Considered Both Products
TalentLMS
Chose TalentLMS
We chose TalentLMS because it met all our needs for managing training for our employees and it was very cheap as compared to other vendors.
Chose TalentLMS
Among all of the options that we evaluated TalentLMS presented the best value for the features that we required. In this tier of event management software tell him TalentLMS was one of the few that offered all the features that we needed at a reasonable price.
Chose TalentLMS
TalentLMS is way easier to use than Absorb and less expensive.
Chose TalentLMS
I don't recall our comparisons; it was four years ago.
Chose TalentLMS
Docebo's pricing has increased significantly. For one of my customers, we had to leave this tool. I have to admit that Docebo's technical support was very limited compared to TalentLMS. In my opinion, they were also snobbish because we were small customers. So we were relieved …
Chose TalentLMS
TalentLMS fit exactly what we were looking for: a user friendly, affordable, customizable LMS. Others didn't allow for creating your own trainings. Or, if they did allow you to create a training, they were extremely expensive. We were not looking for a library of content, so …
Chose TalentLMS
TalentLMS is user friendly and simple to learn. It is a well functional tool for professional development. It is stable and allows us to offer courses for 3 different types of learners by utilizing 3 different branches. Canvas was more cumbersome.
Chose TalentLMS
Our purchasing committee found that TalentLMS offered the best balance between pricing, features and functionality, along with an intuitive, easy to use interface for setup and ongoing usage. We also found that their sliding subscription levels allowed us to affordably …
Chose TalentLMS
I was not involved in the initial decision-making, but each of these options offer a comparable solution with some advantages and disadvantages.
Chose TalentLMS
TalentLMS is cheaper much more easy to use and quicker to implement.
Chose TalentLMS
We did not try anything prior to using TalentLMS and it was so user friendly and has served it's purpose for our clinic, there was no need to look for another program.
Chose TalentLMS
TalentLMS was the most robust solution that met all of our requirements.
Chose TalentLMS
we are currently using CPaT for our airline specific courses.

Chose TalentLMS
In my opinion, TalentLMS is so much better, it is not even in the same realm of ALM. The ease of use of the interface. Creating Groups. Enrolling Group. Reports!!!!!!!!!
Chose TalentLMS
We had to evaluate several platforms, some local in our country and then Adobe and neither could accommodate our business processes. Therefore, we went to a less academic and more commercial-based LMS in order for our business process to work.
Chose TalentLMS
I must admit it's been a few years since I last tested Moodle and Docebo, so my current opinion might be biased. That being said, on a pure price-to-performance ratio, TalentLMS blows both out of the water.
Chose TalentLMS
Both are good, but the pricing and general value proposition of Talent LMS are better than Trainual in my opinion. Trainual is a bit more modern and cleaner looking from a user interface perspective, but it comes at a higher cost. Both platforms provide very similar features in …
Chose TalentLMS
TalentLMS stacks up against them all because It is a very effective & good LMS system. It is user-friendly structured. Everything is well arranged and the information can be obtained in various ways. I appreciate how I can compile graphs and reports on the use of customers and …
Chose TalentLMS
Excellent platform. More user friendly and adaptable than Adobe and Ispring. More adaptable than either of these programmes. Better analytics and better reporting that give better information to managers.
Looop
Chose Looop
Loop is affordable and racks up a low cost per user than other similar learning management systems we evaluated. Looop also integrates well with our Core HR system. This system being Oracle, Looop integrates well to extract, transfer and load critical data that it needs for its …
Chose Looop
Looop is much better when it comes on ease of use for users as well as for administrators. So if you company does not have a full-fledged Learning and Developement team, then any HR Generalist can double up as admin with a few click of buttons for the entire company and set up …

Likelihood to Recommend
TalentLMS is user-friendly enough for someone new to LMS management can get a site up and running in a relatively quick manner. It is rather intuitive to operate. My needs have been a rather small scale of 400 learners and TalentLMS more than meets the need to produce a professional-looking and operational website to send customers and staff. The point here is that although I do not know how well it can be up-scaled, it certainly delivers for small to medium organizations to need to get content online

Well suited for small and mid-market companies to automate Learning and Development and to improve compliance for certain mandatory trainings (like IT security training, sexual harassment training, etc.). Good for finding out insights and analytics on training and certification compliance of employees and partners. Optimized for almost any device - be it Mobile, Web or Tablet

Cons
  • It should be easier to re-send someone their initial course assignment email notification. The notification engine is a little non-intuitive.
  • I was trying to add a user to our account the other day (not a user - an internal employee that I wanted to give access to our system) and I had trouble finding it

The ease of use, the robustness of the offering, and familiarity. It does everything we need and probably more. We likley don't utilize all the functionality it has as it does what we want it to without having to dig that deep into its tools. Their course library also has saved us some time in terms of saving time from creating some basic courses.

Usability
The system is intuitive. It does not have a lot of features that are hidden behind secret menus or elsewhere. There are often multiple ways to get to the same place through different menus without having to go back to the home or root menu. It makes things pretty easy. Additionally, if there is something I can't figure out, there is documentation available to help with that.

Implementation Rating
Implementation was relatively easy. When we set up a second branch, we needed a little help. But the support area is well-detailed. My clients had no experience with an LMS and their digital skills were limited. We had a long way to go. Nevertheless, it was relatively easy. It was rather quick!

Out of the box, Talent is easier to use than Learn Dash, which can be quite convoluted to set up, as it requires the integration and configuration of multiple plugins. As a result, we spent a lot less time getting things set up in Talent than LearnDash. Talent was also much less expensive than Litmos.
