Moodle Pricing Overview

Moodle is stable, a fundamental aspect for maintaining and managing courses in the long term. It is flexible, with a huge number of Addons available that have always allowed me to adapt it to different needs I had. Furthermore, an even more fundamental aspect, as it is open-source software, I was able to adapt plugins and tailor them precisely to the needs I encountered. For example, we modified the certificate issuance plugin to allow multiple automated digital signatures on the same certificate. Also precious is the support from the community, always a partner with interesting solutions. A quality that is often pointed out as a weakness (I see it as a quality) is that using Moodle implies bringing competence for its management and maintenance into the institution. A common phrase, it is not free, it is open, it has a significant cost to be maintained, but you have complete control over the system. The phrase "the system doesn't do that" from proprietary LMS is replaced by "I don't know how to do that yet," which reveals who is responsible for the LMS resources in use.

I cannot present the point I bring here as a criticism, as I do not see how it could be improved, but it is worth mentioning. The handling and adaptation of tables is very complex, if it were possible, I would think of an interface that simplified the handling and search of data in the tables. Generating usage reports other than those that already came by default was always very laborious and complex. Two other issues brought difficulties when I was responsible for managing the LMS: 1) updating to version 3 (some time ago) when it was necessary to redo a large part of the course structure (I saw this resolved in the migration from 3 to 4) and 2) the time required to back up complete courses. As I worked with courses with many images, the time to copy and back up courses, internally in Moodle, was always very long, often longer than the time the server maintained the connection, sometimes forcing the process to restart.

Super user friendly - users new to the platform can easily navigate and learn how to use the LMS. It's very easy to set up and find what you're looking for, learning is streamline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not exciting. There's limited features that can add value to the platform. I wish there was a more community focued aspect to the platform that builds connections and engages learners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
