"A learning tool that integrates with almost any system"

5/5

What do you like best about LearnDash?

How it easily integrates with Memberium and Keaps tag based system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LearnDash?

It could have a little more depth. You can easily create a really nice looking and feeling course. But if you want to go further and push it a bit more, its limiting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Well designed and highly configurable Wordpress LMS"

5/5

What do you like best about LearnDash?

LearnDash makes it quick and easy to set up a comprehensive learning management system on your Wordpress site. It scales well and there's a great development community around it, with many great and optional add-ons to further customize it without requiring code changes. Support is very responsive. A couple of times over the last year I've had to contact support with questions about how to do things. They respond quickly and with thorough and helpful answers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LearnDash?

I don't have a lot to say about dislikes. Occasionally I've had issues with some of the plugins that interface with LearnDash but that is not really a critique of LearnDash itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LearnDash:

Customized LMS Platform

LearnDash allows you to fully customize your LMS according to your specific needs, you can hire a developer to make as many customizations as you want. This option is very limited when you go for a built-in LMS like Teachable. You’ll hit a wall pretty fast if you want to do anything that doesn’t fit the mold perfectly on someone else’s platform.

Full Control Over Your Platform

Every second you spend building your self-hosted learning environment is an investment in its long-term value and you would not want to build your house on someone’s land, right? 🙂

LearnDash gives you the ability to control all aspects of your platform & full control over your system. Including all the content that you publish on your site.

Awesome Community Support

LearnDash has a very vibrant and active community on Facebook. It’s not an official support channel but here you will find some of the finest people who know the technicalities of setting up your LMS platform using this plugin. Many active LearnDash users can give you bits of advice and support.

Timely Updates And Official Support

Regular plugin updates, the latest major version 3.0 update is a proof & quality support via their ticket system, these are one of the most important factors before you rely on a tool to power your platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LearnDash solving and how is that benefiting you?

It can offer a fully functional LMS along with the ability to customize it according to your needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Boeing 737 Max"

0/5

What do you like best about LearnDash?

Learndash is like the Boeing 737 Max, it gives a good idea of how flying feels. Yet boarding and crossing fingers hoping nothing will ever happen is probably not such a relaxed way of traveling. The best thing is that one knows exactly what to look for in other airplanes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LearnDash?

Again, like the Boeing 737 Max, it is probably a good product when it is working properly. In our case re-login for students was impossible. Students/customers could easily purchase the product and register. Yet once logged out and trying to log in the whole process needed to be repeated all over again, sometimes including payment (...)

Recommendations to others considering LearnDash:

Unless one is a big account such a university or fortune 500 company I would search for other, better options. Entrepreneurs, (small) business owners I would recommend to stay far away from LearnDash Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LearnDash solving and how is that benefiting you?

The support team is trying for 2 weeks (!!!) to get the login/logout issue fixed and leaving us in the meantime completely in the dark. Every 2/3 days we have to for a status report and all we get is a thank you for our patience. Needless to say that the only benefit we experience that this issue did happen BEFORE we brought our course on the market. Any entrepreneur or business owner can imagine what this would do for a company AFTER bringing on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Here since day 1 and here to stay"

5/5

What do you like best about LearnDash?

LearnDash is made to fit seamlessly into the existing WordPress framework. It is a light plugin that has a comprehensive library of add-ons. In addition, many developers have built plugins especially for LearnDash as well as themes that provide LearnDash add-ons. Finally LearnDash provides more than just the plugin, the blog posts are essential. They contain valuable information and tips that make the difference when creating content that is engaging. I have been with LearnDash from my Day 1 and also from their Day 1. The growth has been exceptional while also maintaining quality. I am small-time compared to logos of clients they boast on their website, but I consider LearnDash to be like a business partner in the ocean of trends crowding the e-learning world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LearnDash?

LearnDash really fits my needs and has responded to users over the years. I have no complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LearnDash:

If you are shopping for an LMS, start by really determining all the features you will need to attain the level of monitoring and automation that your project requires. LearnDash covers all the bases and even features you did not know you wanted from an LMS. Read the blog too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LearnDash solving and how is that benefiting you?

I provide online continuing education that is completely automated using the quizzes and certificates. Learners are always commenting how the set-up is convenient and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sell online courses and keep all your money"

3/5

What do you like best about LearnDash?

You pay once for the software and you have the opportunity to use is for unlimited courses. It integrates will with Wordpress, which is a great plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LearnDash?

You have to host this on Wordpress, so if you're not comfortable using wordpress it will be a challenge. It can be a bit complicated to know how to put things in the right order, but if you take time to learn it, it becomes easy. Because it is self hosted, it is essential that you keep your website very secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LearnDash:

If you're comfortable making updates yourself and keeping your site secure, then learndash will be a great option for you. Otherwise you may need to consider other sites that host Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LearnDash solving and how is that benefiting you?

Making money by selling your knowledge.

I have been able to sell online courses and make additional income Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use, but fully featured"

5/5

What do you like best about LearnDash?

The ability to share the same lesson across multiple courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LearnDash?

Lack of ability to send LearnDash notifications on a per-course basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LearnDash:

There are multiple LMS options for WordPress. Ultimately I landed on LearnDash as the core product was solid and there were a variety of "add-ons" available for connecting LearnDash to 3rd party apps, like Stripe and Zapier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LearnDash solving and how is that benefiting you?

I offer online courses to the freelance web developer community and LearnDash has given me a platform to neatly organize courses and automatically track students' progression. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Foundation for a In House LMS"

5/5

What do you like best about LearnDash?

Easy installation, amazing support, and great feature updates that happen on a regular base. LearnDash isn't only in the plugin business, but as an organization, they care about online learning, and that shows in their product roadmap, which is an amalgamation of user input and industry trends. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LearnDash?

Lack of learning pathways. Right now, in order to achieve that functionality, I have to make 1 course with many modules/lessons. This messes up reporting as I no longer can easily factor those as completed courses since the courses are lessons. Also, scheduling reporting or background report generation. The raw report output is fantastic (and customizeable), so in conjunction with something like Tableau or Google Data Studio, I have all my reporting needs covered, it just takes far too long for the export to run.
