Tovuti LMS
Chose Tovuti LMS
It doesn’t, but we use a group review and an attractive interface won over.
Chose Tovuti LMS
Tovuti LMS is super easy to use compared to Relias. Relias is very clunky and we always would have learners have issues with the platform. Tovuti's buildout process compared to Relias is very clean and easy to use. The analytics and reporting are also amazing, plus the cost …
Chose Tovuti LMS
Tovuti LMS had transparent pricing, which was very reasonable, was responsive to questions, offered a faster go-live time, and had some authoring tools to help get material online faster.
Chose Tovuti LMS
I selected Tovuti LMS due to its price range and interactive content authoring abilities available.
Chose Tovuti LMS
There are more features in Tovuti LMS compared to others. It's easier to use as well. The layout is really nice and the customization for CSS and HTML is great if you know what you're doing.
Chose Tovuti LMS
While all the LMS' listed above were good platforms, we found small barriers to using their software. Price is always a driver, and Open LMS happened to be the most expensive. But I would not use that as a blanket statement. Each company has its pricing structure and based …
Chose Tovuti LMS
We used Asana briefly before we moved to Tovuti LMS.
Chose Tovuti LMS
I keep coming back to this, but the customization of Tovuti is fantastic. There is a bit of a learning curve, but if you dive in, there are wonderful tools to create engaging content. BizLibrary has a great existing library of courses, but that is not what we needed. The …
Chose Tovuti LMS
This is the first learning management system I've used at my organization. My executive director had researched a few others, but none of their features compared to that of Tovuti (e.g., the capabilities of the interactive activity design, accessibility that allows for …
Chose Tovuti LMS
Most of my previous e-learning and LMS experience was with articulate. I love articulate 360 but in terms of LMS functionality, it is not nearly as robust as Tovuti.
Chose Tovuti LMS
In 2015 my company did a deep dive of the five top rated LMS in the industry. None of them did exactly what we wanted and ALL of them were cost prohibitive in a competitive B2B market in the automotive industry. I am sure authoring and content management has taken a huge leap …
Chose Tovuti LMS
Tovuti offered a virtual classroom, the interactive content, and did not impede on our intellectual property rights. Their development team is also interested in growing with us, pushing the envelope on what is possible for virtual learning. That was an important point.
Chose Tovuti LMS
We did a source selection with Accord LMS and Talent LMS. All the products were favorably evaluated, Tovuti, though, was selected as the product that provided the best integrated solution. This was the value we needed in the tool.
Chose Tovuti LMS
It best suited our industry and training needs. There are tools that we may never use, but the interactive content available is awesome. I cannot remember the other platforms that were investigated; the final decision was made by the training manager. I am a trainer and only …
Chose Tovuti LMS
Namastream didn't offer the features we wanted/needed for our clients and wasn't able to handle the volume of content. Tovuti was a much more robust and inclusive option. Namastream didn’t allow us to interact with our clients the way Tovuti does. We were also confident in …
Chose Tovuti LMS
The feature set for the price was the best. Some of these other products offer too many options for what our company was looking for, actually making the platform more confusing for both learner and admin, whereas Tovuti was perfect for both.
Chose Tovuti LMS
We explored Edvance360, LearnUpon, and Auzmor prior to our purchase with Tovuti. Due to the customization of the software, customer support experience, and available options we went with Tovuti. They were also willing to give us a Non-profit discount off of the purchase price …
Chose Tovuti LMS
We vetted close to 10 different LMS. We chose Tovuti almost entirely based on the user friendly layout and the feature capabilities. Only a few other platforms even came close to the amount of capabilities as Tovuti.
Chose Tovuti LMS
Tovuti was in the top 4 right off the bat but our secondary review found that it was the right blend of functions (one key function being that it had built-in authoring that seemed very robust) and cost. It was not the least expensive but was on the lower end and compared to …
Trainual
Chose Trainual
No comparison as it relates to many differences. You’re not able to create a portal or generate different classes to make the training fun like trainual it has been a lot easier for our team members to get caught up on any new products and other software that we used has not …
Chose Trainual
There were more user friendly features and a more streamline platform
Chose Trainual
Previously we created SOP's in Google Drive that we used for employee training but they were cumbersome to navigate through and were also in danger of getting deleted. They were plain Word documents and were not interesting to read. Trainual is SO much easier for new employees …
Chose Trainual
  • This is our first time using anything like this!
  • Previously we just wrote task items in shared Google documents. It was the best of what we could do at the time, but this is a whole different world, and we love it! Being able to integrate quizzes and photos and interactive video …

