Fantastic, reliable and supportive LMS Partner

Simply awesome. We were able to migrate from our initial trials with Teachable to being productive on PlutoLMS in short order. The Pluto LMS team have become a trusted partner in our Learning-Service startegy at learning.resilientfutures.com, and we trust and value their guidance as we grow the Learning Resilient Futures area of our business.

PROS

It's important to understand that this is a hosted service offering that goes way past just the software itself. PlutoLMS are a fantastic service organisation to partner with, with responsive support and a focus on working to meet your business needs directly or through creative viable alternative solutions. From a software perspective, it's a known experience, based on a stable, world-class, well-established platform that (as of the writing of this review) has more than 182 thousand active sites worldwide across 243 countries, including many leading universities. That's the kind of customer footprint that makes for a sound investment decision. The solution has a huge depth and breadth of capability, only really limited by your imagination as a curriculum / content developer.

CONS

As a vendor supporting a hosted SaaS solution, the PlutoLMS team need to balance what is economically supportable within their operating model with the needs of customers. This means that the addition of features through a broad range of available third-party plugin's needs to be carefully weighed against the ability to support their customers. Due to the long-lineage of the base platform, there are some aspects of that base that may be regarded at first-glance as dated: however, the incredible breadth and depth of the features provided by PlutoLMS and the stability of those features leave most of the alternative solutions that present a more modern look 'n feel in their user experience and user interface sorely lacking in functional breadth and depth. Possibly the main usability drawback is that the Content Management System used by content authors forms the base course delivery structure, and so is tightly coupled to the default user experience of the student. There are various ways to work with this / escape this constraint, which take a little research and time to learn.

Reason for choosing Pluto LMS

Based on a first-impressions preference by our instructors for the Look 'n Feel of LearnWorlds, we started an initial trial with LearnWorlds. Sadly, LearnWorlds support service was terrible, and let down what appeared to be a functionally rich product. We lost many months - the best part of 5, almost 6 - trying to get any technical support from the organisation for our $249/month Learning Center plan. Frustratingly, the first-level support was always polite and responsive: however there was either no decent 2nd or 3rd level support, insufficient capacity to support customers, and no way to escalate to get technical help. LearnWorlds doubled-down on the problem by sending RTM emails in return, bouncing tickets frequently between support staff, and proactively moving to close tickets they hadn't yet resolved. Our main struggle for those 6 months was to get support for our SSO integration - an integration for which the LearnWorlds documentation was skeletal at best, and for which there was no way to get through to speak with a technical person. We last 5 months by giving enormous slack due to the challenges of the COVID pandemic. We finally received support when we gave notice we'd terminate our plan. It then took a further 5 months to get our fee-investment in a non-working implementation refunded. As outlined above, PlutoLMS support was in contrast simply awesome: fast, robust technical knowledge with a strong outcomes-focus. The platform is responsive and feature-rich.

Reasons for switching to Pluto LMS

We were looking to migrate off Teachable to a more sophisticated, fully-featured Learning Management System (LMS). We also wanted to find a more ethical partner better aligned with our diversity and inclusion values. After an extensive review of options, we selected MyQuest, LearnWorlds and PlutoLMS as our top-three preferences that met our basic criteria. myQuest is an awesome product by a great company - it just wasn't the right fit for our specific needs for this business case. We short-listed LearnWorlds and PlutoLMS as the best investment model fit, aligned ethical values and for offering the broad set of features and integrations we were looking for.

Great understanding

My team are very happy with their experience using PLUTO. [sensitive content hidden], our support person, really does make a huge effort to be responsive and knowledgeable when assisting.

PROS

Having used Moodle before, it was refreshing getting a hosted LMS, with great support, and a fantastically curated version of Moodle for the price point. I am impressed!

CONS

At this point, compared to our experience in the past, I would have said that it's restrictive. That is by design and so I cannot see it as a con. When we had free reign on a previous LMS, the more we wanted to do, the more we broke it. Pluto are experts and the restrictions are there to enhance the usability of the LMS.

Reasons for switching to Pluto LMS

Simply because we were sold on the "bespoke" part of the LMS. Unfortunately, the platform is designed for corporations and not training institutions. We effectively broke the system with all our requested tweaks.

Versatile, stable and Reliable

PROS

The versatility and reliability, and ease of use for the users.

CONS

There is no function to report on all courses together without having to get Pluto Insights.

Reason for choosing Pluto LMS

Primarily because of the unlimited users, as this matches our pricing structure, then ability to use SCORM, and the functions and versatility of the LMS.

Reasons for switching to Pluto LMS

Because their system didn't work properly and was unreliable - so many bugs, and their support wasn't very good, particularly because of the time difference.

Good product and great service

Pluto are helping us to develop a unique product offering for universities

PROS

The underlying LMS, Moodle is quite good but as open source it needs some work. Pluto have done a great job in customising it to produce a workable and design-friendly LMS. Additionally, the level of service received is phenomenal - nothing is too much trouble for them.

CONS

Moodle is not always as flexible as I would like, although Pluto go a long way to reducing that problem. Additionally, the data analytics capability could be a lot better, although there are plugins that provide good analytics.

Reason for choosing Pluto LMS

The price/quality ratio and the personalised service received.

A frontier for e-learning

PROS

The product is easy to use and there is a lot of processes on the back-end that a product owner can change

CONS

More customization ability would be great. Especially around branching methods and how we classify users. A "by country" data point would be great in the default dashboard as opposed to having to pull a custom data report.

Reason for choosing Pluto LMS

Cost implications and the use of ease. We conducted multiple workshops, alpha and beta testing with the most diverse cohort of users relative to digital literacy and Pluto LMS was by far the most favored option. Hence that informed our decision.

Reasons for switching to Pluto LMS

The previous LMS we were using as an organization did not meet the requirements of our use case, was difficult for users to get on boarded.

Pluto LMS' LTI feature has been a key component of providing elearning content seamlessly

Our main objective in selecting an LMS was to integrate elearnings into our clients' existing LMS. We were able to do that with Pluto using the LTI feature. I'd also like to acknowledge the exceptional customer service support from Pluto in testing LTI integration and troubleshooting issues on our client's end. The wrap-around support is what has kept me with Pluto LMS.

PROS

Being able to integrate content directly into my client's existing LMS was critical to my business model. Pluto LMS has an LTI feature that allows us to integrate our elearning in LTI format which allows us to share content with our colleges and universities.

CONS

We have unique reporting needs that will require customization as we utilize branches for each of our clients.
