"It's very easy to design content and create training models within the app, so you don't always have to use a third-party tool to develop your e-learning."
"The plug-and-play format can be deployed immediately which is unlike its competitors that take three to four months."
"Its user interface is quite good. The platform is quite user-friendly. The UI/UX of the platform is very advanced, which helps in getting the users interested in the training."
"Litmos has an excellent user interface. It's well designed and intuitive. It also has a great content engine. I'm one of the admins, so I create content in the system and use that to produce courses. We make our own training content and credit records. They recently added a new feature called the Course Content Creator, and I'm a big fan. I also like that Litmos lets you record online and face-to-face training so you can create what they call Instructor-led Training Events (ILT)."
"Its pricing is good, and its performance is good when it works."
"There is a couple of good features available, you can customize the dashboard, CSA, and home page. You can customize the solution to your business standards. SAP Litmos offers a library of 2,500 plus courses to premium members. They have a good library of pre-built courses. It's a variety of soft skill courses including management, and marketing. You can offer these courses to your students, which is excellent."
"This is a very scalable solution. We had over 10,000 students in our instance and their billing model makes scaling affordable to do."
"It incorporates the majority of the elements."
"The learning features are great."
"The interface is really friendly, and the training embedded in it is very easy to use, explore, and search. The catalog is pretty strong."
"It is a very stable tool. It is the most stable security application."
"Safety is the most robust aspect of this platform."
"The best feature of SAP SuccessFactors Learning for me is the assignment profile. It's a rather specific feature, but this is what comes to mind."
"I find the user interface user-friendly compared to the initial application."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Cloud Solution enables accessing the system from the internet, with no need to be within the company network."
"The solution lags in defined security parameters with only three predefined roles available."
"The reporting could be improved. When we first subscribed to Litmos, it had a great reporting engine, but SAP altered it. Some of the changes have reduced the ability to extract reports from it. It's excellent for live data, but it can be tricky when I want to get a report."
"They can really improve in the reporting area. While doing sessions, there are various types of reports, such as the attendance report or assessment report. We can export the Excel dump of the report, but it is not that neat and clean. You have to change it a lot. You can customize the Excel dump as per your requirement, but it is not that user-friendly in terms of the admin part. They can do much better. They have room for improvement in the reporting area."
"The auto-assign feature that auto assigns courses to learners and puts them into a different learning path has had a bug for the last year and a half. My team has spent numerous hours trying to troubleshoot and fix that, but it's still broken. Until they fix that, it's going to be a higher admin burden for people to manage."
"The reporting function of SAP Litmos needs major improvements. The reports are not at par with other solutions on the market. It's not user-friendly or effective reporting which we can retrieve from other places."
"One feature that a few of my clients have been requesting is CPD. We should be able to capture CPD points for users within the system to be able to report on those."
"Lacks a variety of language options."
"You cannot make a course optional, so if I assign a course to someone, the system assumes that they have to complete it."
"This solution does not support right to left for the Arabic Language, and the Arabic text support is very bad."
"There is room for enhancement in their core HR system, Employee Central."
"I am talking about SAP in general, so there are multiple screens that you have to go through, and it takes some time to get used to it."
"The application integration between cloud and on-premises storage has been completed. However, there is still room for improvement in integrating EC and SAP applications."
