What do you like best?
What I value most about Open LMS is its flexibility and strong pedagogical foundation. It allows us to customize the platform to our institutional model, integrate learning analytics, create engaging learning experiences, and support both faculty and students with a stable and intuitive environment. The platform has also demonstrated excellent scalability, accessibility, and continuous innovation, making it an ideal solution for our digital transformation strategy.
What do you dislike?
Some advanced configurations and customization processes could be more intuitive and require less technical expertise. Although the support team is responsive and helpful, simplifying certain administrative tasks and expanding native reporting capabilities would further enhance the overall experience.

What do you like best?
I like that Open LMS is scalable and flexible. It's built on Moodle. The cost is not as high as other platforms.
What do you dislike?
The interface can feel a bit outdated and overwhelming for new users, and some settings are buried in menus. It takes time and training before teachers and admins feel fully comfortable using the platform.

What do you like best?
I like the user-friendly interface, the ease of accessing learning materials, and the ability to track learning progress. The platform is reliable and supports effective online learning. However, I would appreciate greater consistency in the interface, as the recent functional changes have made some familiar features more difficult to locate and use.
What do you dislike?
I like the platform overall, but the recent changes to familiar functions have made navigation less convenient.

What do you like best?
I like the responsiveness of eThink. When you submit a ticket, you can choose the level of importance from "low" to "essential." Luckily, I label most tickets as "low" or "normal" priority, but with the responsiveness from eThink, you would think I was marking everything as "urgent." They are very attentive and consistent in their responses and timing. Very personable and easy to work with. You get an all-star support team from: Cyndi Bishop, Chris Pratt, Jordan DeGroot, and many others.
What do you dislike?
I do not have anything that I dislike. There might be some cases where a discussion could be more effective over the phone rather than via email, but I have not personally had any issue with that. If I had to give any constructive feedback, it might be to incorporate more of a variety of phone calls and emails, but truly, what I have experienced has been effective and addressed my support needs.

What do you dislike?
Honestly, there isn't a thing that I dislike about eThink. I have been either a client of theirs or a consultant partner for several years and I couldn't be happier. And even more importantly, my clients that use eThink are ecstatic.
Completely happy with eThink. They could charge more for their services, hopefully they won't.

I believe eThink services and support have been fantastic in the multiple years we have been using them. They answer calls and emails very promptly. Their team is proactive and equally reactive with appropriate solutions. They are also accommodating and polite, which further reinforces their phenomenal service. Using eThink hosting services is one of the best decisions our technology team ever made. I highly recommend them for any educational organization using and wanting to use the Moodle LMS.

Any complications that are connected to the internet can be hard to find due to the many related parts of the hosting service.
