"Moodle great Open-source LMS but Needs FTE Developer"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Moodle?

I really like the customization options Moodle provides and the wealth of plug-ins from the open-source community. LDAP configuration is easy to implement for central authentication, and connections to various Virtual Meeting platforms too! Also great is the ability to provide hyperlinks directly to course page modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Moodle?

The age and fragility of the platform require care and knowledge; beyond most beginning implementers. You really need a Full-time Back End developer to support Moodle, and a Full-time Front-end developer while building the customizations. And while course-specific reporting was great, site-wide reporting was very poor and required custom tools to be developed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Moodle:

Budget for a Full-Stack Developer to be a Full-Time Employee on the Moodle site team who is VERY good with Python and the host OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our company needed a quick and easy-to-implement Learning Management System to provide and track learning across the organization. It had to support in-person and remote learners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
