Thinkific is a purpose-built online course builder software so not only does it have all the features necessary to build and manage an online course, but also offers the ability to support students and market your courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Like all platforms, there's a bit of a learning curve with understanding how to get set up initially. There is however plenty of tutorials and courses (of course - no pun intended) to help you work your way through step-by-step. I think it's well equipped for the novice to self-learn at their own pace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the way the backoffice is organized. We work for a lot of different clients with their own look & feel and needs. We also work with multiple team members in the same backoffice, a clear process is needed here. Luckily thinkific made it easy to group all the related assets to a certain client via the 'category' option. Building courses in this tool feels very intuitive by simply using the courses & their learning activities. I feel like there are enough learning activities for us to do the job. We mostly use the text, download & video lesson. Launching modules goes via the drip schedule which makes launching modules automatic from now on.
Thinkific also has a nice e- commerce feature. It makes it easy to sell the courses & the login creation.
This LMS system was easy to learn, even for our non-digital colleauges. It is helpful that you can assign certain roles to users. We have different teams working in Thinkific. Based on the tasks they have to do, we give them a certain role in Thinkific. This was helpful to not confuse the colleague with an overload of projects they are not involved in & to keep a clean backoffice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In the beginning there was a learning curve. Header & footer are domain based, which is a bit unhandy for us since we build platforms for different clients. But ok, not a big deal, there are other ways to customize your platform.
We have some specific cases when adding certain role to users (for example externals who want to check a course that is not ready yet). We miss some AI features.
There is not much data you can track: f.e: how many time did a participant spend on this page, when do they usually log in? I feel like the 'analysis' part can still improve.
We don't use the 'theme library' a lot since we have different clients in 1 backoffice. 1 change here would impact all our projects (for different clients). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Thinkific has everything you need in a Learning Management System or Learning Business Solution. It has tools and integrations for small or enterprise businesses.
I like the fact you can build end to end funnels and marketing campaigns to promote and sell your content. All authoring tools are easy and you can get immediate feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
From an enterprise solution, I think there are parts of the API that could be improved and a more robust user administration to log in as a specific user to help troubleshoot their experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Well, I'll attribute it to the exciting feature of the Thinkific extension that's present in the Plus LMS. Especially the Learning Path feature, it really made it very easy for me to build different course modules into a single bundle and making each course module a prerequisite to the next one before a learner is able to acquire certificate. And i found myself frequently using this feature to build more course bundles with ease. It's really the ease of implementation for me.
Big ups to the Thinkific Team for thinking out of the box to come up with this fantastic solution.
And you're also doing well in terms of customer support efforts, because the support staffs are usually just an email away. I remember when I strugling to add some file types to my course, then I reach out and the support I got was topnortch. It's also the ease of integration of different file types into the courses.

There's no inbuilt adequate information or guide on how to navigate most of these features.
More can be done in this regard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The level of customer support we have received is unmatched! We are currently migrating from an old LMS and integrating with Thinkific - they have been there for us every step of the way! I cannot speak more highly about their wonderful team of professionals who have make us feel confident and at ease with our decision to switch over. We are very excited to get started with Thinkific and looking forward to using this platform! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
So far, there is nothing I don't like about Thinkific Plus! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's so easy to use! The platform is very user friendly and creating both courses and landing pages is very intuitive. We also installed Rob Galvin's PowerUps which gave us more possibilities to create really beautiful landing pages that match our brand.
The Thinkific customer success team has also always been very helpful and reponded very quickly to all our questions and inquiries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It was a bit difficult to manage multiple languages within Thinkfic. It required us to create one site for each language, but since it wasn't possible to copy the content from one site to another, it required a lot of manual work to set it up and maintain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I appreciate the customer service communication and timing. Easy to user and very user friendly. Implementing integrations is easy for some apps. I contact Thinkific support frequently as you develop more and more features while we test your enhancements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would recommend having your new support reps to take a full extension training on how your platform functions. The less back n forth and for some to know when to push the issue to higher technicians to help resolve the problem sooner rather than later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love Thinkific Plus for its easy customization, letting me fully brand courses. The platform makes it simple to track student progress with detailed reports and is just simplistic and intuitive to use. It integrates smoothly with other tools, and offers great support! I love How easy it is to create a course, I love the advance reporting and analytics that are offered. I'm a huge fan of the seamless integration that will integrate all of our information into Salesforce. All the way around I was greatly impressed with the trial and the product itself.

I think that Thinkific Plus is a powerful and feature rich platform. I didn't have a lot of drawbacks and that is probably dependent On my specific role. In comparing Thinkifix Plus to our current LMS, it feels as everything is a plus and improvement., So at this time, I don't have dislikes to mention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Despite not having worked with this software before, I have found it both easy to use and easy to implement. I have also felt supported by my CSM during this learning process and as my organization has made tweaks to our online courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
To be fully transparent, I feel strongly that this is an accessible tool, and haven't experienced any areas that I actively dislike or found challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Thinkific Plus gives a lot of great templates and snips from which content editors can pull from, making the ease of implementation a smooth process. The customer support we have received so far with setting up our courses has been very helpful. When our Customer Success Manager doesn't know the answer to something, she is eager to reach out and find the answers we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Thinkific does not offer a sandbox or dev environment where you can see code or content edits and draft those changes without them going live. Once a landing page or course is live, you need to push any additional edits live if you want to see how it looks. This does not allow for proper QA. While using videos for our courses, we are also running into data limitations, such as being unable to collect proper data on how the videos perform. Our company is trying to put out new content every week so it is essential we have the right data to keep us going in the right direction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Plus, the advanced analytics provide valuable insights into engagement and progress, helping us continuously refine our offerings. Thinkific Plus enables us to deliver a top-notch, professional training experience that meets our growing audience's needs. We are still in the early stage of implementing but so far so good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While Thinkific Plus provides many useful features, we’ve found the language barrier and content management to be challenging. For Cyberimpact, delivering a seamless multilingual experience is crucial, yet Thinkific's language customization is limited. Key sections like course content and custom text require manual translation, adding to our workload. Additionally, managing multiple languages often means creating separate sites, which can complicate content management and consistency. Improving these areas would make Thinkific Plus an even better fit for companies like ours that prioritize a high-quality, accessible experience for all clients. As a french speaking province its always a bit of a struggle to have something really well done biligualy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
