iSpring Learn

Vorteile

Mir gefällt die einfache Benutzeroberfläche und das Design. Der Aufbau ist logisch und die Einarbeitung in das System geht sehr schnell. Die Implementierung von externen Lerninhalten funktioniert einwandfrei & sehr schnell. Der Kundenservice ist außerdem sehr hilfsbereit & freundlich.

Nachteile

Der größte Nachteil für uns ist, dass die Software immer weiter für Unternehmen angepasst wird, die ihre eigenen Mitarbeiter schulen. Wir als Bildungseinrichtungen schulen aber externe Teilnehmende. Dadurch sind für uns einige Funktionen oder Strukturen, die im LMS implementiert sind oder ausgebaut werden, weniger nützlich.

Die Benutzeroberfläche für die Lernenden ist modern, klar & übersichtlich gestaltet. Die Navigation ist simpel und dadurch eine Hürde weniger für unsere Kunden.

Vorteile

benutzerfreundlich, übersichtlich, guter Support

Nachteile

In der Kursbibliothek werden Kurse vom Support eingefügt, welche nicht löschbar sind.

Vorteile

It does everything I would want it to and more.

Nachteile

The only downside is the cost in my opinion.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Moodle und Docebo

Gründe für den Wechsel zu iSpring Learn

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

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Absorb LMS, Moodle und Adobe Learning Manager

Gründe für den Wechsel zu iSpring Learn

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

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

The online database from the program helps in offering learning.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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)

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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!

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Extensive reporting, user management, user interface, dashboard design

Nachteile

None!

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.)

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

There is nothing I do not like about this software.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

The support departement really takes their time to help you.

Nachteile

They really try to push you to their newer versions.

Vorteile

1) Intuitive file manager for courses and learning paths.

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

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

We have no complaints about this software

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Vorteile

Estou no inicio, mas estou conseguindo publicar os cursos e configurá-los, e quando tenho dúvidas estou em contato com o suporte pelo chat on-line. Isso tem sido diariamente, e o suporte sempre resolve minhas dúvidas.

Nachteile

Ainda não descobri como criar meus próprios relatórios. Mas ainda estou aprendendo, não posso afirmar que não tenha essa opção.

Vorteile

Te facilita la implicación de los empleados con funciones como el newsfeed, el feedback, las charlas, los puntos, las medallas, los certificados y las tablas de clasificación.Te ofrece una herramienta integrada para crear cursos interactivos, evaluaciones, simulaciones de conversación y clases en vídeo, con la que puedes crear contenido compatible con el estándar SCORM

Nachteile

No tiene una versión en español, lo que puede dificultar su uso para algunos usuarios hispanohablantes .No tiene una integración directa con otras plataformas de e-learning como Moodle, Blackboard o Canvas, por lo que puede requerir el uso de otras herramientas o códigos para conectar los datos.

Vorteile

Facilité de la prise en main du logiciel, tout est intuitif, pas besoin de passer des heures à lire le manuel pour comprendre, le fait de pouvoir créer des vidéos avec indexage est génial

Nachteile

J'ai connu une version ou l'on achetais le logiciel une bonne fois pour toute... ce n'est plus possible aujourd'hui, on doit prendre un abonnement....mais cette pratique se généralise et je trouve cela dommage

Vorteile

All the flexibility I needed. Ability to create multiple learning paths and tracks with massive amount of content. ISpringsSuite was easy to use to create and publish courses nd quizzes. Truly responsive and professional support staff... always available.

Nachteile

I wish I could link this with my eCommerce site so users are automatically enrolled when they purchase the courses.

Nachteile

Vorteile

We have used iSpring Learn for almost 3 years now. The original reason we purchased the tool is the same reason we stay with the tool - it's ease of use for our learners and the administrative functions it provides for our L&D team. The completion tracking, certificate generating, and reporting functions are vital to our goal of ensuring our learners are able to access and complete their learning easily and receive the appropriate credits.

Nachteile

Like any software, there are features that don't always meet our needs. But there isn't anything we haven't found a way to work around or take the time to better understand in order to operate and manage our learning within iSpring. It's not complicated or cumbersome to administer.

Vorteile

iSpring Learn is the only LMS I have worked with, so I knew NOTHING going in! We chose it because of the success we've had with the iSpring course authoring tool, a PowerPoint add in. And iSpring Learn did not disappoint!

There are many powerful features that we do not necessarily use, as our use is for a very specific program. But it has everything we need -- and more -- to deploy high quality online training to our customers in a way that is easy and seamless for them.

Getting started with the product could not have been easier! And the support is beyond anything I've experienced! Agents are always available, knowledgeable and interested in my issues -- which are usually "how-to" kind of questions. They take their time to fully understand my question, answer it in detail, even providing screen shots and quick little screen casts if I need to "see" how to accomplish something.

