What do you like best about Chamilo LMS?

Chamilo is a great Learning Management System (LMS). The main key is the ease of use. When you access for first time you know how you have to navigate. The usability is perfect.

The other great thing is the optimisation. With a low RAM consumption is the best LMS of the market.

There are a lot of quizzes and include hotspots. You can edit images and audio from Chamilo with no other software (you only need your navigator like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox!).

You can activate audio quizzes. And students have the possibility to send their voice.

Dropbox system is great because you can send archives by groups. For instance, I use dropbox option to organise new courses. All teachers send us their class materials via this system. And we can check the reception of this materials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chamilo LMS?

Chamilo has to improve in some connections by native way. There are some functional plugins but it's important to have more community and more developers because the product is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Chamilo LMS:

When you are looking for a Learning Management System you can think among open source and private source. If you want to use an opens source LMS Chamilo is your choice! You haven't to pay by licenses for user. It's very easy to use and administrate. All it's intuitive. And if you have to develop some new features you can talk with Chamilo suppliers. It's fast and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Chamilo LMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Chamilo I can have a functional LMS with no code problems, integrate with SCORM standard and super accessible. The speed is more than other LMS.

I can prepare a lot of educational materials to 10,000 employees with low resources (humans and economics). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Chamilo LMS?

It's philosophy of simplicity and usability for non experienced users. It provides a friendly entrance to e-learning while providing powerful functionalities. Maybe not to the degree that other platforms offer (Moodle, being the most popular), but I think that in many cases, less options (or less choices within each feature) means less difficulty for novice and not so novice users. And this means less time spent in learning how to manage / use this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chamilo LMS?

There is not a single feature I strongly dislike in Chamilo. I think that some features should be improved in the future, such as a better adaptation for mobile devices, data analytics, or integration with external and popular services/networks, such as Facebook, Google, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Chamilo LMS:

If you are thinking about using an online campus for users who are reluctant / novice to work in e-learning, go for Chamilo. It is extremely friendly. There won't be 100 ways of creating tests (to give an example) but it has the basic (and more than that!) features your users will need, less the hassle and complexity that other VLE offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Chamilo LMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We manage a Chamilo community with over 58.000 users (http://aula.cesga.es) and 1.500 courses. What we like most about Chamilo is that, as administrators, we have only a few user related issues to solve, but almost none related to its stability, functioning or serious bugs to deal with.
