iSpring Learn Reviews

Pros

It does everything I would want it to and more.

Cons

The only downside is the cost in my opinion.

Pros

iSpring Learn is a clean and easy to use LMS for small businesses to execute internal training strategies

Cons

It does not offer a ton of customization of in depth features, but allows us to get the job donw

Alternatives Considered

Moodle and Docebo

Reasons for Switching to iSpring Learn

iSpring was a very competitive option and we liked how simple it appeared to use.

Pros

Ability to have multiple Learning Paths that collate separate courses, and to track users' progress through those Learning Paths.

Cons

New functionality has only been added piecemeal, presumably where a client has paid for a new feature to match their specific requirements. The new functions then aren't applied across the whole system (since the client didn't pay for that work). The result is a "swiss cheese" of a product, with huge holes.

For example, the API doesn't allow you to retrieve attributes that were added in new functionality. The API itself allows you to set and retrieve (limited parts of) individual records, but doesn't let you get access to reports programatically.

SSO is all-or-nothing - you have to have the same SSO for all Organizations, which sucks if you're using the same course material in-house as well as externally. And SSO doesn't support the latest standards. Discussion forums are similarly only open to all and can't be limited to Organizations. Presumably both SSO and Discussions were added before some client paid for multiple Organizations to be added.

On top of all that, iSpring is actually more expensive than other better multi-org solutions such as TalentLMS.

Pros

Very intuitive and user-friendly platform that makes creating, organizing and tracking of educational content very easy.
Big plus is that learners can access training materials anytime, anywhere, allowing for self-paced learning that fits individual schedules.
Great customer support. Fast and attentive response to all opened cases.

Cons

Offered integration with BambooHR does not work as expected which lead to manual user import and harder user management.
Although the customer support is great, it would be very helpful to have deeper engagement during the implementation phase through clear implementation plan.

Alternatives Considered

Absorb LMS, Moodle, Adobe Learning Manager and Chamilo

Reasons for Switching to iSpring Learn

iSpring had all the desired functionalities for reasonable price combined with great attention and customer support during the negotiation phase.

Pros

Very easy to use package, particularly where you don't have a dedicated learning and management team. Our users are from member companies across the world and they have found access and design easy to handle. From a support side, the team at iSpring are quick and explain things without being too technical. Great when you don't have a dedicated team.

Cons

There are so many things that can be done it is easy to fall into the trap of trying to over complicate things.

Alternatives Considered

Adobe Illustrator

Reasons for Switching to iSpring Learn

Clean and easy design which was tested by potential users.

Pros

iSpring allow us to prepare the Course module directly from the PowerPoint and it has attractive slide themes which are very useful and enable us to prepare courses easily

Cons

The customization options for interactions and playback can be improved with more options.

Pros

I am new to my role and to iSpring, and I have found their online resources, customer support, and training webinars to be exceptional! I have been able to get all of my questions answered and have easily self-taught myself how to use the different programs that come with the iSpring Max subscription. I especially like the ease of adding voiceovers and narration to our training content for accessibility.

Cons

Our learning paths are set up in a way that I often need to add a single course to multiples folders for learners to find and self enroll. Perhaps there is a way, but I'm not sure how. I have to upload the course separately to each folder for self enrollment. I wish I could select multiple ones at once. I also am hoping for narration capabilities with the microlearning iSpring Cloud/Page services in the near future.

Pros

Support during implementation, customer service available and responsive, the fact that we start with a power point document.

Cons

The rest of the software and project is blocked when I'm working on an interaction or quiz (which opens in a separate window). Sometimes also, the interaction crashes, and instead of just closing the software, the integration was completely removed from the project, even in the source files.

Pros

iSpring Learn has made the tracking of the course suitable and there is an excellent online training.

Cons

iSpring Learn has created a swift learning option, which is flawless.

Pros

The online database from the program helps in offering learning.

Cons

The conventional assistance in matters online training is something that the developer has issued.

Pros

The product is very good, certainly the best LMS I have used in the past decade. I wanted to give a particular mention to [sensitive content hidden] who has been an outstanding customer success lead throughout the process and made deployment an easy process. I have dealt with several LMS systems in the past and iSpring has by far been the best to deal with both from a product and customer service perspective.

Cons

At times the tracking of courses can be challenging - particularly when it comes to a mixture of ILT and online courses. Perhaps this is my understanding limitations but clarity on this would be fantastic.

Pros

Easy to create online course as needed in flight crew training.

Cons

I guess we can use more of interactions or role-play.

