We have used Litmos to fill our need for easily accessible on line training for our users across multiple counties. It has improved our ability to not only manage regulatory and mandatory training, but to manage our staff compliance across the board for all of the positions within our Agency.
Pros
Litmos is both easy and fun to use! In our industry, we work hard and deal with many intense situations on a daily basis. Litmos allows us to offer fun and innovative ways to share information, collaborate with the Discussion forums and have fun with gamification. If we have to learn, it should be fun, effective and not add to the stress of our daily job.
Cons
I would love to see development regarding linking courses together. For example, one online course serves as the initial foundation and is good for one year. After that, they take a refresher course that would satisfy the need for renewal. Currently there is no way to do that. This is critical for our industry. We also need a way to offer the initial course as an ILT, then apply an online course as the refresher.

I'm incredibly disappointed with Litmos. I used it several years ago with a different employer (before SAP) and did not encounter the amount of bugs, challenges that we do now. We had Cornerstone prior and were looking for a simpler, easier to manage system. We traded overwhelming complexity for unreliable simplicity.
Pros
- Easy to add & assign courses
- Easy for learners to access
- Large library of content
Cons
- Reporting is a nightmare and often views on screen show misinformation
- Reporting on Learning Paths is especially challenging
- Managers cannot easily pull clear, accurate reports on their teams
- Very buggy, we submit endless support tickets
- Support tickets are prioritized based on all customers' need
- Expect to go around and around with various levels of support
- Library of training is mostly text with images, not very engaging, the best courses are developed for the UK
- Everything goes on the dashboard and stays until course is completed, meaning users might open a course out of curiosity and it stays on their dashboard, cluttering their view
- It's not obvious to users which courses on their dashboard are mandatory vs. assigned vs. ones they opened out of curiosity
- There is no good way to organize courses beyond categories, you can create different course libraries, but to the user, it all looks like one library
- Our admin spends an inordinate amount of time investigating user issues, on the phone/email with Litmos support and we're hesitant to ever enable new features considering how many issues we have with basic features

I have been thankful to adopt the Litmos LMS with my job last year for many reasons. It is a user friendly platform and our ways of utilizing it are expanding. It's been great growing alongside Litmos. As new features develop, our company needs and ideas coincide almost perfectly. After attending the Litmos C3 Conference last year and learning a ton, I'm excited to see what's in store for this year and unveiling even more ways to utilize the program. My goal is to continue to see more use within our company for internal training purposes with multi-level users. Litmos is making that goal attainable as it expands, listens to feedback from existing customers, and supports users to see the potential in the platform!
Pros
Ability to upload documents, easy to read dashboard, mass management as well as personalized feedback options, account maintenance is easy especially password resets. Leaderboard offers friendly competition and incentive for users. Behind the scenes, it's easy to see where a user is experiencing difficulty or having trouble.
Cons
Integration to SF cannot copy emails or uploaded documents. Sometimes too many emails are sent to users overwhelming them when completing courses. Some customer service reps and account managers are excellent, others do not follow through. Litmos Author information is misleading in terms of what features are possible through the program. Inconsistent limitations on uploading videos, etc., as well as sometimes "glitchy" processing of not saving users' answers, not opening presentations, etc.

We needed a central place to house all of our courses and needed the ability to track who has completed what and where our learners are struggling. Based on the tracking for our support teams we have been able to change our approach and be more inclusive of everyone.
Pros
The simplicity and usability of the learner view makes it easy for them to know what courses to do and what needs completing. Building courses is easy as well and they offer quite a few module course types in addition to that recently there are a lot of great features to automate the the reminders to ensure learners are completing tasks on time.
Cons
Could use some more reporting on the instructor led sessions. In my specific use case I need to report on the number of live sessions we are doing and often requires some excel magic to get what we need. Also would like to see more integration into other virtual platforms other than GotoTraining.
Hi Artem,
Thank you for the great feedback! We are delighted that you have found success using Litmos. I will give our product team your feedback regarding reporting on instructor led sessions and integrating into more virtual platforms. Keep in mind that we update our product often and it will continue to improve with each update. Please reach out if you ever have any questions.
Cheers!
Allison

