Setup was extremely simple, admins used it with much ease, it is so cheap as what you use is what you pay for, and it has quite useful details on unemployment taxes.

SumTotal allows us to create custom courses for our employees to follow. We are also able to control the level of access that each employee has based on their roles and designations. In addition, the ability to import data on previous training is an immense advantage.

I like this LMS. It is reliable.

Bigger organization find it quite beneficial for transferring all their data to a new LMS. A lot of functionalities can cover all your training activities. Support is really supportive. A bit expensive but offers more than itsprice actually.

Expensive, A few organizations can afford it. But works well in each field.