Pros

Reasonable/fair billing
No limit for on-line content
I found this amazing when I first started using iSpring Learn in 2010. There seems to be no limit to how much content can be uploaded to iSpring Learn servers. I currently have about 10gb in the system. Other learning management systems I have used charged by the megabyte combined with number of students
Great up-time track record
It goes without saying that students must have consistent access to the eLearning system. I know of only two times during my seven years with iSpring when the system went down.
Single source for authoring (iSpring Suite) and LMS (iSpring Learn)
Completed PowerPoint presentations and QuizMaker tests can be seamlessly converted and uploaded to iSpring Learn
Unique method of classifying/managing/categorizing users in iSpring Learn
This feature is extremely important to us. The majority of our users are taking courses from career centers, community colleges, universities, and companies. As such, we do not actually facilitate classes for many of the students using our materials. With iSpring Learn, I set up an Organization for each company and school and then set up a user from the school who will act as the instructor/facilitator for the class. This person will receive all correspondences (questions, test results, assignments)

Cons

eCommerce is limited. iSpring's definition of a "Course" is just about any content item (presentation, reading material, test, assignment, etc.). My "courses" typically have 10 modules and as many as 28 lessons. Each lesson contains about 5 content items. For eCommerce, it would be better to provide access to a full course (by my definition), instead of a single content item.

Pros

I love the simple interface. Has all the features I need without the confusion.

Cons

The reports generated do not have a company logo and does not look very professional without it. Signature capture on the app and displaying that on the reports would also help with authenticity.

Pros

It is hard to know where to begin. After experiencing a frustrating year for myself and my learners with another popular LMS, I am celebrating the move to I Spring Learn. The IT support is hands down-beyond outstanding. I am NOT a designer or IT professional but a Registered Nurse by trade and reached out for help a number of times as I developed and placed over 40 hours of content in a learning path. They have your back. Patient, fast, expert help and not just while you are testing as a potential new customer. They stay at your side through it all. After a year of incredible frustration with learning content not "completing" for learners; and no answers from the previous LMS, I Spring Learn saved the day. I love how easy it is to publish professional training materials right to the LMS and how learners can proceed through content problem free. The settings are easy to navigate for both the administrator and the student; the tutorials are plentiful, concise and well done and the gamification feature adds to the fun.
Thank you I Spring for your great products. It is just so easy to succeed with I Spring!

Cons

I have to reach for this....but if I could improve it; I would add the ability to put a picture in the background of my sign in page to spice things up a bit.

Pros

Extensive reporting, user management, user interface, dashboard design

Cons

None!

Pros

The appearance of iSpring web portal is very appealing (warm and cheerful). I love how it presents the images and colors. Creating a course content is not difficult.

Cons

I struggle with the use of authoring tool, especially for develop quizzes, even after watching the tutorial video several times. (I know I still have to learn.)

Pros

This LMS is so easy to use. Uploading training and deploying to employees is a seamless process. The reports have recently been updated to provide additional detail about learners' course completion.

Cons

There is nothing I do not like about this software.

Pros

iSpring Learn is great to get new employees or even old ones to learn the nuances of any business offering tools that can allow you to use customized courses and immense forms of training, from the sales and communication department to working with new products and tools. It's truly a great service if you are in need of something that allows you to improve your worker's knowledge and ability to perform a better job.

Cons

Nothing to dislike here, training is easy and intuitive and it's presented in a clean and methodical way that you are always in reach of the information and data you need.

Pros

The support departement really takes their time to help you.

Cons

They really try to push you to their newer versions.

Pros

1) Intuitive file manager for courses and learning paths.

2) Learning paths are a nice way to outline curriculum,

Cons

1) Still struggling to use the software to access progress for "Instructor Led training", for example we are a manufacturing company, and have many employees that have to learn to operate machinery/equipment/processes "On the Floor" due to lack online training materials. We can work towards "creating training material for online consumption", but it does take time and resources to develop these. In the mean time, it would be great to use iSpring Learn LMS to manage the "learning path" of these "On the Floor" Instructor lead courses, and as importantly the instructor/trainer's assessment of the employees training in those courses. If I could figure out how to manage this I would give your product 5 Stars!! Maybe the capability is there, and I have not figured out yet how to use it.

Pros

Ease of use. Adding content in a hierarchical manner so it makes sense to the administrator and the users.
The support team is very quick to respond and answers questions in a very timely manner.

Cons

At this point it would not be fair for me to comment on "Cons" because I have not leverage all features available to me. Perhaps at a later time I would have some comments.

Pros

Easy to learn and use. Tons of features, enables us to deploy courses in multiple channels.

Cons

We have no complaints about this software

Pros

This software is reasonably priced and fits our program budget. It has an incredibly clean display that is easy for users to navigate. Many of our participants are new to online learning, so it was essential to be user friendly. We have used this software for 2 years, and have had positive experience with our participants. Additionally, it was easy as an administrator to learn and create an interactive course. We have been very happy with our investment and look forward to developing more courses on iSpring.

Cons

The reports that are produced are excellent and typically share the information we want. But since the reports are auto-generated, sometimes it lacks some flexibility in what I am looking for. I have found a way around it, but I do sometimes wish there was a bit more ability to adapt the reports.
