Some issues that are a bit more about the system itself than about eThink. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"eThink is a steal"

5/5

What do you like best about Open LMS?

Fast, friendly, knowledgeable response to ticket submission. No request too small or too large. They take very good care of us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

I honestly can think of no aspect of eThink's service I would want to change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Open LMS:

We had a significant academic technology staff reduction. eThink allowed us to maintain our level of customer support with fewer staff. They consistently make me look way better than I deserve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open LMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I send multiple tickets each week for a wide variety of issues. Having eThink means I don't have to be an expert in every aspect of Moodle. I can focus on other jobs and if I can't solve a problem, I send it to eThink. They almost always respond with a solution within the hour. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi Pat,

"Migrating from Moodle Cloud to Ethink"

5/5

What do you like best about Open LMS?

We are the in the process of migrating to Ethink. So far what I like best is how clearly everything is documented along the way. It's clear that the staff at Ethink have done this many times and they are clear on what parts they know and if they don't know something, they state that clearly and then research it to provide a good answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

For us the price was a bit of a shock initially, but I believe the price is fair for the value that Ethink provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi Brendan,

Thank you for your review! We're happy to hear eThink has proven valuable even in the beginning stages of our partnership. We're looking forward to providing you with a best-of-breed LMS we can continue to scale and evolve together!

"Satisfied University Customer"

5/5

What do you like best about Open LMS?

The performance after migrating to eThink has been very stable, even during the times of highest use. The response times to support tickets is stellar, with professional and knowledgeable staff. In addition, eThink support looks ahead to complete updates and perform maintenance to prevent down time, yet are still very quick to respond if there is any down time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

This really is not a "dislike", but rather a situation that users must become accustomed to. All administrative site level changes must be completed by eThink via support tickets. This can be challenging while setting up plugins or LTI integrations, however it has been pivotal in assuring the stability and security of the LMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open LMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

This University was about ready to give up trying to use any LMS, until they migrated hosting and support to eThink. There were some changes (one described previously), however everyone agreed to the fantastic performance, stability, and support improvements after the migration. That has convinced even the most resistive faculty to use this LMS. The Fall term after the migration was the first time that this University did not experience any down time of their LMS during the first few weeks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for sharing your experience with eThink! How exciting that a new and improved solution has encouraged more faculty at your institution to utilize Moodle. And we're happy to hear our Support Team is providing fast ticket-response times and plenty of knowledge and expertise - that's our mission!

"An extension of your digital learning team"

5/5

What do you like best about Open LMS?

Partnering with eThink is like inheriting a highly-skilled, extremely positive digital learning support team. They provide an invaluable extension of your digital learning capabilities at a fraction of what the cost would be if you tried to replicate it in-house. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

n/a - eThink has been incredibly responsive and provides excellent value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open LMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Moodle is a great open-source LMS platform, but it is very raw at its core. eThink not only provides the server hosting for your Moodle instance, but they will help you customize it to your institution's/organization's needs. Prior to eThink we were just utilizing the tip-of-the-iceberg functionality of Moodle; now we are more fully leveraging it to accomplish our organization's needs, and are enhancing it all the time!

Thank you for your review Matt! We're so happy to hear eThink has helped you maximize the functionality of your Moodle instance. Looking forward to continuing to enhance and improve your organization's learning programs!

"A Great Company to Work With"

5/5

What do you like best about Open LMS?

They have been a very helpful group. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to help out with an issue or a question. They were the first company to help us in connecting our SIS with our LMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

Overall I would say there is nothing I dislike about eThink. The only item I think could use a little improvement is the ability to contact tech support via phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Customer Service with a smile"

5/5

What do you like best about Open LMS?

During the latest budget cuts, I was handed the LMS Administrator duties on top of my job as an Instructional Designer. I don't even know what I would have done without the support of eThink during the transition and then moving forward. I feel like they always have my back and they make me "look good" at my institution because 99% of the time, we find a timely solution to whatever issue is at hand. The other thing I really appreciate is that even when my requests are sometimes short and curt due to my increased stress level, they always reply with positivity and friendliness. I feel like connected to my support and that makes a difference when you have such a small team at your university. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

I sometimes get caught in the middle between our SIS system and our LMS system with a lot of unuseful fingerpointing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Marisa DelBuono of Open LMS

Thank you for your review! At eThink, customer service and satisfaction is our obsession. It's an absolute pleasure of ours to support your needs and always respond in a timely and friendly manner. Please don't hesitate to reach out to eThink with any questions you might have - we hope to continue to make the process simpler, easier, and more successful for you!

"eThink is the best Moodle Host"

5/5

What do you like best about Open LMS?

Their turn around time is amazing. Most problems or questions are answer within the hour. We have a very old Student Information System at our college, it is constantly having issues and eThink helps us fix these problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

Nothing. There is nothing I dislike about eThink. Everyone I have interacted with at eThink has been terrific, technically sound and personable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open LMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Currently, Student Informations System integration, we are switching over from an old system to something newer, both the new and old SIS have issue and eThink is helping us solve these issues.

They have stabilized our Moodle services.

And are happy to help augment our Moodle platform by installing plugins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Consistent, Reliable, Flexible and Friendly"

5/5

What do you like best about Open LMS?

We made a major push in 2018 to update our Learning Management System and vendor. After comparing all requirements, we selected Ethink and the totara product. Ethink had the most flexibility and determination to meet all of our needs. After realizing they would have to custom-build an integration for us, it was quickly and effectively done.

Since launching with Ethink, we have had a massive improvement in our user experience. The totara system and ethink service team means very rare outage or issue, and a quality product. Love the reporting options and exam stability with totara.

Ethink staff are very friendly, prompt, reliable and expert in finding solutions. I was extremely happy with our implementation team. They were quick and understood our requirements thoroughly, as if they were our own. The service team is great too! Fast and friendly, effective service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

No concerns. I echo another reviewer's comment that a phone option would be great for service tickets on occasion.

Couldn't be happier with the Ethink package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open LMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had significant exam stability and system stability problems with our previous system, as well as useability issues. Ethink's totara product is very stable, easy for our users and our staff. Reporting and exporting data is a cinch. Our customized integration with the database does exactly what we need and is well-supported by the Ethink team (who built it from scratch!)

"eThink is amazing!"

5/5

What do you like best about Open LMS?

eThink is a wonderful partner. They assisted us in launching a brand new LMS so quickly in the middle of a global crisis. Moodle Workplace has helped transformed how we approach educating our members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open LMS?

It's not eThink's fault, but there is a learning curve and we are speeding around it. We have made mistakes but always appreciate the support we receive from eThink as we work through them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Open LMS:

eThink is a fantastic partner. We took a chance on eThink and Moodle Workplace as they have no other clients who do business like we do. It has been worth it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open LMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are easily able to track adoption of our programming when using the LMS. It is helping us measure our success in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
