Pros
  • Customization & Flexibility Moodle’s open-source nature allows tailoring courses, roles, and settings to diverse educational needs. Reviewers praise its adaptability and extensive configuration options.
  • Feature Set & Functionality Users appreciate the robust learning tools, such as quizzes, assignments, forums, grading, content management, and integrations.
  • Community & Support Many mention Moodle’s active community, documentation, and resources as helpful. Some also highlight responsive support.
  • Value for Money Being open-source, many see it as cost-effective and a great alternative to proprietary LMSs.
  • Ease of Use (once familiar)  A smaller segment of users finds Moodle manageable and straightforward after initial learning, especially for organizing courses and assignments.
Cons
  • Complexity & Learning Curve The most frequent complaint: Moodle has a steep learning curve, especially for new users. Navigating the interface and using advanced features is challenging.
  • User Interface / UX Issues Many reviewers describe the interface as outdated, cluttered, or visually unappealing. Course creation and grading tools can feel cumbersome.
  • Performance / Workflow Challenges Users report that tasks like uploading content, setting quizzes, or grading require multiple steps and can be frustrating.
  • Technical Customization Barriers While customizable, some users struggle to achieve a polished look or specific workflows without technical skills.
  • Initial Setup / Onboarding Some reviewers note that initial configuration or setup is difficult for non-technical users.

What do you like best? Great set of features and ease of use, however, you always need some technical assistance the same with all the open-source software out there.
What do you dislike? There is not much to dislike about Moodle at all, there is a reason why they are the most widely used lms.

What do you like best? Easy to operate, develop more training videos for freshers usage. Share the software to institutions with a demo class freely.
What do you dislike? Quiz outputs after finalization must be shown to the user, either true or false mistakes with its questions and answers (if possible, the teacher needs to give an explanation to answer)

What do you like best? I like nothing about this software. It feels like the 3rd place entry to a CMS in 1999. If you run this software you're disabling your course.
What do you dislike? Clunky, Unintuitive, poorly laid out. Literally nothing about this is good. It's making my education a living hell

Buyer Beware/System Errors Won't Lead to Refund/Stuck

What do you like best? What did I like most? Well, it looks pretty but I'm not sure I can so much else good about it since the experience with the company and the product wasn't good.
What do you dislike? We tried to upload the first course but it ran out of space and the system didn't clean up the orphaned files (and the automated process wouldn't clean it up for FOUR DAYS). So when we tried to upload the course a second time it ran out of space again. Opted to purchase/upgrade to the small school plan to get to more space but uploads failed and couldn't use a single bit of it. All this in less than 24 hours from signing up. Asked for a refund. Was told no. I was shocked. Buyer beware.
