Satisfied all my needs , even obscure ones :) !!

My Overall experience can be summarised in the following points : 1) Support is very great and responsive . 2) Front end of site is unique and everyone can plan their own look and feel of site . 3) Hosting authoring tool content gives me scope for immense creativity in my courses. 4) Unlimited students at no extra fee does not give me any variable subscription fee headache every month . 5) I could use my own payment gateway to accept payments and money is directly transferred to my account immediately unlike many others who transfer money after 1-2 months period . 6) Initially , I had to work hard to customise the site according to my needs as compared to what was offered by other platforms . 7) But overall , once set up , its almost zero headache to maintain the LMS .

PROS

In one word , it is their flexibility and ability to customise each account according to one's needs . My own academy built on academyofmine.com has so many unique features that they custom built for me (and very patiently :) ) according to my demands . There. That's what makes them stand apart. They give you an out of the box solution to start with and then customise it according to your needs . But besides that , these are the pros that come to my mind right now : 1) The website front end is simply one of the best and I could customise it to my heart's content . The AOM builder they provide for making the sites is just top notch ! And you can use it to make a site that is different from everybody else's . You are only limited by your own creativity. 2) Besides the regular pdf , quiz etc capability , they give you an option to even upload SCORM files ( but without tracking) built on authoring tools like Articulate , Lectora , etc . This was a very distinct feature . I had gone through at least 50 LMS services ( and I am not exaggerating ) before zeroing down on AOM and there were almost none who offered ability to host SCORM files with unlimited number of students enrolled ! 3) On that note, you can have unlimited number of students enrolled without any extra fee. They also don't charge you on sales. You keep 100% of what you earn and pay just the fixed plan subscription. 4) I can go on and on but am limited by 1490 characters limit here on Capterra.

CONS

1) Initially , I was given very few video guides to illustrate how to work with the platform . That caused problems and forced me to contact support again and again . Luckily, the support was very responsive. And I have seen that lately , they have increased the amount of these video illustrations, although I don't need it anymore. 2) Initially , it took me some time to build my LMS . Although they provided support , it was a bit daunting . But guess , a unique site at the end of it made up for it :)

Excellent platform with outstanding tech support at an affordable price

AOM allowed me to create a much more customer-friendly "front-end" website and online course platform so that customers can see an online course, buy the course, and start right away. I was also able to "tweak" things to include our in-person courses, and hybrid courses in addition to just the online courses. And, most importantly, AOM has greatly reduced time spent on the "back-end" managing administrative tasks like sales, marketing, and other customer communications. It also allows for many different user interfaces so instructors, students, and other customers can access and use the parts of the site they need without our staff's help. Last, but not least, AOM tech support has been absolutely amazing. They respond quickly and offer help until a problem is resolved. They continue to "teach" me how to do things as appropriate and other times just fix the issue if it's not something I can adjust. There have only been a few occasions where I requested a customization that was too involved for them to address immediately. Instead, they provided a reasonable quote to complete the work for us.

PROS

I like that many things have been seamlessly combined into one more manageable platform with over-the-top-great tech support (which I need and use often). We now house our website, online courses, online store, and email marketing all in one convenient and customer-friendly learning management system.

CONS

It was a steep learning curve to get setup, but they were very clear about that in the beginning AND helped me understand why it was worth investing extra time up front so that in the end we have a site that works and that I know how to customize along the way (with the help of AOM's trusty tech support team when I get lost).

Reason for choosing Academy Of Mine

AOM gave us a full learning management system at an affordable price. We still own all of our content, and have a much more dynamic website of our own with all courses. The other platforms, while some were cheaper, were pretty limited in what you could create as a real school with lots of courses. Most seem like a good place for online course newbies, but we are a company with a 30 year history and an existing customer base. AOM gave us a much more professional look as well as full support service.

Reasons for switching to Academy Of Mine

They dumped our old product (slide rocket) with almost no notice (notified us 4/30 that all online courses would go offline June 30).

Amazing Customer Service

Overall, my experience with Academy of Mine has been great. If it weren't for the customer service and website implementation team or website would look nothing like it does. We have a lot of great potential for growth and I know the Academy of Mine team will be there to help with any edits or changes we require.

PROS

Academy of Mine's customer service is amazing. There is always someone there to answer your question in a very timely manner. We have utilized them to help with the implementation of our website designs and they are always making suggestions and recommendations and go above and beyond to make sure it is what the customer wants.

CONS

The software is very difficult to use at first. Once you get the hang of it, it becomes very easier. The key is to label everything on the back-end. The software does tend to take a longer than usual amount of time to load as well which becomes frustrating when making minor edits.

