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

Not only the capacities are very limited ( example:  you can't select a font size), the alignment are dysfunctional , there would be random cut and line jump in all the sentences, the layout would constantly be broken in the editor, but also in the quiz editor.

56% of reviewers feel negative about Editor and Formatting in TalentLMS.

Users say importing content from other applications often results in messy formatting, and the editor can be buggy or unintuitive. Some reviewers mention difficulties with language support, limited customization for visuals, and challenges with uploading or displaying images, which collectively hinder the ability to create visually appealing and accessible training materials.

Large Enterprises

Mid-size Business

Most users consider TalentLMS to offer strong value for money, highlighting its affordable and flexible pricing plans that scale easily with organizational growth. They appreciate the availability of a free version for small teams or initial testing, which allows them to explore features before committing financially. 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. They say the platform’s pricing structure accommodates both small businesses and larger organizations, and users can upgrade or downgrade plans as their needs change. Most users report that the cost per user is lower compared to many competitors, and they value the ability to start with a modest plan and scale up as their user base grows. Some reviewers find the subscription options and payment flexibility to be a significant benefit, especially for businesses with fluctuating activity.

However, some users say the jump between pricing tiers can be steep, making it costly for organizations that fall just above a lower plan’s user limit. Some reviewers feel that the limitations on user numbers and certain features can make the platform less cost-effective for mid-sized organizations or nonprofits. A few users indicate that it can be difficult to understand which features are included in each plan or to get detailed pricing information from sales.

Sr analyst

Its a nice platform offering wide range of skill based courses for continuous learning and career upskilling, making LinkedIn Learning as a valuable tool.

Software Engineer

Additionally, you can earn certificates that are automatically sharable on LinkedIn and you have the option to auto populate your skills areas with new skills based on what you earned.

Director Learning and Development

The cost of the product is far too high, the search page is difficult for users to manage and find what they need, admin features were difficult to navigate and limited without extra add-ons (cost) and customer support is slow and not helpful.

Commerce Investment Associate

More specifically about the interface, I enjoy how the courses are broken into sections to make them digestible, that you can edit the playback speed, that there are check-in quizzes to test your learning, and that you can take notes!

Office Manager

LinkedIn Learning is amazing for the obvious reasons but what our office loves about LinkedIn Learning the most is that our technicians are gaining so much knowledge on how they can continue to be even more successful.

Proprietor

I've found LinkedIn Learning to be a reliable source for professional development material as well as being a great source of refresher material.

CAD Engineer

There are a lot of courses that are low level , too generic and withou any juice at all, you must oick the course wisely.

Accessibility Consultant

The selective selection process for what courses can be hosted on their platform makes sure that only high quality content is available

Some of the lessons are slightly dated (which is easy to do in the digital realm where content changes so frequently).

Provides rich set of quality content course library, good for corporate L&D departments and individual professionals

Senior Manager

Useful learning platform with varying degrees of rigour on a myriad of topics both functional and technical.

Talent and Development Partner

Some of the reporting could improve as the different metrics are quite disjointed and provide different results, for example when viewing most popular courses vs most popular skills learnt.

A great selection of courses is available on LinkedIn Learning, with a wide variety for whatever topic or subject you want to upskill on or learn about.

Senior Manager II. Talent Acquisition

The content, proctors, and variety of the subject matter is great. Where it's lacking compared with platforms like Udemy or Coursera is the human interaction and ability to collaborate and take part in group activities.

It has helped me learn new skills that I wouldn't get to in school and it even provides a certificate that I can show to others.

Everything runs out so smooth, it is essencyal that theres is no struggles around the corner because any excuse is good to stop the learnings.

Civil Engineer

Quality instructors, flexible schedules, wide course variety, LinkedIn integration, and certificates for career development.

Director of Product

When integrated with HR systems such as Workday, navigation is clunky and experience is not fulfilling.

student

The price of courses are bit on higher side and there is no option to skip any module, if we have the proper knowledge then too we have to complete the course.

You're able to enroll in courses and virtually attend lectures and trainings by some of the brightest minds in your particular area of specialty/interest.

Its UI is very informative and user friendly and the courses offered are really very informative which helps us to learn new skills which can be utilized in workplace.

Engineer

Vast selection of courses across various fields, the personalized recommendations that help me focus on the skills I need
