### ILIAS - Multifunktional

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Denis S.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Education Management
- Company size: 51-200 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: April 2024
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Wir sind sehr begeistert von ILIAS und auch der Möglichkeit uns selbst in die Entwicklung einzubringen.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

ILIAS ist extrem vielfältig und bietet für viele verschiedene Lernanlässe die passenden Tools und das On Premise und somit unter eigener Datenhohheit.

#### Cons

Der Einstieg ist aufgrund der großen Vielfalt recht komplex. Man muss am Ball bleiben und braucht genügend Personal, welches sich damit auskennt.

#### Reasons for choosing ILIAS

ILIAS hat uns besser gefallen und ließ sich besser betreiben.

### Self-paced learning system with authoring tools

- Overall rating: 3/5
- Reviewer: Verified Reviewer
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Information Technology and Services
- Company size: 1001-5000 employees
- Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months
- Reviewed: December 2022
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

The authoring tool provides everything you need for the management of content directly on the platform. You can create user groups to enhance internal networking and transform video tutorials into effective online learning courses. It also provides features for organizing and managing tests and evaluations on courses with final certification for users following a self-paced learning course.

#### Cons

If you can read German, then you have lots of documentation. Not everything is translated. When users edit a competence profile, it is difficult for them to keep track of their progress. and they have no means to know when they have fulfilled a profile. Sometimes the PDF generated has errors.

#### Vendor response

ILIAS is self paced only if programmed accordingly. While it is true that most documentation is in German, there are plenty of expert service provider outside Germany that can support you in other languages. The Portfolio function allows user to see what they edited in the competence profile.

Wir nutzen ILIAS an der katho seit über zwölf Jahren, die Plattform hat sich als Standard für Lehrangebote etabliert. ILIAS stellt einen Kern an relevanten Funktionen zur Verfügung, weitere Software (Videotelefonie, Plagiatscan etc.) integrieren wir laufend mithilfe von Plugins. Insgesamt ein hochflexibles und empfehlenswertes System.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Die Anzahl der Lernmöglichkeiten, die flexible Anpassbarkeit, die Kurs- und Lernverwaltung, das Rollen- und Rechtemanagement, die umfangreichen Module zur Durchführung von Prüfungen.

### Seit über 20 Jahren überzeugt von ILIAS

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Johanna B.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Higher Education
- Company size: 501-1000 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: July 2024
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Wir nutzen ILIAS an unserer Hochschule seit mehr als 20 Jahren und sind überzeugt von diesem Lernmanagementsystem. ILIAS bietet zwahlreiche Funktionen zum kooperativen Arbeiten im digitalen Raum, für die Durchführung von E-Prüfungen und die Organisation von Kursen, erleichtern unsere Lehre erheblich. Datenschutz und -sicherheit sowie Barrierearmut sind in den vergangenen Jahren noch wichtiger geworden. Gerade in diesen Bereichen sind wir mit ILIAS sehr zufrieden.

#### Cons

Die Usability ist bei manchen Objekten nach wie vor umständlich. Für optisch angsprechende Kurse und Inhalte ist eine gewisse Erfahrung notwendig.

### ILIAS 10 aus der Sicht eines neuen Anwenders

- Overall rating: 3/5
- Reviewer: Daniel B.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Renewables & Environment
- Company size: Self-Employed
- Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months
- Reviewed: October 2025
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Habe es noch nicht vollumfänglich an´s laufen bekommen. Arbeite da noch dran weil ich an den vorgenannten Punkten gerade keine "hänge".

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 2/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 2/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Der Funktionsumfang innerhalb des Systems. Es gibt sehr viele gute Einstellungen die für eine Lernsoftware sehr gut und wichtig sind.

#### Cons

Die Art der Installation und Konfiguration. Das es für die Installation kein Web Frontend gibt wäre an für sich o.k. aber es werden so viele Abhängigkeiten benötigt die separat installiert und verknüpft werden müssen macht es sehr schwer für neue Anwender das System überhaupt an´s laufen zu bringen. z.B. das JAVA Server einbinden um Teilnehmerzertifikate zu erstellen ist schlimm. Oder auch dsas hinzufügen von Plugins. Da sollte man sich ein Beispiel an Wordpress z.B. nehmen.

#### Reasons for choosing ILIAS

Wegen der Freiheitsgrade es selbst installieren und Konfigurieren zu können.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5

#### Pros

Ab ILIAS 7 sind individuelle Design-Anpassungen toll zu realisieren. Mit wenig IT-Kenntnissen können Tutoren ansprechende Seitenoberflächen in Kombination mit den pädagogischen Objektbausteinen gestalten.

#### Cons

Dass es nach wie vor nicht so bekannt wie Moodle ist, was eigentlich verwunderlich ist.

### ILIAS als Lernplattform für eine Hochschule

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Arne K.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: E-Learning
- Company size: 1001-5000 employees
- Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: April 2024
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

ILIAS ist ein sehr mächtiges Tool, das sich zwar nicht an den allerneusten UI Standards im Web messen kann, aber es ist solide und es existieren viele Supportfirmen, Anwender, Plugins und auch Content, der zum Einsatz gebracht werden kann. Es gibt eine sehr aktive Community.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Ein ausgezeichnetes Tool, in dem Nutzer Content nutzen und erzeugen können und das sich für elektronische Prüfungen eignet. Einfache unternehmensweite Bereitstellung von Content. Die Nutzung der Kurse selbst ist einfach und gut. Es können auch Zertifikate für die Teilnahme und Abschluss automatisch erzeugt werden, ebenso wie Lernfortschrittskontrolle.

#### Cons

Der Einstieg in ILIAS ist kein Selbstläufer. Es wird eine Schulung empfohlen. Die Administration von ILIAS erfordert etwas Erfahrungswissen. Das Rechtesystem in ILIAS ist sehr mächtig und läßt viele Szenarien zu, was es ideal für Unternehmensanforderungen macht. Es braucht aber auch mE mindestens eine halbe Vollzeitstelle technische Betreuung