Reasons for switching to Academy Of Mine

We wanted something with the ability to have online courses for healthcare providers to obtain credits.

The just-right LMS

As a company, AoM has been really fantastic to work with during our development phase. They were understanding about how slowly the wheels turn in academia, and they genuinely wanted to help us make the right choices during our evaluation of their platform. Their customer service is extremely responsive, and their developers were very helpful when we asked to integrate a new plugin into our installation.

PROS

AoM's platform is easy to set up and use, but even more, it allowed me to get more creative with our content development than I would have been able to accomplish with a more traditional LMS. By combining a solid course player/admin panel/gradebook setup with WYSIWYG page design, H5P interactives and Wordpress frameworks, AoM provides a broad range of features and functions that will work for almost any group's eLearning needs.

CONS

AoM's integration of H5P interactive tools can be great for engaging learners, but their built-in testing tools could use some additional development. For example, the platform's built-in testing tools only support multiple choice, multiple correct, and short answer questions. Also, their assignment functions are excellent, but we could use some additional control over the ways that learners interact with the assignments.

Reason for choosing Academy Of Mine

For the price and use-case, AoM beat out all of the competitors.

The best LMS all around

We were in a learning management system that was just broken. The provider was actually advertising other courses on the purchase pages for ours. AoM exceeded out needs and jumped on helping move us to their platform. Even when we have had questions or issues, they are quick on helping resolve them.

PROS

AoM has built a learning management system (LMS) around core components that meet our needs as a training provider. Even better as our needs have grown, Academy of Mine has grown to meet them.

CONS

As we began the system has a bunch of things that all work together to build the user experience. While that is one of the benefits as it is powerful, the learning curve was a bit substantial. This was made harder because most of the documentation is videos. My understanding is that AoM is adding text instructions as well.

Reasons for switching to Academy Of Mine

Teachable was advertising competing courses on our course purchase pages.

Excellent partnership and value

Customer service from Academy of Mine has been exceptional. The team (Valentijn in particular) has been quick to respond to our requests for customization, to scope out solutions, and to execute. The responsiveness and flexibility of the AOM team--essentially the service component--have distinguished AOM from every other LMS provider I've contacted and from the vast majority of vendors with whom I've worked.

PROS

The software itself is built on WordPress, so it offers numerous opportunities to customize the appearance and interface for various purposes. In addition, there's an option to support an unlimited number of users, which is appealing for organizations that anticipate a large user base.

CONS

Not all the menus for customization are easy to find or intuitive. In a similar vein, some features that might be standard or more advanced in other platforms are missing or basic in AOM. However, as I mention below, one of the great strengths of AOM's service is that their team will work with clients to customize and develop the product.

Reason for choosing Academy Of Mine

AOM's service during the sale and trial was superior to the service from other companies. That ethic of service has continued into the partnership.

Academy Of Mine: A Trusted Platform

Academy Of Mine has always remained supportive of me as a customer. Their approach has been individualized and not confined to universal approaches. I look forward to my continued business growth working with this company because of the mutual commitment to my success that exists.

PROS

There are countless platforms that can be selected to fulfill the needs of an organization. After carefully researching options, I selected Academy Of Mine as the platform with which I wanted to become aligned. There are two reasons why I have remained a customer after so many years.First of all, this company remains flexible in meeting my needs as a small business. They do not provide services according to a one-size-fits-all paradigm. Instead, they have always heard my voice and have designed services that are consistent with my business goals.Next, in designing software and services for me, Academy Of Mine has always valued maintaining a positive relationship with me. I am not just another customer that has been deduced to just another number. Instead, I have remained a partner. As a customer, I have always mattered in all phases connected to planning and implementing services. While the software continues to create high-quality outcomes for me, simply stated, I appreciate the interpersonal approach Academy Of Mine adheres to.

CONS

Any deficit that exists is with my personal technology limitations. Fortunately, Academy Of Mine has always remained available to help me.

Reason for choosing Academy Of Mine

As I searched for a provider so many years ago, Academy Of Mine promised a level of support that the other companies did not. I had multiple personal conversations with them before making my final decision. I selected them because they communicated that they cared. Even though caring is a broad word, to me it was initially equated with their desire to help me. And that was what I needed as a start-up business (and it has been what I have always needed). As I explained in my comments above, Academy Of Mine has never strayed from the interpersonal principles that caused me to select them instead of competitors.

