Totara Learn Reviews

“Totara

Pros

The software is relatively easy to use if you understand the concept of a learning management system.

Cons

Too basic. The software lacks robustness and is limited in features and capabilities.

“Totara LMS for small organizations

Pros

I liked the ability to customize and tailor the system to our needs. We worked with our vendor to add functionalities to fit our business.

Cons

From an admin perspective, it helps to have some tech skills. However, our vendor's support was crucial in navigating this.

“Very user friendly webiste

Pros

This is a great learning platform, easy to navigate, with excellent technology, making it an amazing platform for quick learning.

Cons

My overall experience has been great, and I haven't encountered any issues.

“Our company implemented Totara through a third party reseller. We migrated from Moodle.

Pros

Being hosted off-site means we don't need to rely on our small Systems team. This is incredibly valuable to me as an LMS administrator, as previously it was impossible to upgrade our Moodle versions. Navigating to courses is simple, the look and feel are decent, and so far, it's been stable.

Cons

I would like to see more features beyond what is available in the free Moodle LMS system. Improved reporting features and support for plugins currently available in free Moodle, particularly H5P, would be appreciated.

“The open LMS with better support

Pros

This LMS includes all the features of Moodle plus additional functions for business training, such as personalized reports and planning individual and group objectives.

Cons

The main downside is that some plans can be expensive, depending on the provider. However, having a subscription offers peace of mind, as the support team is always available to resolve any issues.

“Excellent tool for education and online training

Pros

I have tried this platform and find it very comprehensive, allowing you to educate individuals and train both employees and clients effectively.

Cons

Although it is very good, its interface isn't as competitive as other platforms. Enhancing the interface would unlock its potential.

“Perfect application for corporate training and learning.

Pros

Totara is one of the most complete learning applications for the corporate world. It's highly detailed, free, and extremely comprehensive, allowing management of both in-person and online training, evaluation of employee performance, creation of progress reports for each employee, all with a user-friendly interface. It offers all this for a fraction of the cost of proprietary applications. Its features are focused on developing complete professionals, teaching business rules, and strengthening your company. Use it!

Cons

Being free, it may not have the service and attention issues of proprietary software. However, you will need support from software specialists to address any problems or stabilize the program.

“Very good option for elearning implementation

Pros

We worked on the instructional design for a micromaster in leadership and excellence, and Totara LMS's wonderful features allowed us to advance the e-learning product significantly faster than starting from scratch.

Cons

Our team finds it challenging to grasp the LMS. Our administration team will need some form of training. Thankfully, Totara LMS invests a lot of time in training and supporting their partners.

“Excellent LMS, cost effective and full of features

Pros

It's a comprehensive learning platform that you can tailor to your needs, offering excellent features for managing teams and programs.

Cons

You need some technical expertise to take full advantage of it. It can be challenging initially, but once it's set up, it provides all the tools necessary for managing learning.

“Moodle supercharged!

Pros

The feature variety, adaptability, option to choose between local hosting and cloud, and cost-efficiency are impressive.

Cons

The interface and overall design feel quite outdated compared to the latest websites, technologies, and interfaces we see today.

“Feature rich and open source vs Complex handling

Pros

Being open source, it offers great default features and numerous possibilities for various uses.

Cons

The technical documentation is inadequate, missing crucial details for advanced feature usage. The design isn't very intuitive, with an overload of blocks.

“Powerful and Flexible Enterprise Open Source LMS

Pros

It provides numerous learning tools and options to support different learning styles, blends, and strategies. It's a versatile product with many configuration options and has a responsive support and development team.

Cons

Some of the older features and architecture are based on Moodle, which isn't ideally suited for enterprise learning. However, this might improve in the future.

“Flexible, scalable, and won't break the bank

Pros

The platform comes with a rich set of built-in features and the inherent adaptability of an open-source system.

Cons

The interface is very simplistic and feels outdated.
