I've really enjoyed working with Brainier for the past 5 years. They've always been great but have really stepped up their game lately. As clients, we appreciate them making enhancements and listening to what is important to their customers. Looking forward to what the future holds.

Pros

The most intuitive UI that I've had the experience of working with, especially when it comes to the admin tools. Everything makes sense and is easy to figure out.

Cons

From a user perspective nothing! From an admin perspective, there are some shortcomings when it comes to reporting on multistep learning objects, but that is really nitpicking.

Overall great, from the product manager to product support, the Brainier team members truly care about your success in using the product and are there when you need them.

Pros

There are so many options to customize your site to fit your organization's needs. Brainier provides the most opportunities out of other LMS products to set up the effective training programs you have always wanted and finally put training front and center for your organization.

Cons

The product is a one-size-fits-all in a lot of ways, but the product continues to develop and offer new appearances and features. There are also a lot of options to set up a different training tools within the product, and more focused guidance from the Brainier team would probably help push teams to use the entire platform more dynamically.

The best part of the Brainier LMS is the the staff at Brainier. Being able to work with [sensitive content hidden] on a regular basis and receiving fast support from [sensitive content hidden] almost makes me feel competent

Pros

The LMS provides a great platform to assign and track learning of staff and has a variety of different methods to drive engagement. It feels cohesive and well thought out for the employee and administrative side and nothing seems to be an afterthought or quick addition.

Cons

For the learners and daily users there are no issues. However, administrative work is sometimes laggy. Also there is so much that can be done that it is frustrating when something can't because its such a rare occurrence.

Training reports didn’t work for me and Brainier stepped in, consulted with our Admin, and effectively assisted with resolving internal configuration issues with my role.

Pros

From a management viewpoint, having a suitable LMS is a value added one stop shop for our organizational training needs.

Cons

In US Government Contracting, Brainier’s solution to accept external required US Government training from https://securityawareness.usalearning.gov/ that requires US Government training certificate uploads is doable but improvements are needed. The three-step process is difficult to set up, trainees struggle and often need one on one assistance with uploading their certificates.

It has been a pleasure collaborating with the client services and support teams. Our corporate experience has been exceptional, and we’ve been utilizing the platform for over six years.

Pros

Everything you need is available on Brainier. We are receiving the highest return on investment. The platform is highly reliable and provides a range of customizable options. The Social tools like badges, discussion, ranking is so cool. We have a few staff who just reached the highest ranking - Rocket Scientist Level III (250000 points).

Cons

The quiz functionality has room for improvement by incorporating a variety of question types. Additionally, we need a gradebook for curriculum courses that can display multiple completed objectives. It would also be beneficial to integrate AI functionality to align with current trends.

At this moment, I don't have many cons...sometimes the cons are that I want something that isn't out there...as long as they are looking into what I want, that's all I can hope for. I have made choices that turned out to be not so great after a while...using the Brainier LMS is NOT one of those. I am still happy with it, still excited about it, and look forward to it's growth that brings our Company to a better place.

Pros

You can't speak of the LMS without talking about it's ease of use. It's the number one thing for users! It has to be easy enough for people to use so you don't spend all of your time walking people through managing their learning all of the time. The second thing...reporting! I get 95% of what I need out of the static reports and it provides me with numbers hat we couldn't get before. Yes, other LMS platforms may offer the same thing but these seem so easy...ties into the ease of use. Third, the implementation team, the help desk, and the sales team...these people are real people and do their absolute best to help in any way that you ask. They are never insulting when the problem is actually me. I trust them wholeheartedly to help me understand and work through what I need to. Having the freedom to personalize the experience is great. All my wants or concerns are considered and I have a platform for them to be reviewed... I enjoy the product and the people and look forward to a continued partnership and the evolution of the system which improves all of the time! And that Groupings tab is awesome...saved us a rewrite of our group structure! That's a big deal!

Cons

Cons...there are some improvements that could be made. I personally have a hard time with the custom reports, could be just me but I think there could be some improvement there. There are some little things like being able to delete things?! I fully understand why they don't have that feature but how about a "hide" or something, just to make it cleaner...we do make mistakes. I wish the lists would keep the filters on, like if I am looking at 100 users or objects per page, I keep having to select that...just keep the 100 or maybe just keep whatever my last choice was, idk. Sometimes I want more data in the static reports, like the "Tag" (I'll add that to the forum).

I value the relationship our organization has with Brainier. They have been a superb business partner. Their LMS product works for our needs and also provides a number of features that fall outside of our scope. Their interest in listening to their clients is apparent. Our input seems to matter. We will continue to work with Brainier to achieve our training needs.

Pros

This LMS has many features that make it easy for users and administrators to use the system to produce the best results. The Student portal of the LMS is fantastic. It is very intuitive and consistent with other web platforms.

Cons

As with many LMS(s), the administration portal could be designed to be a little simpler to use. It seems like there are sometimes too many steps to accomplish a simple task. Some of the features feel complicated where they could designed in a more streamlined and logical manner.

Elan is a suitable system for our organization's needs. The working relationship that I have with the Brainier team has been very valuable. I appreciate what they are able to offer and wish them continued success as they grow their customer base.

Pros

The student portal is very simple for our students to access and complete their courses. The user interface is attractive and training records are able to be retrieved easily. Elan meets our needs as our training environment has been put into the spotlight.

Cons

This is the third LMS that i have worked with. The admin side of Elan lacks some of the flexibility that I have experienced with other systems. Some of the logic tied to the admin functionality doesn't seem to align with my needs to administer the system.

We didn't have an LMS prior to using Brainier, so it was a very helpful solution for us in order to manage our training programs and the training records for our Associates. Our account reps are very helpful and responsive when we need anything.

Pros

I love the ability to be able to login as other users to easily see what they can see and check access rights. I also like the format of the screens, with easy to use menus and tiles. The ability to import and mass mark completions is helpful. And the analytics dashboard is a nice tool to have quick visibility to various metrics.

Cons

The reporting could be better. I'm glad there is ability to do custom reports, but it is still limited on what can be done. However we are able to report on everything we need to.