Great Learning Management Software system for Post-secondary Schools without the high Cost

Southern Technical Institute is a Post-secondary School with three campuses located in Florida. As Vice President, I highly recommend Academy of Mine for any kind of digital/online training needs. The support team is fast to respond and always seeking solutions. The software continues to evolve to meet the demands of our company. I was a bit apprehensive about signing up originally because I didn't see many post-secondary schools, however, I am so glad that I took the chance. Worth every penny and I have never looked any other LMS software since we signed up. I have been using Academy of Mine nearly 18 months and have only positive feedback to offer. Can't really think of anything negative to say. They always come through for us!!

PROS

Love that we are able to load our own custom text, class content, and quizzes very quickly and easily. Academy of Mine is very simple to manage and pretty much runs on "auto pilot" allowing our staff to handle multiple projects at once. I really like how the curriculum content is automatically included once you do your layout. It's very simple to navigate and manage the student population and student grades. I particularly like the e-commerce ability that allows our students to register, enroll and pay directly online and we still have the ability to manually enter students as needed (all very simple). I also really like that we can "package" individual courses together to offer promotional pricing and also can easily implement coupons that are very effective for increasing our revenue. The BEST feature is the Support Team! Hands down, always reliable and always responsive to our needs. I'm amazed at how they have been so accommodating to our needs and have even done customized coding to help ensure we can offer our products in a professional and efficient manner. Oh yeah, the price is awesome! I looked at many LMS companies and this was by far the best in price and also allowed our three campuses to customize as much as we needed. Most companies force you to use a specific type of LMS downloads. We have had no issues at all.

CONS

We have come across a few "cons" in regard to the needs of Post-secondary. For example, the students grades are not in an easy print format. We typically have to copy and paste in a Word document to help get them clean and on one or two pages at most. Another con is regarding the "Group or Package" of courses can be a bit different from the individual class options. We are currently working with the support team to address that minor issue. The report system is a bit simple, so we have had to come up with a few ways to help meet those needs. But overall, the "cons" are FAR smaller than the "pros"

Flexible and Innovative LMS Provider with Excellent Support

We love the customization that AOM offers. We maintain very high brand standards and through their brilliant team, we were able to make our vision come to life. The features they offer are exactly what you need, and the clean interface means that you're not searching through menus and menus to make changes. We found AOM's platform to be easy to use as a learner and easy to manage as an admin. Team members of all different skill sets have enjoyed building content and have quickly mastered the easy-to-use course builder. With AOM's fantastic team we have built a sophisticated platform AOM has proven to be professional, accommodating and advanced from the beginning.

PROS

RE/MAX Ultimate is a full-service, real estate brokerage in Toronto, Canda that is committed to excellence and dedicated to creating exceptional real estate experiences for agents and their clients. With over 260 REALTORS, are committed to being the leaders in the industry. In this digital age, we sought to innovate the way that real estate brokerages provide training and professional development. We met with many providers but were disappointed with features geared towards massive enterprises and static content. We wanted a provider that had a clean and elegant out-of-the-box LMS, but offered customizations tailored to our userbase. When we found AOM we were pleased to have finally found a platform and team that was as innovative as our concept. Their team size and approach was geared towards advancement and they really took the time to understand our specific needs and userbase. They aligned with our goal of providing a stellar user experience and we've experienced their excellent customer service since day 1.

CONS

We have been pleased with every aspect of AOM's platform.

Great Online Course Platform

We looked at a lot of platforms before choosing Academy of Mine about a year ago. No platform had all of the features we needed except Academy of Mine. They are great in responding to technical requests the same day. We are very happy choosing them.

PROS

Packed with features, both for building comprehensive courses (course pages, discussion boards, certificates, uploadable and written assignments, quizzes etc.) as well as customization of the course platform and marketing/shopping cart tools. Also the team is consistently adding new features and making improvements. Built on a widely used CMS platoform so you get a huge user community, widgets, security updates etc. Although not as important to me, the ability to build your own webpage or store is a great benefit.

CONS

There is so much to the platform and although customer support is very good with AOM, having more platform education tools, wound make it quicker to fix small stuff without raising a support ticket. Especially for the vast array of marketing tools

I would highly recommend Academy of Mine

From 2015 to 2018, I was involved in designing and developing an online training platform for dental professionals with a company that ended up being very successful in launching a new education platform. Such developments are costly, time-consuming and very detailed work. So when I changed jobs and was put in charge of another online training platform, yet didn’t have the same financial backing as the last project, I knew I needed to find a company that offered a ‘build your own CPD business’, payment monthly and great functionality. I had many demos on different learning management platforms however, Academy on Mine (AOM)was what stood out for me, and I decided to give them a try. Firstly I noticed how good their customer service and technical support was. The AOM team was always prompt and quick to answer any questions we raised. I felt like I had a great team behind this new CPD venture. Secondly, their functionality was professional easy to use, and we have great comments from our registered users. Along with the good learning management system and the quality of training embedded in our dental business, we gain overall 98% good feedback from our customers. We have now used AOM for four years, with plans to upgrade our site features and run a very successful online training platform in the UK. We have over 23,000 registered users, and this is ever-growing. I also have another AOM site for my online training business. I would highly recommend AOM. They are always there e

PROS

Exceeding all Expectations

I have gained the freedom to build the platform I dreamt up, one that I think will be very impactful in the lives of my future clients. I cannot imagine how this could have gone any better.

