Enterprise

Compliance and AML Officer

It allows for quick setup of courses, good tracking of completion, and provides a structured way to ensure compliance across the organization.

Manager Instructional Design

In an organization with over 300 people leaders, the only option is a custom report and the last thing I need is 300 individual reports for each leader.

Learning and Development Manager

Also, their built-in (and expensive per-user cost) training library is full of cartoonish videos that are not well-suited for my clients and leaders.

Head Learning and Development

It should have AI capability within the platform to make a course from scratch with avatars and text and videos to final video modules

IT Professor

The drag and drop course builder of TalentLMS helps me build video, quizzes and SCORM courses in a few minutes.

General Manager

We initially thought we could use it for multiple branches of our company and when that was not an option we do use for our biggest client.

I think that custom report and analytics in a limited capacity can be made available to lower subscription tiers.

HR Business Partner

We were able to brand the portal with our company colors, logos, and course certificates.

I think the notification delay of about 2 hours when I enroll someone in a course is also a bit odd, why not make it instant?

Lecturer

As a lecturer, it is difficult to depart a platform that offers almost all that online teaching might need: I can start courses from scratch, customize content via plenty of media tools, track my learners' progress, arrange tests and set rules or permissions.

Highly interactive units & assessments,, Gamified learning experience that keeps learners motivated throughout, options to generate customised reports, upload content in various formats & wide range of courses to select from in Course Store.

Sr. Instructional Systems Designer

The ease of uploading courses, enrollment, and managing courses is so smooth. Plus, running reports is just a few clicks away.

TalentLMS has integrated SCORM packages into their course authoring tool as well as provided great authoring features in their own product.

The system is quite technical for reviewing information and making courses.

The fact that I cannot I cannot download a hardcopy of my training units or my modules

It help course creation and usability of course to learner journey simple

Curriculum Specialist

My only complaint is that sometimes I encounter a glitch, which can happen with any technology.

Operations Support

Overall, the software is really helpful especially the AI course generator which helps us create the courses on its own with just uploading the desired documents to it.

I also enjoy the ability to provide customer training in addition to internal training.

Talent LMS is a great help for uplifting your employees professionally and cross train them on different set of skills and track their performances.

Training Specialist

He was consistently responsive, providing helpful screen recordings and links, and demonstrating a deep understanding of the platform.

Finance Manager

Offers a wide range of tools to track learner progress and performance.

Operations Analyst

The report-generating function provides all the records I need for users' completion of course assignments.

Not many bad things to say, other than only wish we knew about TalentLMS years ago as the old LMS was so clunky and hard to navigate.

Training Manager

This allowed us to pay a nominal fee when starting up, and increase our subscription package as we got more users.  

Lms Technologist

The User-Friendly Interface Old and New, The knowledge base feature makes it easier to learn about the product, The guides on youtube are also amazing and I've used them in my training, Setting up one's homepage is easier than I thought.

Group Operations Manager

Cannot set timings on when emails get sent to users, so sometimes the system sends emails to employees on a Sunday

Owner

I am now forced to make time in a busy schedule to find a suitable replacement. When a customer requests a refund because of an issue that TalentLMS refuses to correct, an issue that has now been reported 3 times over the last month, it's time to find another partner.

We began TLMS as our pilot LMS and want to scale it.

There are the occasional questions from users about how to do something, but Talent makes it easy to communicate "how-to's"!

Customizable features allow for flexibility in training programs.

I like the integration with BambooHR & the TalentLibrary.

Software Support Analyst

I own a call center and have multiple campaigns.  

Director of Compliance and Training

Implementation at times felt a bit rushed, especially with 45 minute phone calls.

Our company loves the app and browser options, as well as having branches to create other learning environments.

Int'l Dir. of Org Learning

There are quite a few glitches with the new interface and it is taking quite a lot of time to get them sorted out from TalentLMS's side.

The responses to when I have issues have had a fairly quick turn around time.

Adult ESL Teacher

The course creation element needs more variety in terms of interactive elements/templates.

