This LMS is an add-on to an HR suite, and as such it is not a good LMS by itself

What do you like best? Courses launch and complete accurately. It's easy to upload courses to different environments for testing and availability.
What do you dislike? The worst issue is that we cannot pull item-level reports on assessments, so there's no good way to see how people are answering the questions. The format of curricula in "specializations" is also difficult for learners to understand as it is not linear.

What do you like best? Path LMS is a very user-friendly LMS, for both admins and learners. The learning curve is very short, and the functionality is very robust. You don't need to be a technology expert to put Path to use for your organization.
What do you dislike? The course authoring could be a little more robust, and the video loading could be a bit quicker.

What do you like best? Our team loves using Path LMS because of its user-friendly interface, easy-to-build courses, and options for live web events. We recently migrated a certification course with over 10,000 participants- which was daunting- but we couldn't be happier with the end result. Users report a much improved course experience after the move, and we are happy to receive fewer customer service inquiries.
What do you dislike? The reporting capabilities are not as robust as we would like, but the company is consistently working to develop new features, so we are hopeful this will improve in the future.

What do you like best? Blue Sky team's willingness to work with us on customization that meets both our own and our clients' needs.
What do you dislike? Quality of staff support at live events can be a bit inconsistent at times; it pays to work with the same staff member once a good fit has been found.

What do you like best? Our company has been using Path LMS to host webinars for several years due to its user-friendly interface and mobile-responsive design. Our relatively small marketing team can easily work with the back-end without needing a lot of technical assistance. Reports are easy to produce and the system dashboard gives you a lot of information at a glance.
What do you dislike? We appreciate that the company is making enhancements as time passes. There is a reason that we have stayed with Path LMS for so long.

What do you like best? The Path LMS is a very intuitive platform, that is easy to use and provides great functionalities. Our users love how easy it is to watch webinars. Internally, we appreciate the add-on services of webinar moderation. And we have full access to make changes on our own.
What do you dislike? It is not a big issue for us, the newly added webinars are sorted last, rather than on top of the list.

What do you like best? The PATH admin interface is intuitive, so it’s easy to add or change content. The integration with our AMS works well. Unlike our previous LMS, PATH seems very stable--we’ve experienced no glitches or service outages. The people behind the platform are also great. The Blue Sky eLearn staff is truly supportive and invested in making our online education efforts successful. Tech support is typically very responsive.
What do you dislike? Blue Sky has already developed or is developing or enhancing features to address some of the (really rather minor) items on our wish list. I’m not crazy about the way feedback is displayed for test/assessment answers, but this is not a major issue for us.

What do you like best? I'm not sure I can think of things that others have not already mentioned (& which I agree with 100%)! From the sales process to set-up to implementation, the staff has been friendly, helpful and available. I am not a tech savvy person and the functionality is easy & intuitive. The ways I can use Path are very flexible and creative. Integration w/our AMS is pretty seamless. Our members really seem to enjoy the content we're offering. Support is ongoing and it all makes me feel like a superhero!
What do you dislike? All the things I am labeling in my head as "don't like" are actually being looked into or responded to by staff, including adding new features and functionalities (so my minus ended up a plus!). I don't like that Path can't come and do my laundry....sigh...maybe one day...

What do you like best? By far, I love the support. When we were setting it up, we had clear direction and a specifically assigned support person. As we used it (for more than two years now), we had a relationship with someone in the company, not just some miscellaneous person who got our ticket. And when we needed to upgrade, we asked for help and got another individual assigned to help us as efficiently as possible.
What do you dislike? I do wish the reporting was a little more configurable--so I could set up a report that I want to see, the way I want to see it--rather than having them be pre-set. Then again, I'm a bit of a numbers person.
