About Pluto LMS
Pluto LMS is a learning management software, which helps businesses create, manage, and deliver online courses for employee training, performance tracking, teaching in schools or universities, and more. Managers can configure access permissions for students, instructors, and other roles, define learning paths for trainees, and set up course completion requirements.
Using Pluto LMS, organizations can create custom quizzes with multiple question types, including matching, true or false, and multiple-choice, store students' assignments in a centralized repository, and add text, video, images, HTML codes, or links to courses. Teachers can embed Vimeo, YouTube, AWS S3, and other video links with subtitles to online training material, track views, and engage with learners through Q&A sessions or forums. The built-in calendar helps administrators filter events based on a user, group, site, category, or course and synchronize data with Google and Microsoft Outlook calendar. The software also provides IP blocker, reCAPTCHA, Single Sign On (SSO), and two-factor authentication capabilities to facilitate secure access to data and login.
Pluto LMS supports integration with various third-party applications such as Google Drive, Dropbox, Zapier, Zoom, Webex, Google Analytics, and more. Businesses can also change the platform's default language according to individual preferences, generate certificates and gain visibility into users' progress, activities, devices, and locations, among other metrics on a dashboard.

Simply awesome. We were able to migrate from our initial trials with Teachable to being productive on PlutoLMS in short order. The Pluto LMS team have become a trusted partner in our Learning-Service startegy at learning.resilientfutures.com, and we trust and value their guidance as we grow the Learning Resilient Futures area of our business.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
Reasons for Choosing Pluto LMS
We were looking to migrate off Teachable to a more sophisticated, fully-featured Learning Management System (LMS). We also wanted to find a more ethical partner better aligned with our diversity and inclusion values. After an extensive review of options, we selected MyQuest, LearnWorlds and PlutoLMS as our top-three preferences that met our basic criteria. myQuest is an awesome product by a great company - it just wasn't the right fit for our specific needs for this business case. We short-listed LearnWorlds and PlutoLMS as the best investment model fit, aligned ethical values and for offering the broad set of features and integrations we were looking for.Switched From
TeachableReasons for Switching to Pluto LMS
Based on a first-impressions preference by our instructors for the Look 'n Feel of LearnWorlds, we started an initial trial with LearnWorlds. Sadly, LearnWorlds support service was terrible, and let down what appeared to be a functionally rich product. We lost many months - the best part of 5, almost 6 - trying to get any technical support from the organisation for our $249/month Learning Center plan. Frustratingly, the first-level support was always polite and responsive: however there was either no decent 2nd or 3rd level support, insufficient capacity to support customers, and no way to escalate to get technical help. LearnWorlds doubled-down on the problem by sending RTM emails in return, bouncing tickets frequently between support staff, and proactively moving to close tickets they hadn't yet resolved. Our main struggle for those 6 months was to get support for our SSO integration - an integration for which the LearnWorlds documentation was skeletal at best, and for which there was no way to get through to speak with a technical person. We last 5 months by giving enormous slack due to the challenges of the COVID pandemic. We finally received support when we gave notice we'd terminate our plan. It then took a further 5 months to get our fee-investment in a non-working implementation refunded. As outlined above, PlutoLMS support was in contrast simply awesome: fast, robust technical knowledge with a strong outcomes-focus. The platform is responsive and feature-rich.- Industry: Computer & Network Security

I've been very happy and impressed with the customer service -- really helpful and quick to get back to us. The platform is solid and I think it will be a good fit with what we're looking for.
Pros
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!
Cons
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.

A frontier for e-learning
Reviewed on 2022/06/03
Pros
The product is easy to use and there is a lot of processes on the back-end that a product owner can change
Cons
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.
