TalentLMS Reviews

“Scalable from Free to Enterprise with support at every step

Pros

I loved how user friendly and quick the implementation was. As content creators, we managed to upload our content and use nearly all the features within just two days. The look and feel of the platform are great and its simplicity, along with the variety of content types, keeps things fresh and engaging for learners. As an admin, I have excellent visibility into user activity which is perfect for tracking and auditing the learning journey. Since we provide compliance training, the ability to easily customize certificates to match our brand and language is a huge plus.

Cons

Sorting fonts and pasting text into the system can be a bit tricky at first. However the support is excellent and the system seems very much customizable. Other WYSIWYG systems I have used at a similar price point often have limitations where they simply say you cannot do that. So far, every problem or request I have had has been addressed with a custom piece of code to paste into the system within 24 hours. I did not expect this level of service for $120 a month!

“A quick implementation with Talent LMS

Pros

Impressed with how quickly we set up our training system. Within just a few days we had courses created and users assigned. I also liked the affordable pricing which allowed us to dive in and start testing without any stress.

Cons

Sometimes moving between modules can feel a bit too much but with time you get used to the system.

“The best on the market

Pros

I find it easy to use and love how easy it is to load and edit content.

Cons

I would love to see some improvements to make it easier to implement mass actions.

“Employee Learning at its BEST with Talent LMS

Pros

I love the user interface of TalentLMS. Its user-friendly even for employees who have never used a computer before. Creating new courses is quick and simple with any media format.

Cons

We have specific requirements for each employee job title. Even though its easy to assign the courses but I need to work outside the system to determine what percentage of required courses they have completed excluding any elective courses.

“TalentLMS is a great learning management system

Pros

Its very easy to use and configure as I managed to set up most of the system within just a few hours. The FAQ support is excellent.

Cons

If I had to choose something it would be the minimal customization options on the course catalogue page. It displays everything a potential customer needs but I have no control over how it shows the course lists specifically the bundles.

“TalentLMS provides nearly all the functionalities that we need in an LMS

Pros

I really like the wide range of testing functionalities and the ability to accommodate a wide variety of training materials.

Cons

The look and feel could be improved to be cleaner and more user friendly.

“Great features and value

Pros

The features are excellent, highly customizable, and very easy to use. The comprehensive online help is a bonus which makes it an exceptional value for money.

Cons

Overall, customer support is fantastic but there have been a few incidents where it was a bit slow.

“Robust intuitive learning management application

Pros

TalentLMS software is easy to use with intuitive workflows and a robust user interface which is great for inexperienced users.

Cons

There is no autoplay feature for video presentations on the homepage.

“Ideal for training customers and our distributors

Pros

Creating courses from existing PowerPoint training materials is simple. I found it easy to set up tests with various types of questions.

Cons

When we started 2 years ago we tested using it for our online webinars but it did not work as well as the standalone webinar platform we use now. It might have improved since then.

“Continued improvements

Pros

TalentLMS consistently rolls out quarterly updates that enhance the features and usability of their product. They have kept the pricing affordable even with significant updates. Its easy for our learners to use and administration and reporting are quite good.

Cons

Certification management needs further improvement. I have not yet figured out how we will handle re certification if requirements change from the original. Its also difficult to get the certificate ID number which is important for storing data outside of TalentLMS. Currently, my workaround involves manually loading a PDF preview and extracting the ID from the PDF as its the only place its implanted naturaly. Reporting has improved over time but could still benefit from better cross-object reporting and filtering based on additional criteria.

“Simple-to-use platform for a commercial product

Pros

We use TalentLMS for our commercial curriculum which serves thousands of learners from about 100 clients. It nicely supports isolating each customer in their own "branch," where they have their own admin and manage their users. The primary reasons I chose TalentLMS were its simple UI which requires minimal training for both customers and learners and the mobile app that allows learners to complete modules offline. The customer support has exceeded my expectations. When we had an issue we could not pinpoint (whether it was the LMS, browser or authoring tool), the team went above and beyond to help us troubleshoot. Setting up new branches is quick and simple and bulk import is user-friendly. Most of our teenage learners say it doesn't even feel like "learning" with the app. We and our clients love it. When we add large new clients, we need to increase the seats on our subscription, and our customer service rep has always been helpful and responsive.

Cons

It would be helpful to have more robust survey functionality. We currently have to create courses that link to Survey Monkey for some of our learner self assessments (eg questions with two answer: How would you have rated yourself before this program and how do you rate yourself now? It would also be beneficial to create custom learning paths or prerequisites for the same courses by branch without duplicating a course. The self registration and course purchase feature does not function in a way that we can use.

“Happy

Pros

TalentLMS software easy to use and setup courses easily.

Cons

It does everything as per my needs, in short my experience has been great.

“TalentLMS is the best blended learning app

Pros

One of the standout features of TalentLMS for me is that it does not require any installation, upgrades or backups. All features are easy to use with the available guides. TalentLMS offers the best blended learning experience. Once we uploaded our courses to the TalentLMS portal, its been quite useful which allows us to access course contents from anywhere in the world.

Cons

I think the payment method for each category could be better as its a bit difficult to understand.

“After compare the most popular LMS cloud in the market Talent is a very good option

Pros

I found it truly easy to implement and very intuitive to learn.

Cons

The basic plan might not include chat support.

“A step above the rest

Pros

Its very easy for me to use and get familiar with the features. Our students, mostly children aged 8-15, love the gamification aspect and earning certificates and badges.

Cons

Creating our courses is somewhat time consuming. It might be due to our approach but it would be nice to see a preview of previously uploaded images for easy selection and reuse.

“Compatible with popular software

Pros

The interface is user-friendly and it works smoothly with all the software I already use including MS Office, Adobe, PowerPoint, you name it. Integration has been smooth across the board.

Cons

You need some creative development experience to get started

“Well thought out tool

Pros

The whole setup is really well designed. Courses, groups, quizzes, everything flows nicely. Getting our team to actually use it wasn't a struggle at all, which says something. You can tell they've learned from having tons of users because everything just works smoothly. It has all the functionality we were looking for.

Cons

The text editor feels a bit clunky compared to other options out there. I'd really appreciate a better WYSIWYG editor or maybe the ability to switch to a different one. What they have now works fine but it's not as smooth as I'd like it to be.

“easy to create content

Pros

Its so simple and I find creating content and generating reports to be issue-free.

Cons

Haven't run into any real problems yet, everything seems to be working fine for me

“Limited video size

Pros

Gets easier once you realize you need to switch between different roles depending on your task. Simple to add courses, just drag and drop your files and you're done. The platform handles SCORM packages along with regular file formats, which gives you flexibility.

Cons

The 100MB video limit is way too restrictive. I ended up creating a YouTube channel just to host videos and link them back, which feels like a workaround rather than a real solution. Even upgrading doesn't seem to increase this limit. Support is pretty limited too unless your on the premium plan with 500+ users, no live chat or phone support, just email which isn't great when you need quick answers.

“easy to track users

Pros

What I appreciate most is being able to monitor user activity and behavior.

Cons

Sometimes I find it tough to get around and locate what I need.
