What do you like best? What I liked most about the software was how easy it was to use. I quickly understood how to navigate the LMS without training. What I liked even more than that was the kindness and service from Dr. Krishnan and his team. Top-notch customer support creates raving fans and that was my experience with CALF.
What do you dislike? I think Active User pricing would be helpful with reducing costs for organizations utilizing the software.

What do you like best? When I had queries, the support team were excellent in their advice, and extremely quick responding.
What do you dislike? Whilst I found CALFTM excellent to use, I was dealing with queries from a client initially with issues, and I was unable to respond without Support, who were excellent
