What do you like best? The assistance provided by the Nimble team was top-notch. Their support team is always responsive and gets back to us with a solution to the issue we are facing.
What do you dislike? There are some limitations when it comes to the layouts but nothing else to mention in this section. Love their analytics and how easy it is to work with both their LMS and course authoring software.

What do you like best? Their software is extremely easy to use and I love how intuitive it is. If you are on the market for an LMS with a great authoring tool, then Nimble provides you with just the right tools.
What do you dislike? I can’t really think of any cons so far and this is a product suite that we have been using on a daily basis for the past 2 years. Guess that says it all.

What do you like best? One of the things I love the most about Nimble is that it requires minimal effort and no prior experience to have a course up and running within days. Learner progress reports are fantastic as well as their client support team.
What do you dislike? The layouts, as well as the general feel of the platform is quite out-dated. This is not a serious issue or anything, but having seen other similar platforms, this is an area they should invest in the future.

What do you like best? I adore the ease of use, the price-tag behind it - which is value for money to say the least- and their awesome analytics.
What do you dislike? You can’t expect it to do miracles, there are other software companies out there to help you with that, but for its price and features it’s really a goldmine.
