imc Learning Suite Reviews

Expert LMS for Pros

Comments: Actually, we are using version 2013 (Innovation Pack 2013.10.5). It covers all our needs to bring and manage required learning contet to our users. It's an expert system. You need to know what you are doing. With this software you'll have a kind of swiss army knife. We are using only a part of all functionalities. This product is extremely reliable and the support organization at imc is well built, if you have questions or problems.

Pros:

This Learning Management System delivers all you need in a corporat environment. You can define learning materials, build courses and programs, book and prebook courses, build workflows for required courses and define chasing e-mails for missed due dates. The frontend for end-users can be customized for your needs following corporate identity and design guidelines. On the frontend you can define where to place a number of predefined content blocks. In course rooms every content attribute can be freely customized. Even language details in the frontends can be configured. You are able to configure different user roles and groups.

Cons:

The User Interface needs getting used to. It's an system for experts. A user who works one time a month on managing courses or attendees, is a bit of lost in the system. You need to have dedicated users for managing courses, which will work on it full-time. The data model behind the scenes is really old. Database tables have no references between each other. Without any documentation or expert guidance from IMC you are lost if you try to build your own select statements.

TRUMPF Feedback

Comments: Overall the product is good to use for the Training Management. But there are lot of limitations and it is not easy to have a workaround or a competent business consulting or a bug fixed in a shorter time.

Pros:

Good and supportive service desk. Account Management is very helpful and quick to respond in case of escalations or short term wishes.

Cons:

Most of the changes are either rejected from the product management. There is no solution to change the language flag in the catalogue and also no solution to select multiple locations for the same course template. Expansion of booking form per course and adding it to the reports is not easy. The system does not identify the manager automatically and require them again to confirm the booking again even though they themselves booked it

IMC Learning Suite Review

Comments: It's complicated ;-)
It's complicated ;-)

Pros:

Not so easy to answer this one... The basic features work OK, but that's about it.

Cons:

* The rather limited standard features * The IMC servicedesk & ticketing system

Highly recommendable for complex LMS use cases

Comments: We can recommend imc Learning Suite fully, especially when you have to cover a more complex use case with several different user groups, clients and you need sophisticated LMS features. If you have to cover a simple use case with one single target group (e.g. employees) and you do not need any special features, another LMS vendor can probably also do the job.

Pros:

* Very reliable implementation partner. Implementation project was delivered in time and on budget. * Many, many useful out -of-the-box features available. Much more than many other LMS offer. * High configurable LMS backend reduces need for customizations significantly. * Broad range of APIs allow easy integration with other platforms * Integration with IMC Express authoring tool allows easy translation and maintenance of courses. * imc has a lot of experience with real global use cases incl. China and Russia. Other vendors were not able to cover such use cases because of missing data privacy features.

Cons:

* User experience is OK, but could be more user friendly and intuitive. * Backend is very detailed and requires thorough user training.

Feedback 2024

Comments: Good platform that allows you to realize most of the tasks. There are also regular new features that bring the system forward. However, for new admins or admins who do not work in the system on a daily basis, it is sometimes hard to manage. All established routines run smoothly.

Pros:

As administrators, we have various options for adapting the system to our needs without the need for IMC support

Cons:

The text/email editor (not full HTML; limitation of characters) is bad. A lot of manual work when IMC introduces a new feature that should be used for existing courses/learning paths.

Almost everything is possible, with a little time and some money

Comments: If you got the idea of the system, it's easy to explore new features and use them.

Pros:

An Admin is allowed to do so many things without a consultant. You're able to configurate almost everything. For every purpose the system can be used. If something's missing, im-c will create it.

Cons:

Create your own guidelines for functions you don't use so often. Although the habndling is the same on every page (exept Channels) some features need special knowledge.

Comments: Great and powerful tool. When you understand it is works great.

Pros:

The flexiblity and the great support team

Cons:

New features cost money. They should be included as updates. Some things is hard to set up for users that is not in the system everyday. More manuals and helptexts.

big space for improvemnet

Comments: its working, but with a lot of issues which are repeated

Pros:

automatic correspondence, reporting is ok

Cons:

many bugs, mistakes which were not explained. long time of response to reported issues

Excellent user interface, broad and deep functionality out-of-the-box, very configurable & flexible

Pros:

A really comprehensive and professionally built suite of eLearning capabilities that can be adapted (and re-adapted) to fit any organisation - the more complex the need the better it performs against alternative options. The ability to easily setup individual/groups, programs with a variety of different types of profiles, and the management of all of this is a key differentiator. All the new types of eLearning capabilities like micro-learning, gamification, badges, continuous personal development, `and Learning Management , proof of competency, and a load more features besides that are configurable `out-of-the-box. Because IMC also offer customised courseware and great off-the-shelf content through partners, makes managing the whole eLearning so much easier to do. The new `process guide toolkit that is scheduled to be released soon promises to be a major advantage as it offers context-sensitive `just-in-time guidance and help at the point of need will be invaluable for complex and constantly changing requirements.

Cons:

The service locally is good and very responsive, but the need for special bespoke features and customisation that needs to be done in the Germany HQ can be a bit slow. The backend activities relating to configuring all the rich functionality was quite cumbersome up to recently, but I understand the new version with a more intuitive GUI is supposed to fix this. The system documentation - which is a symptom of the back end was a bit ordinary, but I understand the new `process guide software toolkit will significantly reduce the need for the document.

Best lms and great team

Pros:

Absolutely customizable and amazing functionalities. Nice look and feel

Cons:

Nowadays i am absolutely happy with imc

Auch ein LMS lernt nie aus.

Pros:

Der hohe Grad an Grundfunktionen aber auch die Flexibilität selber Veränderungen und Anpassungen vornehmen zu können.

Cons:

Die Vorteile können auch Nachteile sein wenn es keine Hilfe oder manchmal auch einen Wizard für Funktionen gibt.

Pros:

Das Gesamtpaket gefällt uns gut. Wir sind zufrieden.

Sobald sich die Anzahl der Kursvorlagen erhöht, wird die Übersicht unübersichtlich.

Pros:

Produkt ist eine gute Basis für die Unterstützung der Ausbildungsabteilung.

Cons:

Produkt weisst Sicherheitstechnische Mängel auf, wurde durch BugBounty Programm geprüft. Keine Änderung geplant.
