LMS365 is ok for any training needs
It allows to manage all the company training, not only online but also classrooms, so you can have all the information regarding you workforce skills in one place. It is very useful for compliance training (GDPR, and so on) as it traces if people have read and aknowledged documents with company policies and rules and if they have passed quizzes focused on those kind of topics.
PROSThis platform is so full and well integrated with Office 365 that seems to be natively part of it. The implementation is smooth and simple and training features evolve at the speed of the Cloud to take advantage of all the new stuff that is costantly released by Microsoft. It can also be accessed by external users of the Organization with no need a Microsoft Office 365 license.
CONSSometimes the system could be perceived as a little bit slow in terms of peformances, but that hasn't a real impact on its effectiveness.

Great option for your LMS!
LMS365 is easy to use and integrates seamlessly with our Microsoft Office 365 products. It is great to be able to share or feature courses right in a Teams environment, and because our learners already know SharePoint, navigating the LMS doesn't have an additional learning curve.
CONSWe had an issue shortly after deployment where our entire learner list was deleted by IT. Although this was a user error on IT's part, it was difficult to get hold of our LMS365 customer support and they weren't able to explain HOW or when the error had occurred, so it made it harder to fix the problem.
Reason for choosing LMS365
The price was within our budget, but the ease of use and integration with Microsoft Office were the key deciding factors.
Reasons for switching to LMS365
CSOD was getting more and more expensive and was not user friendly as a learner. In addition, from an Admin standpoint, Cornerstone was difficult to maneuver. When a SCORM package was updated, for example, the associated course in a learning path wouldn't update with it, and it would start showing an "inactive" error message on that course.

Initially excited, but overall disappointed
We were excited to introduce this tool into our environment, and while there are some big benefits (quick course setup, administration is easy), there are detractors that outweigh the benefits. Completing courses takes too long for employees, they are forced to go back in time and time again, because of the way that the systems completes courses. Support has been unable to identify the issues and their only solution is to move to the cloud (not a viable option at this point).
PROSThe application provided for an on-premise solution, which our organization was very interested in.
CONSLatency, freezing, course completion is spotty. It's not meant for an organization of our size.
Vendor Response
Dear Kathy. I'm Lars Vestergaard, CEO of ELEARNINGFORCE, the makers of LMS365. I'm very sorry to learn that you've experienced problems with our On-premises version. We'll do whatever we can to fix this. This review is placed under our Cloud SaaS solution, which is an entirely different product from the one you have, running On-premises. As such, I would ask if you would consider removing it? We'll mark it more clearly that this is our Cloud offering, unrelated to running our SharePoint LMS on-premises.

Glad we made the change!
My overall experience has been fantastic. I love the regular webinars that demonstrate the functionality of the system and provide tips and tricks.
PROSHaving an LMS system which is fully integrated into our Office365 tools and directory has been a game-changer. Previously we used an open-source LMS without Office 365 integration, which made enrollments as well as incorporating existing document and media into learning modules cumbersome. Integration with our user directory as well as our content stored on OneDrive / Sharepoint is a breeze.
CONSI’m entirely satisfied at this point. I wish that the Course Catalog could be organized and displayed by category, but I’ve found a workaround for this.
Reasons for switching to LMS365
We were looking for greater integration with our existing network and software tools.

LMS365 can fit basic needs with O365, mid/advanced customers will need extensive Microsoft licensing
LMS365 is an exercise in contrasts. Deployed on Office 365, in SharePoint, traditionally a platform favored by organizations with limited technical resources (granted, O365 has seen incredible gains during the 2020 pandemic). You can deploy the solution simply with minimal licensing. Yet, LMS365 assumes that medium to advanced customers will have extensive Microsoft licensing in Azure Active Directory and Power BI . In addition to posssesing expertise in Power BI and AAD dynamic group management, those types of customers will require Power Automate Cloud experts. Then there is the eLearningForce design philosophy which might be described as inflexible. The product is developed in Europe, and the expectation that you'll have a highly educated workforce with downtime to manage their own training is clear. The interface is incredibly clean, but sometimes to a fault, as options hide themselves. On higher resolutions you might overlook them completely (such as filter options on the Learner List or switches on Course Completion Sets). Customer Support is a bright spot here, with their global team fielding questions quickly and thoroughly. Yet, there isn't much in the way of support for implementing the other tools you'll need. There is only the most basic supporting documentation for using Power Platform with LMS365, which for some customers will be an absolute requirement. Most documentation for extending the platform is developed by customers for customers, such as myself.
PROSThe initial cost is low and the integration with Office 365 makes implementation fairly painless. An easy fit for organizations that have basic needs, or medium to advanced users with Azure Active Directory P1 or P2 and Power BI Pro/Premium (Embedded is not included) or E5 Office 365 licenses (plus the expertise in delivery of these solutions as well as SharePoint & Power Automate Cloud flows). This is especially so if you are extensive users of Teams and have additional solutions to integrate into a complete solution. eLearningForce has some truly impressive case stories. eLearningForce make changes frequently, recently moving from 8 to 6 week cycles, and many of these improvements are for Teams integration.
CONSFor organizations that have basic AAD and Office 365 implementations that need features of a complete LMS, then LMS365 might be a frustrating choice. There is no audience or smart groups here, group assignment relies on AAD entirely. Exception reporting relies on Power BI, as the system reports are extremely limited (Supervisor is not included in any report, for example). You'll be turning to Power Automate Cloud for workarounds frequently as well. The interaction & cooperation with customers has dropped considerably in recent months. The departure of the COO/co-founder seems to have a correlation in this regard. Gone are UI pilots and the more recent patches lacked previews of UI changes. Bug fixes and 'feature requests' are not delivered in a timely fashion.
