Very good technology \& over all an amazing platform to quickly learn > > **Cons**: I would rate the over all experience as great and did not have any issues. > > It is an interesting tool which has helped me train and form networks ----- ### "Meets our needs" — 5.0/5 > **Daniel** | *25 January 2022* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Totara is flexible, customisable and allows us to provide staff training the way we want to. > > **Cons**: Past decisions (especially around the design of appraisals and certifications) have meant that the product isn't able to meet our needs as fully as we might like. ----- ### "Good features, but difficult setup" — 2.0/5 > **Lenka** | *1 November 2016* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Features, support > > **Cons**: Configuration of the features, unstable roadmap and release of new versions / features is taking a long tome > > Functionality of the product is good, but some features are very cumbersome to set up. This is improving continuously improving from one version to the next, but some areas eg. Learning Plans still have lot to be desired. ----- ### "Great customisable Learning Management System" — 5.0/5 > **Stephanie** | *14 April 2021* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It can do everything you expect an LMS can do and is customisable. > > **Cons**: It would be great if it had an observation activity for practical tasks that the 'observer' could completed on behalf of the learner. ----- ### "Feature rich and open source vs Complex handling" — 4.0/5 > **Christian** | *15 November 2016* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Open Source Great standard features Many possibilities of how it can be used > > **Cons**: Poor Documenation (on the technical side) Missing important settings in detail (advanced use of features) Design not very user friendly (blocks overload) > > As a consultant for Totara LMS I would totally recommend Totara to other customers. In short... The Downside: - Very complex to learn for people who do not have any technical understanding - Usability very low because of too complex site-structure and permission management - Design very simple and overloaded with blocks, nobody knows what they are for in the first place - Documentation partially very poor, especially when it comes down to programming and adding advanced features - Many useful features are still lacking some important settings for establishing real logical learning workflows The Upside: + Very rich of standard features that make it easy to establish simple learning workflows + Open Source let the system be flexible by adding your own plugins and adjusting the system core to your needs + Great support in fixing bugs and advancing the system with new features (Evergreen) + Continuous Development All in all I would say it still needs some improvement, although I know that some requests are not as easy to programm as it might seem in the beginning. It is still a great tool, that can though still be adjusted to whatever someone likes it to be. If you have on the one side people who see the potential of TotaraLMS and have a great idea of how it can be used and on the other side people who can develop within that system, you can accomplish great things and have tremendous success by offering that tool to customers. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/25999/totara?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/25999/totara) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
