## Reviews

### "Lead, HR Technology" — 5.0/5

> **Shilpa** | *October 28, 2026* | Airlines/Aviation | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I liked most about Open eLMS is how intuitive, user-friendly, and flexible the system is. As an airport, we manage a wide range of complex business processes and compliance needs across different employee groups. Open eLMS has given us the flexibility to manage these diverse requirements within one system, while simplifying and automating many of our processes.&#10;&#10;The ability to configure learning assignments, manage training requirements, track completions, and support different business needs has significantly improved our efficiency and reduced manual work. The system is adaptable to our evolving needs, making it easier to streamline workflows and provide a better experience for both employees and administrators. Another standout feature is the integration of Power BI dashboards within the LMS. This has been a game-changer for our business, allowing us to bring learning data and actionable insights together in one place. Having access to training metrics, compliance status, and reporting directly within the LMS helps us make informed decisions, identify gaps, and support audit and compliance requirements more effectively.&#10;Overall, Open eLMS has been more than just a learning management system for us. It has become an important business tool that supports automation, operational efficiency, compliance, and data-driven decision-making. Its flexibility, intuitive design, and ability to support complex business processes make it a valuable solution for an organization like ours.
> 
> **Cons**: Improved communication around upcoming system updates would be helpful. Receiving advance notice of changes, along with detailed release notes outlining new features, enhancements, and potential impacts on existing functionality, would allow us to prepare, test, and communicate changes to our users more effectively. This would help ensure smoother transitions and allow us to make the most of new system capabilities.
> 
> Our overall experience with Open eLMS has been excellent. The product is intuitive, flexible, and powerful, allowing us to automate business processes, manage complex learning requirements, and make data-driven decisions through integrated reporting.&#10;What truly sets Open eLMS apart, is the team behind the product. The level of support feels like a white-glove service, with a team that is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in understanding our business needs. Their expertise in the Learning space, combined with their collaborative approach to problem-solving, makes working through challenges and finding the right solutions so much easier.&#10;We appreciate that the team goes beyond simply providing a product, they work with us to explore possibilities, understand our requirements, and identify practical solutions that support our business. This partnership, alongside the strength of the platform itself, has made Open eLMS a valuable part of our organization. Overall, it has been a great experience, and the team is a significant part of what makes it so positive.

### "Surrey County Council partnership with OpenELMS" — 5.0/5

> **Sulman** | *October 19, 2026* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The flexibility of the system, the wish to build a relationship with the organisation to understand our organisational goals and help map the LMS to achieve them. The support desk and the monthly account calls are extremely helpful tools as part of the service to help build knowledge and further improve the system.
> 
> **Cons**: There are a couple of nuisances of the system that do not always sit well with our internal processes but OpeneLMS are always open to discuss these and help find workarounds to make the system work best for us.
> 
> Overall the experience with OpeneLMS has been extremely positive as we implemented some cultural changes in the organisation and the LMS was a core function of this change. As we move forward with further large scale changes in the organisation OpeneLMS has been an important element of scoping those changes and making sure that it is an integral part of the organisation in the years to come. They are aware of the strain on public sector finances so are always willing to find solutions that we can actually implement and move forward with.

### "Overall Experience" — 4.0/5

> **Kat** | *October 21, 2026* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: They have great customer service and when issues occur are handled promptly with a full explanation given. Simple Administration of the system. Able to hold internal and external people on the system having SSO/ Passwords as options for security. Unlimited Licences. Fast reporting, Skills monitoring for compliance.
> 
> **Cons**: Challenges with unassigning resources/programmes/skills.&#10;We would like the system to cleanly remove or archive obsolete information across all relevant areas, so that legacy assignments, previous allocations and removed content do not continue to appear and cause confusion.
> 
> Our overall experience of working with Open e-LMS has been very positive. The customer service has been excellent, and having a dedicated account manager who works with us to understand our needs and help us make the best use of the system has been particularly valuable. The system has developed significantly over time, both in response to advances in technology and our evolving needs. There is a wide range of functionality that we have been able to utilise, with further features and opportunities that we have not yet chosen to explore

### "Excellent Support, Strong Communication, and a Collaborative Approach to Learning" — 5.0/5

> **Janine** | *October 19, 2026* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I like most about this Open eLMS is its ease of use. The platform is straightforward to navigate, making it easy for both learners and administrators to access information, complete tasks, and monitor progress. The customer support team is excellent, consistently providing prompt, knowledgeable, and helpful assistance whenever required. Communication is also a real strength, with regular updates and clear information ensuring users remain informed and supported. Overall, the system is reliable, user-friendly, and backed by a highly responsive support team.
> 
> **Cons**: Honestly, there is very little I dislike about the system. If I had to choose something, it would be that some processes could potentially be completed in fewer clicks, but this is a minor point and does not detract from the overall user experience.
> 
> What has particularly impressed me is the willingness of Open eLMS to work closely with us as an organisation to develop a system that meets our specific needs. They have actively listened to feedback, collaborated with us on improvements, and demonstrated a genuine commitment to creating the best possible user experience. In many cases, they have not only implemented requested changes but have also proactively suggested enhancements that would make the system more user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing. This collaborative approach has helped ensure the platform continues to evolve in a way that benefits our users.&#10;&#10;Overall, Open eLMS has proven to be an effective, reliable, and adaptable learning management system, supported by excellent customer service, strong communication, and a genuine commitment to partnership and continuous improvement.

### "Strong Platform, Outstanding Support" — 5.0/5

> **Jayne** | *October 21, 2026* | Political Organization | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I like most about Open eLMS is how easy it is to create engaging training content while keeping all our learning records in one place. The reporting functionality is excellent, providing clear insights without being clunky or difficult to navigate. The platform has also helped us begin introducing AI into the workplace and encouraging staff to use it confidently. Above all, the customer service is exceptional, with outstanding response times and consistently clear, effective communication from the team.
> 
> **Cons**: There is significant potential to do even more with the organisation dashboard. As the main landing page for staff, it could benefit from a more engaging user experience, including welcome messages, guided tours, and clearer navigation to key features and resources. While helpful support materials already exist, such as the tour video, they could be made more visible to improve user onboarding and engagement.
> 
> Our experience with Open eLMS has been excellent from implementation through to ongoing support. The onboarding project was well managed, with clear communication, regular catch-up meetings, and a genuine focus on ensuring we achieved our objectives. We have also invested in additional services and have been extremely pleased with the results, which have delivered real value to our organisation.&#10;&#10;The team is highly customer-focused, responsive, and proactive in addressing our needs. The ticketing platform works exceptionally well, providing a central place for all communications and ensuring nothing gets lost or overlooked. Overall, Open eLMS combines a strong product with outstanding customer service, making it a trusted partner rather than simply a supplier.
