Key Findings:
• General satisfaction – Reviewers of LMS software on G2 Crowd were generally happy customers. Every new product appearing on the Grid debuted with above-average ratings for satisfaction metrics, while the majority of seasoned products remained above average in their overall Satisfaction scores.
• Keep it simple – Ease of use was a primary talking point throughout reviews of the top six products on the Grid with the highest G2 score.
