have noticed a few issues where users are enrolled in learning paths or courses and their dashboard will not display the content.

I highly recommend LearnUpon to any training company serious about providing its customers with a superb eLearning experience. We invested heavily in developing stunning eLearning content and needed an LMS to match. After six months of trialing countless different systems I was losing hope of finding one, then I discovered LearnUpon and haven't looked back. I don't feel like I have just bought a product, I feel like I have entered into a partnership with a highly skilled, ambitious and professional team of LMS experts. They're a young, vibrant, ambitious team who definitely put their customers at the very centre of what they do. They understand that their customers aren't buying a system, they're buying a means for taking their eLearning products to market. I believe that you can only be as good as your worst supplier - since adopting the LearnUpon LMS our customers and their learners have gained much added value and overall a superb eLearning experience.
Pros
Great customer portal functionality, with really smart branding and white labeling options that impress our clients and are easy to configure.
Cons
I asked myself the question 'will they still be around in 5 years time?'. After some research, trialing the system and speaking with them I was left very comfortable in tying our future to theirs.
Rating breakdown
The customer service is leaps and bounds over any other company I've ever worked with.
Pros
It was really simple to jump in and start setting up our portal and when we got hung up they offer tons of resources to help you out.
Cons
The certificates are a little wonky, but I've been assured they are working on an update for this feature.

We needed and LMS that would host on a reliable server they maintain, integrate with Salesforce easily, and not break the bank.
Pros
The team actually listens to upgrade requests and bug reports. I know, because I see solutions implemented.
Cons
They do not offer an integrated Learning Record Store, so I haven't had the opportunity to use my xAPI data as robustly as I would like.

Overall : When starting up an online education business, finding the right Learning Management System is the crucial first step.
Because our company works remotely from one another, it's been great to use an easy system like LearnUpon that doesn't require us to all be in the same room.
Pros
I've used a few different Learning Management Systems before, and this one is the most intuitive.
Cons
Getting up-to-speed on any LMS is tough. Just learning where everything is and how to make edits when you're in the middle of selling and building the next course.

We were using an enterprise LMS that was fully customizable, but VERY expensive, and not at all user-friendly.
An excellent addition to the business that has freed up staff time for coaching activities, streamlined the training function and enabled us to deliver a more comprehensive supported learning pathway for a remotely based network of staff.
Pros
It is quick and easy to develop content without the need for complex software and programmers.
Cons
There isn’t anything we don’t like. More tools to help non developers create interactive courses would always be helpful in future developments to help us keep creating. One observation, the current pricing could divert small businesses from dipping their toe which would be a shame given they are the businesses that can most benefit from such a user friendly tool that doesn’t require an army of expensive developers, programmers and in-house computer experts.

Solid, reliable, user-friendly software, a team that truly listens to their customers and makes changes based on that listening, and excellent customer service. I can't ask for much more than that!
Pros
And, to make things even better their customer service is fantastic (think Ritz Carlton customer service).
Cons
The thing I liked (past tense) least is the customer experience when a customer had a login in on another portal in the larger LearnUpon ecosystem and then would sign up for our courses.

Recommendations to others considering LearnUpon LMS
Check it is compatible with your internet explorer and go with a provider that offers a monthly subscription
Pros
I can't say enough about the quality of service LearnUpon provides to its customers.
Cons
We depend on learners' self-motivation to continue learning, so we would value more features (such as social sharing) that help users stay engaged with the platform.