A learning platform designed for every team, division, and company, Litmos LMS provides a straightforward way for its users to create online courses. The web-based solution is frequently used by trainers to deliver in-house training courses and sell courses to students online. Global brands that use Litmos LMS include YouTube, Samsung, Xero, ExactTarget, and Zumba.
As a hosted training system, Litmos LMS can be setup in-house without any assistance from a developer or IT department. Instead, teachers and trainers are able to build courses, assign them to learners, and track the results through an intuitive user interface. White label solutions are available for organizations that are interested in custom branding, templates, and reporting.
Key features of Litmos LMS include an advanced course builder, assessments and quizzes, surveys, instructional led training (ILT), gamification, and an e-commerce module that helps trainers monetize their courses using pre-packaged features. Checklists, course libraries, reports, and certifications are also available.
A user-friendly learning management system that’s been designed to help organizations save time and money, Litmos LMS is used worldwide by businesses of all sizes. The platform fuels education programs and supports professional teams during periods of growth.
At its core, Litmos LMS is a cloud-based learning management solution that training administrators can rely on to build, manage, and deploy professional looking online courses. These courses can be designed to include a mix of multimedia files, including Flash, audio, and video. They may also include PowerPoint presentations and content created in any SCORM-compliant authoring tool. Litmos LMS’s built-in Assessment & Survey editor measures knowledge and surveys learners to provide administrators with feedback on their courses, as well.
Using the Litmos LMS course builder, training administrators can build their own online courses. Embedded content creation tools support multiple formats. Litmos LMS’s course builder is designed in the same way people think, with three main category types: upload, create, and browse.
Upload your own content from outside Litmos, including any videos, SCORM, or audio files you plan to include in your course. In the Create section, you’ll be able to generate Litmos formatted content, including assessments, ILT, and surveys. Finally, use the Browse section to find and copy content from your account into new courses.
Giving learners a course library provides them with a way to browse, search, and self-enroll in online courses. Learners who click on the course library will be able to see all the courses they have access to, including courses they have already completed. Learners should also be able to sign-up for additional online courses from within the course library.
As the training administrator, you have the option to add new courses to your library at any time. You can add any course to the course library by clicking on the “Settings” tab in the “Courses” area of your account. Common examples of courses added to company libraries include product demos, optional professional development courses, and advanced information on topics that are covered in mandatory online courses.
Reporting tools allow training administrators to review the performance of their learners and gain deeper insights into how their training programs are impacting employee development efforts. In addition to traditional reports, users also have the ability to create custom reports and have them delivered via email.
Visit the Reports tab to get access to real-time results and stay on top of the progress of individual trainees. All reporting information can be exported as PDF or CSV files. Reports should also include date ranges, which means you can select specific periods of time to pull data from when generating your reports.
Gamification features within Litmos LMS help training administrators engage and motivate their learners. In doing this, administrators must rely on achievements, points, and badges, which are awarded based on a learner’s activity within the system.
To take advantage of gamification, you’ll need to enable the feature and create badges or points for your organization. Determine what your learners will need to accomplish in order to earn each badge, and Litmos LMS will handle the implementation. Learners will continue taking courses as usual, and Litmos will distribute points and badges automatically. Learners can see the badges they’ve earned by clicking on the “Achievements” tab.
Litmos LMS integrates with a number of third-party applications, including Shopify, TribeHR, Dropbox, Okta Identity Management, Box, and Salesforce App Cloud.
Subscription pricing for Litmos LMS starts start at $299/month for 100 users and has a cost of $699/month for 500 users. A free trial is available for new users, with no credit card required. Volume pricing and discounts for non-profit organizations are available, as well.