Nachteile

It is so powerful, and does much more than we need. For that reason, the help docs can be difficult for me to navigate. There is so much information, and I don't always know exactly what to look for.

But a quick chat to Tech Support, and they clarify it and point me in the right direction!

Vorteile

ease of use, versatility, price, the Learning Path feature

Nachteile

would love it if it was possible to custom-design and brand the log-in page of your LMS account

Vorteile

I spring learn in combination with I spring max works really well for us. There are so many things that you can do with it and I feel like I learn something new each day which comes down to the best thing about this product is the customer service support from the tech team. I have always easily been able to reach someone and get help. Unlike other software that only has community help forums etc. The tech people are awesome and I thank them a lot!

Nachteile

There are a few rules that you need to make sure you know about saving your projects. For example not renaming anything etc. that could break the link to the folder ispring creates. Now I know and there is no issues but if you aren't careful you can loose content. Side note the tech customer service is a valuable resource whenever you need anything. That's how I learned not to rename anything and making sure I move things the correct way not to lose content.

Vorteile

What I really like the most about iSpring Learn is the integration it has with the iSpring Suite. Once I'm ready to upload my course, it's a one click button that says Publish. It can't get any easier than that! It does the conversion to reduce the file size and then uploads it.

As for what I like about I spring learn is it's very, very easy to use. It's all self-explanatory, I didn't need any help at all for doing all the basics. More complicated tasks, such as setting up a variety of groups courses for different persons may need some assistance, I'm trying to do a thing on my own. They do offer a lot, and I do mean a lot of online tutorials which are very clear and helped me do what I need to do.

Nachteile

So far, I can't say there's anything negative about iSpring Learn. It's been too easy to work with to say anything bad about it. Not kidding. I'm a one person business and I needed simplicity as I don't have time to learn a lot of coding or advanced functions. It's very straightforward and found it very easy to use. A beginner can figure it out.

We (the Institution of New Technologies in Education) discovered iSpring tools in 2013 and have been using them to organize the training process in the Continuing Professional Education field. Initially, iSpring Suite 6 was the main tool we used to create learning modules in the SCORM format and upload them to the Moodle LMS.
We have created around 500 Continuing Professional Education learning modules using iSpring Suite.
In 2016 we launched eSchool and designed more than 11000 courses for Junior, Middle and High School as well as for preschoolers.
Right now we are doing another project which involves iSpring Learn LMS incorporation into the learning process. We are developing new learning modules aimed at students who have mobile devices ' smartphones and tablets. One of the features we are excited about is offline viewing. Students download the assigned to them courses to their iPads and Android tablets using the iSpring Learn app and can view them practically anywhere even without an active Internet connection. iSpring Learn also allows us to make it possible for the users to register themselves inside the system and to take the courses gradually and for us to track their progress.
Not only we develop the courses for our students, we also build them for the teachers.
The last but not the least thing I have to mention is a high-quality tech support iSpring provides. All the issues are resolved in the most positive manner possible.

Vorteile

iSpring Learn is extremely easy to set up and start training immediately, while at the same time producing high quality engaging courses. Integrates with power point, so the learning curve is fast while allowing for customization.

Nachteile

Nothing. Very pleased with the software.

Vorteile

We searched for 2 years for the perfect software. We landed on iSpring due to the cost and features available for a corporate training environment. This has helped up become more remote, especially in a world with COVID. We have been able to track training and identify areas of improvement and even get more departments on board with the training process. I also love the iSpring takes ideas for improvements.

Nachteile

Most features are easy to use, but some of the reporting options do not provide the information needed, so we have to build workarounds in to get what we need.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu iSpring Learn

We started by just having the toolset and I liked developing courses with it so I demo'd the iSpring Learn LMS and it had everything that we needed and room to develop additional types of courses.

Vorteile

iSpring Learn is an affordable and easy-to-use solution. You don't need to be an expert to use it and you can set the solution in just a couple of hours! Thus, you can quickly offer e-Learning courses to your customers.

The users can also access to courses on their mobile devices with the app, which is a really great feature.

iSpring Suite is perfectly integrated with iSpring Learn, so you can directly publish your presentations to the LMS. That means time saving.

Nachteile

A couple of great requested enhancements: More customization features for the user portal would be very welcome as well as a sharing desktop/chat feature.

Vorteile

Integration with PowerPoint
Clean, easy to use interface
User self registration
Payments system for selling courses.

Nachteile

There is not a lot to dislike. It does everything I need. If I had to be very picky I would to be able to alert users to new Courses or to make announcements more easily. At present you can add comments to courses and learning paths, or send individual messages, but this does not alert a user who is not logged in. I can export e-mail addresses and send a mailshot, but this is a bit cumbersome. This is a very minor issue.

Vorteile

Easy to use, both for the course creator and the learner. Good price-performance ratio.

Nachteile

Customizable functionalities usually only available in expensive systems.