PROS

The software itself has a robust functionality to accommodate almost any desired feature. And when there was something that I wanted that was not already built, I could pay for the customization and end up with whatever I wanted. I truly believe that the platform I built would run efficiently and smoothly, and that my friends at AOM are happy to share in my success and to give me a fair price for all the very high quality work they have done. So what did I like the most? In three words: peace of mind

CONS

Nothing is truly perfect, but anything that was short of perfection was certainly understandable given any industry's standard. I think this group is especially conscientious and professional and I cannot find fault with anything they've done.

Reason for choosing Academy Of Mine

The conversations I had with the founders convinced me that they wanted to help me fulfill my vision for my company and that they had the technical know-how and drive to deliver what they promised. I believe the ethical standards, honesty, and professionalism of a company will determine the quality of your relationship. And I have consistently found those things with AOM and its founders and managers.

Great Customer Support, Wonderful use of WordPress, And still scaling to meet the client's needs

The overall experience is pretty good. The customer support is superb and they go truly try to accommodate custom requests. It's a great product for anyone looking for a quick, all-in-one solution for delivery of online courses.

PROS

The integration of the software into WordPress where all of the maintenance tasks of managing a website such as security, plugin updates, load time, etc. are handled by the AOM team is what I like most about this software. Also, the initial templates and set-up provided by AOM allows a starting point where scaling up from that point is feasible. In other words, giving us something to get started with is something that I really appreciated.

CONS

What I like least about this software is the TinCan importing experience for the students. If you have a team a developers directly building in AOM, then the platform is a beauty. But if your developers are building on 3rd party tools and then importing into AOM, then the experience is not ideal. Also, another issue is the course management framework for courses that have sessions and that are not on-demand. The platform was built for management of on-demand courses and not necessarily for courses that need a parent course where other child courses need managed under that parent to accommodate rolling starts. However, this feature is getting added for our team because we requested it. Lastly, the limitations of customizing styling for those who do know how to go into the CSS and customize presents a little challenge. For example, to customize the course cards, it requires one to have a working knowledge of CSS.

Vendor Response

Thanks so much for your candid feedback! We appreciate it. Just one clarification: Advanced CSS is only required for more advanced styling; within the platform you do have the ability to access more versatile design options to style course cards and site pages. If you require more advanced CSS styling, just let us know! We're happy to do that for you as a service included in your service plan.

Excellent Customer Focus!

My overall experience has been just great with AOM. I've been able to resolve some concerns I had about changes in pricing and AOM has repeatedly demonstrated excellent support.

PROS

- Everything is completely customisable. If the customisation is not possible through the administrator functions, AOM will do the coding you require. - This means you can achieve your own look that is aligned with the rest of your company's online presence - The user interface is very good. My e-learning platform looks like a serious offering as a result. - You can not only offer audio, video and text, but also integrate powerpoint ppts and captivate/storyline. - The assignment functionality is powerful and students are able to upload their assignments - text/zip files. - The assessment functionality is also powerful - the quiz offers multiple choice and more - You will be able to create a certification based on clear assignment/quiz criteria. - Tracking student activity is an extremely useful function available with AOM - Absolutely great customer service.

CONS

- It took me a while to figure it out, but that's me! Now I'm able to create courses pretty fast!

After testing four softwares, AOM was the clear winner.

Using Academy of Mine has streamlined our business in several ways. Instead of using various softwares, we now use one for customer management, booking, client communication, and newsletters.

PROS

Academy of Mine's advantage over other softwares resides in its pricing structure, ease of customization, and customer service. We were in need of an LMS to create a program that would function differently than a traditional online course. To accomplish this, we needed several customizations, which AOM quickly completed. Our previous experience regarding development with other softwares had been extremely slow and very costly. On the other hand, the AOM development team is the most prompt and at the lowest cost we've experienced. They also have addressed every tech support question we've had almost immediately - even on weekends! This high level of customer service is not common in the software industry, and it certainly places Academy of Mine above the competition.

CONS

There is not much to dislike about the software. Our experience has been that if there is something we need to have changed, from visual to system modifications, the AOM addresses it...and most of the time, for free!
