Thought Industries Pros and Cons

Thought Industries is highly customizable and offers many of the most useful elements of a learning management system in a user friendly way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customization can also be complicated. Organizing on the back end is difficult. I'd like to see upgrades to how I can organize and view things like tags, communications, etc. I'd also like to see them develop a direct messaging system like Canvas has for their system. Grading assignments is not as easy as on LMS's like Canvas or Blackboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Central Assests and Question library are totally Time saving for the Admin.

Having separate slots for Pre roll and post roll in a video is a very creative idea and reduces the work of video creators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting System is confusing sometimes. There are lots of Data mismatches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thought Industries is the most robust LMS you will find on the market. Their toolset and underlying architecture support the full range of applications, small to very complex, handling elegantly any use case you may require.

Their customer training and support sets the bar for the industry. After over 35 years in educational technology, I am not easily impressed. However, the Thought Industries team has considered every level of support needed and provides it with high quality and reliability. They continue to provide support throughout the duration of a subscription as well, not just at start-up.

If you are looking for a true LMS partner as you implement and grow your business, I'd suggest you look no further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Thought Industries system is complex and supports a wide variety of use cases. As a result, it is critical that you have a dedicated staff member to set it up and ensure full utilization. We did not have a team in place to implement the system, yet were able to fully implement with Thought Industries staff's assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Panorama feature has been my favorite so far. The ability to create varying environments either for internal audiences or specific customers has been really great. It's also been great to have an in-app authoring tool baked into the platform so that we don't have to import course content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The catalog functionality and reporting features have been the biggest painpoints so far. They're both great features but lack simplicity to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From the development perspective, I like the option to choose different predefined types of pages and how to combine them. Also, monitoring and reporting are essential, and Thought Industries provides this as an integrated service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a content developer, the primary colors (RYB) must be available by default and not as an option. There are many other ways to cover/integrate such an income from other options. Also, the graphic capabilities should be improved for technical customers. The actual graphic import options are very limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reliablity, quick support, ease of use making and admining courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Compared to our last platform, I am not sure there are any downsides other than cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Creating the content page and being able to customize what we can do is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reports that are provided are not accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the customer experience wonderful. Their account managers and support team are always quick to answer, friendly, and helpful. They also are great at helping us problem solve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish we had more capabilities to change the HTML on the automated emails.

Otherwise, our issues are more with our learner's capabilities than Thought Industries' products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Content creation using page options, very secure multi-tenant platform, simple yet secure SSO integrations, highly intuitive platform, and a gorgeous client-facing interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have a lot of content. We use content tags to organize and display our content. However, it is impossible to report on tags. i.e. I want to see all content with 'special tag' and then download that content list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can design education, deliver experiences, and measure outcomes in a single portal. We can integrate previous and future SCORM/xAPI; all reporting is done here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Every LMS/LXP will fall short of your return on expectations because of your specific needs, but I implore you to begin looking at what you can Optimize here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
