Moodle is one of the most flexible and feature-rich open-source Learning Management Systems available. I love that it allows complete customization - from course structure to user roles, plugin integrations, and UI themes. The large global community means continuous innovation and support. It's especially valuable for institutions or training providers looking for a self-hosted, cost-effective platform without compromising on features. The ability to scale and extend Moodle with plugins is a huge plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The update process could be much more streamlined. Currently, it requires several manual steps - from backing up the database and replacing core files to checking plugin compatibility. This makes regular updates more cumbersome than they should be, especially for those managing multiple instances. A more automated update mechanism or even a built-in one-click updater would significantly improve the admin experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Makes it easy to share learning materials with students Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

student access always seems to be a challenge when my community college administrators try to set up new students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's simple to use, with an easy application process and straightforward login. The interface is user-friendly, offering a variety of features, and most of them are available for free or at a low cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some features could be updated and made a bit more organized, especially on the first page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

honestly it's the ability to change the ui as per our requirements and distribute it to students and faculty Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

if an issue arises it's difficult for you to coordinate with actual development team of moodle and even tho they send mails whenever a login is made, they don't try to block unknown IP logins which they need to improve on Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Moodle is stable, a fundamental aspect for maintaining and managing courses in the long term. It is flexible, with a huge number of Addons available that have always allowed me to adapt it to different needs I had. Furthermore, an even more fundamental aspect, as it is open-source software, I was able to adapt plugins and tailor them precisely to the needs I encountered. For example, we modified the certificate issuance plugin to allow multiple automated digital signatures on the same certificate.

Also precious is the support from the community, always a partner and with interesting solutions.

A quality that is often pointed out as a weakness (I see it as a quality) is that using Moodle implies bringing into the institution the competence for its management and maintenance. A common phrase, it's not free, it's open-source, it has a significant cost to be maintained, but you have complete control over the system. You replace the phrase "the system doesn't do that" from proprietary LMS with "I don't know how to do that yet," which reveals who is responsible for the LMS resources in use.

I cannot present the point I bring here as a criticism, as I do not see how it could be improved, but it is worth mentioning. The handling and adaptation of tables is very complex, if it were possible, I would think of an interface that simplified the handling and searching of data in the tables. Generating usage reports other than those that already came by default has always been very laborious and complex.

Two other issues brought difficulties when I was responsible for managing the LMS:

1) updating to version 3 (some time ago) when it was necessary to redo a large part of the course structure (I saw this resolved in the migration from 3 to 4) and

2) The time required to back up complete courses. As I worked with courses with many images, the time for copying and backing up courses, internally in Moodle, was always very long, often longer than the time the server maintained the connection, sometimes forcing the process to be restarted.

The ease of system administration and security are points that I consider important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have no complaints about Moodle, as it serves me very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Moodle has been around for a long time, and has been popular in K-12, so many are familiar with it from prior use - making it easy to use. You can save money by self-hosting, and it is customizable, but it takes an individual with good programming skills. The care and feeding of a self-hosted Moodle takes a villiage on-site and assistance from the community. Moodle developers are open to input from users, but it takes a lot of time and persistence to make changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you need to troubleshoot a problem, and you are self-hosted, you can't just "call Moodle customer support" and get help. There are tons of forums to search through, and often, it is like searching for a needle in a haystack. There are so many options, settings, and "hidden" features that the system can feel very overwhelming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our Association is only just starting to move into the online learning space by developing our small short courses for our industry.

I knew of Moodle through hearing about other people's experience in the online learning space but I looked at a few different options to make sure I was getting the best system . I decided to sign up to Moodle Cloud as I thought this would be the best option as I did not want to spend too much money while I was teaching myself how to create an online course.

I am happy to say that Moodle had a comprehensive learning database and short courses which made it easy to learn how to use their system.

In the six months that I have been using Moodle I have successfully created two small short courses and rolled them out to members of our Association. Our Association has 37 people enrolled across the two courses which is encouraging. Of those, only two participants experienced difficulties in completing the course or navigating the online LMS.

I have had good support from Moodle when I have needed to contact them after not being able to work out a solution to a problem I kept encounting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With many tools it is hard to know when to use the right one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
