Moodle Reviews & Product Details

What I like about Moodle is that it makes learning and managing study materials easier and more organized. I can access my notes, assignments, quizzes, and other learning resources all in one place, without any confusion. I also appreciate being able to learn at my own pace and check important updates whenever I need to. The interface is convenient and easy to use, and it helps me stay on top of my learning progress as well as my deadlines. Overall, Moodle makes the learning experience more flexible, organized, and accessible for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes Moodle’s interface feels a bit complicated and not very user-friendly, especially for new users. It can take a while to locate specific notes, assignments, or other important information, and the navigation isn’t always as straightforward as it could be. At times the platform also feels slow, and notifications or updates aren’t always very clear. Overall, I think the design and navigation could be improved to make the experience simpler and smoother. It would also help if the mobile experience were more convenient. Moodle is definitely useful for learning, but I feel it could offer a better overall user experience.

Moodle is a very helpful LMS tool for many businesses and services that want to set up their own learning platform. The best thing is that it’s an open-source LMS model, which is especially helpful for small businesses that are in a growth stage but working with a tight budget.

For example, I have a client who is a well-known teacher in our local area, but he had limited time and space. We helped him build a learning platform where he can upload lectures and assignments, monitor student progress, and manage the course more smoothly. Earlier, he used to handle everything through a WhatsApp group, and new students didn’t get a structured solution.

Another great part is that it’s not just for video courses. It also includes monitoring, attendance, MCQ tests, and assignment options. It’s also good that it has discussion forums, so it’s not only one-way communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its user interface is not very attractive. Although it has many options, it could be better.

My client complain that students have difficulty navigating through the course, and I keep getting messages like, “Sir, where can I find this PDF, that video,” etc.

The onboarding process is complicated for new users who are not technically sound.

Sometimes it also has connectivity issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how organised everything stays in one place. I can upload my lab experiments and assignments after each lab, track deadlines, and check my marks on the portal once teachers grade them. I don’t have to worry about losing files or handing in papers, and teachers can access my submissions easily. It keeps things transparent between teachers and students without manual confusion. The assignment upload and marks sections are the most useful for me. Getting started was easy too: I signed in through the browser with the login my college gave me, saw my courses, and started uploading without setting anything up myself.

I sometimes have the page reload during ISE quizzes when many students are using Moodle at the same time. It may reload more than once, which is stressful during a timed quiz. I don’t notice this regularly when uploading assignments, and I’m not sure whether it’s the college server load or Moodle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy access to course materials – Students can access learning materials anytime and from anywhere. Integration with other tools – Moodle can be integrated with external learning tools and services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can be difficult to navigate – Course structures can vary significantly between teachers, which may confuse students. Inconsistent course design – Each teacher can organise their course differently, making it harder for students to find materials and assignments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having the ability to use off the shelf standard trainings and create our own has been a perfect blend to meet our employee needs. We can roll our a basic fire safety training and then supplement with customized and targeted trainings to different departments and locations. Their helpdesk has been super quick to answer all of my questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They have amazing options for creating content using H5P. There are two content types - branching scenario and interactive video have had some glitches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Moodle has many advantages: it is a mature LMS, with many years of development, and it is also the most used LMS in the world. This means there is a large community of support and development around it. You will almost always find someone to help you, some reference video, and very well-developed and consolidated documentation over the years.

This maturity also means that practically everything is covered, and that the platform is flexible and adaptable to different scenarios. Being Open Source, it has no licensing cost. It has more than 2300 plugins developed by the community, which allows for additional integrations and functionalities to be added to the core.

Starting from version 4.3, integration with different AI providers is already included, and more and more plugins are appearing to meet different requirements with the help of AI. Finally, being Open Source, it offers great possibilities to customize the interface design and adapt it to the needs of the institution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being such a complete and flexible LMS, there is a learning curve that is not exponential, but it is long if one wants to master the tool thoroughly. On the other hand, being Open Source, its installation is not difficult; however, it is not easy to implement the correct infrastructure, especially on large platforms, for example with more than 5,000 users. A poor configuration can considerably decrease the platform's performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a very complete system that should be able to do almost anything someone needs in an LMS solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Applying updates to the software and plug-ins. I wish that was more streamlined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Moodle is a powerful, flexible open‑source LMS that we can really adapt to our institutional needs instead of adapting our practices to the tool.

More specifically, I appreciate that:

The overall architecture is very modular, with plugins for almost everything (question types, activities, reports, integrations), so we can extend it instead of changing platform every few years.

It offers rich pedagogical features out of the box (quizzes, assignments, forums, workshops, rubrics, learning analytics, competencies) that support both traditional and more innovative teaching approaches.

Being open‑source, Moodle gives us control over data, updates and branding, which is important in a public higher‑education context.

The large community (plugins, documentation, forums) makes it easier to find solutions, good practices and examples from other institutions similar to ours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that Moodle can feel complex and sometimes inconsistent for end users, especially new teachers who have to navigate many settings and configuration options.

More specifically, I find that:

The overall interface and UX still look a bit dated and cluttered compared to some newer LMSs, which can discourage less tech‑savvy users.

Some configuration pages and advanced settings are scattered and not always intuitive, so admin and support work often involves a lot of “where is that option again?” time.

Because it is so feature‑rich and extensible, it can be hard to maintain a simple, coherent experience when many plugins and customizations are enabled.

Major version upgrades sometimes require careful testing of themes and plugins, which adds overhead for administrators and can delay access to new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Moodle simple to use and navigate the course. I like the simplicity of course delivery. It highlights key facts and helps me understand better. I also found the initial setup quite simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’d like Moodle to use more visuals in some highlights, with animations instead of live, and make lessons interactive so I can answer yes/no questions directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It displays the course units in the center of the course home page, which looks nice and makes the layout feel more visually balanced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using rubrics for grading isn’t as accessible as it is in other LMS systems, such as Brightspace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