Tovuti LMSTrainual
Likelihood to Recommend
Tovuti is really well suited for anything that involves instruction, whether that be to a class or to provide training to your company's staff. While the interactive content is wonderful and allows for many accommodations (visual and hearing impairments included), it is not always an easy task to create activities that work comfortably for individuals with mobility/dexterity disabilities.

Trainual is well suited for new hires. They can be introduced to our processes and products before testing and trying themselves. Trainual provides for a less jarring experience for anyone new to our team. Every time someone new starts it is imperative that they complete all the training modules within Trainual before doing some of the work themselves. It definitely allows for a smoother transition to the team and work life

Cons
  • I would love to see Tovuti LMS add privacy measures that would confine visibility by course to allow more external partner participation.
  • While I appreciate the speed of response from the solution team, efficiency could be added by allowing quick video calls for identifying issues. It often takes a lot of effort to describe the issue, and it would be a quicker process to be able to show the problem.

  • The layout for all subjects is very overwhelming, and I'd love to be able to sort into folders or buckets.
  • I'd also like to be able to see all steps within ALL subjects in one area and be able to reorganize those with a simple drag and drop, instead of having to copy and paste text to move from one subject to another.

We have established the training department to extend our training capabilities into one central area. I have mentioned training production, internal and external sales staff. But the training department will surely delve into the HR area of new hire orientation, annual recertification processes, etc. We truly have just scratched the surface of this iceberg. Now that we have made the investment, we will surely continue with this product. I cannot see us moving to another product at all. We will definitely renew our subscription with Tovuti

Usability
The in-platform authoring tool really isn't an authoring tool. It is a content management system/database that requires you to build each and every component of your course under another tab and remember and correctly string them together. You can't author anything directly into a Tovuti LMS course. Everything is its own separate 'thing.'

Performance
I have worked with so many software packages that are slow to load, take for ever for screen changes, etc. I do not have that issue here with Tovuti at all. I have yet to really do any reporting on it as we are fairly new with the package, but if it operates like the rest of the system, then I am going to assume that reporting will be no more difficult than the rest of the platform

Support Rating
The pre-sales team was very helpful and responsive and then stopped responding to my mail as soon as I had signed the contract, not even a reply from the last couple of emails sent. The post-sale teams are engaged and quick to respond and really good. Unfortunately, I need to use them more than I should, and sometimes the reply is "we don't support that feature", but the support from the support team is excellent.

During the entire sales process, the Trainual team was great to work with. After the sale, their onboard process was top notch as well and was very quick to answer any questions and actually were open to customizing the platform to meet our specific needs. They have been great this entire time.

Online Training
Hayden was awesome. He knows his product inside and out and was able to answer all my questions. I had a lot of questions. I was actually starting to build courses while I was going through the training so that when the next session on the schedule came up, I had even more questions about what I had done vs the way I maybe should have. In the end, I was doing my own hands-on while going through the training. Tovuti is that easy to use.

The implementation had extremely wonderful support from Tovuti in the form of a series of one-on-one meetings to hear the clients needs and intended usage and then to set up the platform to meet those needs while demonstrating how to use it.

I keep coming back to this, but the customization of Tovuti is fantastic. There is a bit of a learning curve, but if you dive in, there are wonderful tools to create engaging content. BizLibrary has a great existing library of courses, but that is not what we needed. The ability to create specific permission levels for users that overlap in unique ways due to the nature of workforce development makes Tovuti stand out for our needs. BizLibrary and Schoology just were not as flexible in this regard. And while Schoology has strong content creation features, it mainly serves educational organizations and is developed to suit their needs. Again, just not as flexible as we needed.

Scalability
Scalability is great. We bought their first 'size' package and that covers 300 trainees. Transitioning to the next level is more a matter of accounting and payment. My take on it is that its just a matter of paying the higher level of subscription and its done
