Pluto LMS Reviews

It's important to understand that this is a hosted service offering that goes way past just the software itself. PlutoLMS are a fantastic service organisation to partner with, with responsive support and a focus on working to meet your business needs directly or through creative viable alternative solutions.

From a software perspective, it's a known experience, based on a stable, world-class, well-established platform that (as of the writing of this review) has more than 182 thousand active sites worldwide across 243 countries, including many leading universities. That's the kind of customer footprint that makes for a sound investment decision. The solution has a huge depth and breadth of capability, only really limited by your imagination as a curriculum / content developer.

As a vendor supporting a hosted SaaS solution, the PlutoLMS team need to balance what is economically supportable within their operating model with the needs of customers. This means that the addition of features through a broad range of available third-party plugin's needs to be carefully weighed against the ability to support their customers.

Due to the long-lineage of the base platform, there are some aspects of that base that may be regarded at first-glance as dated: however, the incredible breadth and depth of the features provided by PlutoLMS and the stability of those features leave most of the alternative solutions that present a more modern look 'n feel in their user experience and user interface sorely lacking in functional breadth and depth.

Possibly the main usability drawback is that the Content Management System used by content authors forms the base course delivery structure, and so is tightly coupled to the default user experience of the student. There are various ways to work with this / escape this constraint, which take a little research and time to learn.

It was so user friendly, has so many feature and integrations, has every functionality you could ever want

Nothing. I truly enjoy Pluto LMS and have not experienced difficulties thus far

The platform is pretty easy to use and figure out, we were able to get it up and running quickly. We're still figuring it out, but overall I'm quite satisfied and hopeful it will meet our needs!

There are a few things that are not easily changed (like the English vs. American spelling of "enrol"), but overall the issues have been small.

The product is easy to use and there is a lot of processes on the back-end that a product owner can change

More customization ability would be great. Especially around branching methods and how we classify users. A "by country" data point would be great in the default dashboard as opposed to having to pull a custom data report.

The software fits our industry perfectly. Daily as we interact with it, we find amazing things that we can do with it, effortlessly.

I do not have any feedback under this topic.

The underlying LMS, Moodle is quite good but as open source it needs some work. Pluto have done a great job in customising it to produce a workable and design-friendly LMS. Additionally, the level of service received is phenomenal - nothing is too much trouble for them.

Moodle is not always as flexible as I would like, although Pluto go a long way to reducing that problem. Additionally, the data analytics capability could be a lot better, although there are plugins that provide good analytics.

The easy to use cloud-based software is very powerful and mostly easy to use. We are trying to use many of the features of Pluto and even beyond that, and the support we receive is first class, always looking for innovative ways to enhance our experience. Thanks guys!

Making backup copies of courses is quite cumbersome

Being able to integrate content directly into my client's existing LMS was critical to my business model. Pluto LMS has an LTI feature that allows us to integrate our elearning in LTI format which allows us to share content with our colleges and universities.

We have unique reporting needs that will require customization as we utilize branches for each of our clients.

Software is extremely user friendly, flexible and provides a great experience for both students/users as well as course administrators and directors.

For our project, we did not have any notable 'cons' with regard to the the LMS platform.

Being an LMS and webApp.

N/A

Once you get the hang of it, Pluto LMS is very easy to use. The customer support has been exceptional, with very quick turnaround times.

There are some formatting functions that I feel could be better, in terms of look and feel etc. However, most functions that are not yet available have some form of workaround. I have not encountered any show stoppers to date.

Great support for those administering and learning on the platform. Easy to navigate and all the functionality one would need.

Reporting functionality needs a little work, but all data is accessible and trackable. If any issues do come up, the support team is quick to respond.

The software is very user friendly, easily customised and was integrated easily into our existing business

so far we are very happy with the product

The system is easy to understand but offers a huge amount of options for a affordable price

At first it took time to get use to how the system works but like anything after watching the videos and trying things myself it became clear.
