Considered Both Products
Adobe Learning Manager
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
I don't know that there's been another product. They were already using it like in beta or something when I started. So it predates my experience. I've been there for one year.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
Even though we didn't get to utilize Captivate to its fullest potential, I have found nothing that comes close in comparison.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
It directly helps us with commerce.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
We have long used open source learning management platforms, such as Moodle. However, the "free" cost ends up being misleading, since the costs of installation, customization, and web hosting are often difficult to calculate. A SaaS scheme is more controllable and allows you to …
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
Adobe Learning Manager stacked up very well against the other major LMS system we had considered, which was Vision by Grace Hill. Adobe offered a more dynamic, visual learning experience that Grace Hill could not. Grace Hill, however, was less costly and did offer similar …
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
In initial trailing the product we had experience with canvas LMS and Adobe Learning Manager stood out in terms of integration of the different connectors it was offering across the portfolio when trying to select the best and also making the learning easy for the internal …
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
The user experience of Adobe Learning Manager is more complete. I have no experience with other LMS software. However, some colleagues have clarified to me that Adobe Learning Management provides a more inclusive experience compared to similar software. The graphical interface …
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
Adobe Learning Manager does provide an Intuitive user experience which is the most important thing for corporate learners. Centralized content management, sharing the content across groups, tracking the course progress, and the power of handling different types of course …
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
The free trial, the competitive price point, and the sales rep were the main determinators in choosing this software.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
360 keeps up the Adobe learning manager. It even outclasses it in certain parts, but with a huge stalwart tech giant like Adobe, it is hard to keep up. Many of the features are present, but there's always that final touch missing. And it is always trying to play catchup.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
One of my prior employers used SumTotal's LMS solution. It was extremely expensive to implement and required a great deal of customization. It was a lengthy implementation, and by comparison, Adobe Learning Manager was a breeze to set up and get up and running.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
In a lot of ways, ALM has a very different feel from other LMS's, and has more of an internal training feel than a class feel. I would definitely recommend this for skills and compliance training, it is less well suited to a classroom feel. For a licensing course, it has its …
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
It is one-stop solution for all LMS needs. To train the employee on a regular basis we need something reliable, and good reputation.
  1. The cost is effective as compared to other
  2. The UI and software stability is nice.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
There is no comparison. ALM is in a class all by itself.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
We chose it to replace Absorb. I think it’s better overall and has more features.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
Adobe Learning Manager is more business focused than Canvas and Blackboard. It is also more user friendly than SuccessFactors and Cornerstone. iSpring is the only other LMS that is comparable.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
Rippling is mostly an HRIS that now has an LMS component. It's truly meant for one-a-year compliance training as learners cannot return to the courses and review them unless they are re-assigned. It has good features like automatic enrollment, but it doesn't give us the ability …
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
I prefer Adobe Learning Manager to Cornerstone OnDemand as the latter is mostly focused on performance management and does not support the needs of small and medium businesses.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
Creating content has been easier in articulate.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
Comparable, but Adobe Learning Manager is double the price.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
Adobe Captivate Prime is on par with the other LMS products that I have used.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
We considered Absorb LMS and Saba Cloud but found that Adobe Captivate Prime had better service and support but was also easier to integrate and deploy with our other services. The fact that we had a team member familiar with the platform also made it easy for us to pick Adobe …
Intellum
Chose Intellum
Intellum is in a class of its own. With the good referrals, I got from colleagues in my industry, I was aware that certain processes would be made easier by this software, and we were right. I have seen the positives that have come from this software. It easily takes the cake …
Chose Intellum
Adobe Captivate is a very complex product and more expensive as well. It does offer more features but at this stage, the organization doesn't require any more features than what is offered.
Chose Intellum
Intellum offers many customizable features and focuses on engagement more than solely content output. Intellum offers thorough reporting features that provide data needed to make informed decisions and business opportunities. Intellum was easy to learn how to use and navigate …
Chose Intellum
We ran an RFP process with a number of providers, and Intellum won the work.
Chose Intellum
Basically, it comes down to pricing in contract.
Chose Intellum
Intellum has a very flexible design for users which is a great aspect of this tool. This tool leverages the user by giving the capability to create content for different types of learning groups. I am happy with its services and also happy with the choice I have ever made.
Chose Intellum
Intellum does not measure up to Relias. Relias is much more user-friendly and offers course content relevant to, and meeting, state regulations. Intellum was cheaper than Relias; however, since Intellum has started charging for every little service, the cost is pretty …
Chose Intellum
I use Intellum as the company [e-learning platform] but I have [used] Moodle and Teachable in a personal way.
Chose Intellum
We used Lessonly internally, but we felt it was a far more complex system and beyond the scope of what we were looking for. The simplicity and ease-of-use made Intellum the right choice for us at the time.
Chose Intellum
Modern user experience, simple admin experience, dedication to staying up-to-date with today's online learner
Chose Intellum
Customization, access to data and learner experience is really the key points that makes Intellum stand out of the competition. Also, the constant improvement related to the LMS makes it even better overtime.