Global People and Talent Manager

The course options and content is very helpful.

Senior generalist, HR solutions

Online training for employees to improve performance, easy to track training progress.

Customer support is amazing, implementation of the system was smooth, and overall I love TalentLMS and am glad we migrated.

Though full of options, it is still difficult for instructors to use mass actions, particularly when assigning files or tasks.

System Administrator

TalentLMS allows me to keep a record of my training courses, training hours, evaluations, and test results so that I can easily conduct an audit.

Learning and Development Coordinator

It’s affordable and customizable to meet all our members’ training needs.

Readiness and Success Coordinator

Talent has enabled my organization to standardize our training, create long-term training infrastructure, and consolidate the training workload into one role, improving efficiency and saving both time and money.

Apart from minor bugs in data tracking (course completion time) and my own inexperience in cleaning up data when doing my own data analysis, I never ran into any issues that either didn't have a solution already available in the help section or that were not quickly resolved by the Customer Support Team

Initial setup can be a bit time-consuming for administrators.

Professional Learning Specialist

As an instructional designer I am particular about the platforms I use and how they feel to me as the admin and instructor and how they feel for my learners as well!

Limited editor and formatting options

Learning experience designer

Most reviewers indicate that TalentLMS includes a wide range of features—such as SCORM and xAPI support, custom domain mapping, automation, and notifications—at no additional cost, which they feel is uncommon at this price point.

Broadcast Specialist

The interactive labs and immediate feedback enhance the learning process, making it engaging and effective. While some advanced topics could benefit from more in-depth coverage, the supportive community and structured assignments management ensure a well-rounded and enriching educational journey.

DevSecOps

The highlight of the platform is its laboratories, all courses have one and allow you to practice what you have learned, even in courses like CKA there are additional courses to practice and it is very useful.

What I like least about KodeKloud is that some advanced topics can feel a bit rushed, leaving learners wanting more in-depth explanations and additional resources. While the hands-on labs are excellent, occasionally the accompanying theoretical content might not be comprehensive enough for those seeking a deeper understanding.

On-call Operation Specialist

For me it helps me to learn Terraform and AWS also it helps me to learn how go through a proper way to improve my skills.

Devops Engineer

The interactive labs and the self paced content is awesome and also they are well structured .The cloud sand boxes offer good platform to practice as well

Sr. Devops Engineer

There's no method to arrange your menu of content, such as starring content or creating your custom learning path.  

The lack of content across all three major clouds is a limiting factor.   When I run out of content, or focus on missing technologies, I will then need to explore other solutions.

Software Engineer

The course offered by Mumshad Mannambeth was absolutely awesome - the content was easy to follow, and the labs gave me a very good feel for the actual exam. When I went to take the exam, I found it to be quite similar to the course content, and ended up passing with 89, with KodeKloud being my only study material.

Support Engineer

This allows me to practice and explore on my own, helping me understand whether I have any doubts or if I've grasped everything correctly.

Classroom and Collaboration Technology Analyst

Kodekloud has so many courses that get you actually ready to use technologies and even be an SME in those technologies.

I am able to memorize everything I learnt because of the interactive hands-on excercise after each topic

SRE Intern

Different features which helps in self learning and take assessments making it more interactive and interesting to learn.

DevOps engineer

The interactive labs and playgrounds have allowed me to apply the concepts I'm learning in practical scenarios, which has significantly enhanced my understanding and retention of the material.

Occasionally, the interface can be a bit slow, and there might be some minor bugs in the labs that need to be addressed.

Devops

Additional Costs: Certain advanced courses and specialized content might require additional payments, which can add up.

Technical Support Engineer

VSC throws a permission error despite already enabling clipboard access to my browser.

Software Developer

it help people with latest technologies .DevOps not found in systematic way but it provide that resources.

Lead developer

I like introduction course like Devops Fundamentals, and linux for beginners, Interactive lab with a lot of exercises with CLI and dedicated linux sandbox.

Technical Support Manager

It provides a roadmap based on "doing" and not only on theorical content.
