Considered Both Products
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.
Thought Industries
Chose Thought Industries
Thought industries allowed us to create multiple customized portals in the price point we needed.
Chose Thought Industries
We selected Thought Industries over these three competitors, even though Thought Industries was more expensive. Their partnership in scaling was better and their integrations were stronger.
Chose Thought Industries
Thought Industries provided an experience that was a quality match for both traditional learners and Learning Management Systems and where the learning world was going (at the time of purchase). What it could do for both Education and Sales combined is the key factor that drew …
Chose Thought Industries
Thought Industries is better on the financial side and as far as ease of use. It is more affordable than Docebo and is more aligned to an external customer use case. Docebo and Tovuti seemed to be more for internal training. Tovuti was less expensive, but it was a little harder …

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Currently, there are a lot of good things about the platform. Thought Industries I believe can do B2B, B2C, and Internal Training really well. The Panorama allows for segmentation of users and cohorts also provides great flexibility for whatever education business you are providing. It is more modern and sleek than a good amount of traditional LMSs that are used for K-12 or Higher Ed. Mobile and the lack of Phone or Chat Support is where they can greatly improve as other improvements are made based on user feedback and prioritized accordingly.

  • Ecommerce: The eCommerce options on Thought Industries are far better than any other LMS. You can sell subscriptions, one-time products, and even physical products.
  • Note-taking: The ability for users to take notes and journal is a key feature as a lot of our customers are teachers and they are learning the Bible and may want to go back and integrate their notes in other lessons.
  • The ability to handle video and audio is exceptional, especially how the video files can be stored in Wistia.
  • The panorama feature is helpful as we have many products that we white label and now, we can create courses for those customers as well.

Cons
  • 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.

Our onboarding was awesome. Attentive, responsive, knowledgeable and very helpful in us getting our initial internal portal up and running. Support is typically pretty responsive to issues as they arise, although slow to correct an issue/problem unless it effects the overall function of the system