Moodle and Google Classroom were too basic in my opinion.
Chose Intellum
Intellum provided the best user and admin experience of any LMS we reviewed. It was optimal for our centralized approach, and included the modern requirements like powerful search, carousel UX, and intuitive administration.
Chose Intellum
Much more robust interface and customizable options for building content. Intellum provides enhanced user analytics, reporting capabilities, and user friendly communication strategies. We selected Intellum over Lessonly mainly because of the commitment to service, ingenuity, …
Chose Intellum
More customizable interface and in-platform content authoring.
Chose Intellum
Pretty even, Branier has interactive functions that are cool although not the same as Intellum.
Chose Intellum
I haven't used any other products like Intellum.
Chose Intellum
I was not the decision maker but as a user Intellum is a much easier platform to learn and use with all of the same functionality of the other LMS's I have worked with or considered.
Chose Intellum
Relias is so much better than Intellum, but Exceed was less expensive when we purchased it. I think they are closer in price now.
Relias really focuses on content and meeting our regulations.
Much easier to use.
Chose Intellum
We definitely prefer Intellum over Saba. Our users prefer Intellum over Saba, but my primary reason for preferring Intellum is the customer service we receive.

It's good if you have a good use case for that feed. I do know that you have to incorporate it in a process in isolation. It's not you don't realize the full value, so you have to incorporate it into an overall improvement process. I would say the pro cases are marketing optimization with respect to campaigns. And I would say that the areas it's not well suited is in distilling attribution. So if you were to take all of the improvements that it suggested, the numbers exceed revenue, which isn't real, but that's a hard problem to solve. Nobody's really solved that problem well. So distilling the attribution piece would be good. And it is well suited for marketing campaigns in the ideation phase of so

Intellum leads the field in reporting; something I didn't even know I really needed/wanted until we purchased this LMS. While I realize that most Learning Management Systems are designed to support online, auto-assigned content for people to complete on a device, 80% (sometimes more) of our training is delivered in person (we are a quarry company, and our learners do much better with Instructor Led Training). Sometimes it is difficult to find a workaround in Intellum that allows us the flexibility and consistency we require for managing our in-person learning needs.

  • Hard to keep up with all of the new features and updates that are shared weekly.
  • Do not have a current solution for the ability to build live simulation experiences.
  • Reports generated can sometimes be slowed down if there are a lot of requests in the Exceed que for completion.

It wasn't user friendly enough for me. I had a difficult time navigating it and didn't want to waste too much time trying to figure it all out. If it were more clear cut and to the point I think it would be more worthwhile for someone like me.

Most of our needs are met with this platform currently and the customer service has been excellent.

Usability
For shorter learning courses it is probably very capable and gets the job done very nicely. It can be engaging while keeping the users motivated with the gamification features. There are some technical challenges while doing longer courses. But they can be fixed with further updates to the platform and is a promising front.

I think they have a competent, friendly and "resolving" team. I have only ever been met with a willingness to assist any and every query I have come across. Roy who is one of the technical people is amazing, and so is my Customer Success Manager, Hema! I do not know what I would do without them.

Trial period was great, and It let me plenty of time to try the different feature of the platform. However, when we decided to move forward, the ADOBE team was slow and not reactive at all. Actually after 2 years, I am still waiting for answers which is quite unacceptable.
