What do you dislike about Moodle?

Performances are a N I G H T M A R E . . . As it is always the case with php , it's good for small to medium use case but does not fit " bigger " cases. Also community only support certain db forget it if you use oracle for example . The setup uses huge amount of R A M and is really hard to scale properly . Needs a lot of bare metal. sys admin ar e not happy about it . Really poor S . C . O . R . N . support . It is really hard to import data from other courses.

What problems is Moodle solving and how is that benefiting you?

E-learning courses for small to medium installation. We are giving about 300 courses reaching more or less 7500 students . They are quite happy with it but our system administrators are not . We give courses to users that logs in using ldap and get to see only the courses they can attend to Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
