"A Great Company to Work With"
5/5
What do you like best about Open LMS?

They have been a very helpful group. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to help out with an issue or a question. They were the first company to help us in connecting our SIS with our LMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

Overall I would say there is nothing I dislike about eThink. The only item I think could use a little improvement is the ability to contact tech support via phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Customer Service with a smile"
5/5
What do you like best about Open LMS?

During the latest budget cuts, I was handed the LMS Administrator duties on top of my job as an Instructional Designer. I don't even know what I would have done without the support of eThink during the transition and then moving forward. I feel like they always have my back and they make me "look good" at my institution because 99% of the time, we find a timely solution to whatever issue is at hand. The other thing I really appreciate is that even when my requests are sometimes short and curt due to my increased stress level, they always reply with positivity and friendliness. I feel like connected to my support and that makes a difference when you have such a small team at your university. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

I sometimes get caught in the middle between our SIS system and our LMS system with a lot of unuseful fingerpointing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. There is nothing I dislike about eThink. Everyone I have interacted with at eThink has been terrific, technically sound and personable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Consistent, Reliable, Flexible and Friendly"
5/5
What do you like best about Open LMS?

We made a major push in 2018 to update our Learning Management System and vendor. After comparing all requirements, we selected Ethink and the totara product. Ethink had the most flexibility and determination to meet all of our needs. After realizing they would have to custom-build an integration for us, it was quickly and effectively done.

Since launching with Ethink, we have had a massive improvement in our user experience. The totara system and ethink service team means very rare outage or issue, and a quality product. Love the reporting options and exam stability with totara.

Ethink staff are very friendly, prompt, reliable and expert in finding solutions. I was extremely happy with our implementation team. They were quick and understood our requirements thoroughly, as if they were our own. The service team is great too! Fast and friendly, effective service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

No concerns. I echo another reviewer's comment that a phone option would be great for service tickets on occasion.

Couldn't be happier with the Ethink package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

eThink is a wonderful partner. They assisted us in launching a brand new LMS so quickly in the middle of a global crisis. Moodle Workplace has helped transformed how we approach educating our members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

It's not eThink's fault, but there is a learning curve and we are speeding around it. We have made mistakes but always appreciate the support we receive from eThink as we work through them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Decent hosted platform with poor to moderate support"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Open LMS?

Blackboard Open has a great feature called the personal learning designer which allows you to automate several actions within Moodle based on events that occur in the course. This tool has been useful for delivering timely messages to students and faculty term after term, and unlocking course activities based on grade received, it has very useful features we've used regularly since first adopting them as a provider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

We've been with Open LMS since 2011 when they were originally Moodlerooms. Over that time, the support from the company degraded significantly. Frequently, issues we were having with the LMS are pushed back to us as something we were doing wrong when we clearly provided evidence otherwise. Cases will frequently go unanswered for multiple days at a time and require me to escalate them to the next level by involving our customer success manager. Blackboard's recent sale of their platform to LTG leaves us hoping that more will be invested in the case of support but that remains to be seen. The final drawback we've had with open LMS is their locked down, hashed system that is shared by multiple users. If you're looking for open access to your data, find another moodle host or expect to pay exorbitant fees to custom code a solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
