User Testimonials
	Edsby	Intellum
Likelihood to Recommend	I use only Edsby - I have no use for a google classroom as well as an Edsby page. I try to convince and how teachers how easy it is to use only one system Verified User Anonymous Read full review	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. Incentivized CH Cathy Herweyer Instructional Designer Read full review
Pros	Intuitive - Parents find it simple to use. Email - because Esdby links to our SIS producing class lists and broadcast emails are a snap. Celia Stone Marketing & Admissions Manager Read full review	Intellum is a highly easy-to-use and user-friendly tool that has great functionality for all of our current cases. I have been using Intellum as a centralized form of learning management for all the employees. Intellum has been offering excellent customer service and all the questions are answered on a timely basis. Incentivized Kerry Haupt HR Director Read full review
Cons	Edsby could make the sorting and collecting of information such as attendance easier. Enhancements to the messaging system are needed - sorting into folders, searching, etc. David Lee Vice Principal Read full review	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. Incentivized Clay Coleman Director of Education Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	Most of our needs are met with this platform currently and the customer service has been excellent. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	The user interface is widely modelled on a web 2.0 design (e.g. Facebook). This is not a criticism per se, as it makes moving around the site very easy and familiar. The mobile site is also very well designed, it makes good use of space and is also easy to navigate. Matthew David IT Director Read full review	The system has changed since I started using it and it has become more intuitive. As a user and admin, I find that it is fairly easy to navigate.

Alternatives Considered	EDSBY was piloted at the school last semester, and I found it made my job easier, which is a boon since time is fleeting and I could get more done with less effort with Edsby. After the pilot the entire school district was signed up to use Edsby. I like it very much. I did use a blog on First Class which was extremely difficult to learn, and a blog on WordPress which was easier to learn how to use but not interactive like Edsby is. To my mind, Edsby is far superior to the former. SM Susan McGuire Secondary English Teacher Read full review	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 over its competitors! Incentivized James Baca Owner Read full review
Return on Investment	For the most part, teachers, parents and students love the system. It provides easy access to the information that they need when they need it. David Lee Vice Principal Read full review	Our Onboarding Team LOVES showing new clients Intellum. It has allowed for the initial setup and day-to-day use training of our software to be handled by the LMS and the team members can really focus on the tough questions and best practices. We have seen over 110% year-over-year growth of users on our learning center platform. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
