Key takeaways:

Reporting and analytics limitations are one of the biggest reasons teams look for Litmos alternatives, making it difficult to prove ROI and inform strategic decisions.
Many organizations also outgrow Litmos as their learning programs scale, especially when supporting multiple audiences and more complex training needs.
Automation, integrations, and customization become essential at scale, and gaps in these areas can significantly increase manual work and admin burden.
The best Litmos alternative depends on your priorities, whether that’s collaboration, compliance, sales enablement, course monetization, or enterprise-scale learning.
Enterprise platforms like Docebo stand out for organizations that need flexibility, advanced analytics, and extended enterprise training.
Choosing the right LMS replacement is less about feature volume and more about finding a platform that fits your workflows, integrates with your tech stack, and grows with your business.

Before we dive into each with more detail, let’s address why organizations look for alternatives to Litmos.

Why look for an alternative to Litmos

Litmos software is a widely-used LMS trusted by organizations around the world. But many G2 reviewers point to issues in reporting, preventing them from proving ROI to their stakeholders, or slowing them down due to manual work. Here’s what G2 reviewers had to say about Litmos.

1. Issues with reporting and analytics

Reviewers say that reporting is not as intuitive and requires much manual work. They also say that it could be more customizable and better visualized with personalized dashboards.

“The reporting tab is not as intuitive and requires a lot of configuration to deliver reports. Tracking specific custom fields and analyzing learner data is a lot more work than it should be.” — Bhanu V.

“Reporting and analytics are good but could be more customisable with personalised dashboards.” — Ben C.

“There isn’t anything specific to dislike about Litmos, but there are a few areas where enhancements could make administration even more efficient. For instance, introducing more automation options across reporting, bulk data imports, and learner progress updates would help streamline repetitive tasks. Additional flexibility in customizing dashboards and generating consolidated analytics reports would also be a great value add for large-scale enablement programs.” — Poornima V.

“One area that could benefit from enhancement is platform utilisation tracking within the admin reporting suite. While Litmos offers a range of reports, more granular visibility into how learners engage with the platform would empower admins to make more data-driven decisions and better demonstrate ROI to Senior Stakeholders and Leadership.” — Kira S.

“Reporting is extremely weak and clunky, often frustrating or requiring large amounts of manual labor to get the results I want.” — Michael S.

2. Automation, customization and integration challenges

When you’re trying to scale learning, automation and integrations aren’t “nice to haves”, they’re how you survive. Once you’re supporting multiple audiences, employees, customers, partners, doing things one learner at a time just isn’t realistic. You need the ability to manage enrollments, updates, and communications in bulk, otherwise admin work quickly eats up all your time.

Integrations matter just as much. Your LMS shouldn’t live on an island. It needs to connect seamlessly with the tools your people already use so learners can access training in the flow of work and admins aren’t constantly jumping between systems to get basic tasks done.

And then there’s customization. A one-size-fits-all experience might work early on, but it doesn’t hold up at scale. Different audiences need different experiences. Thoughtful customization helps learners quickly understand what’s relevant to them, keeps engagement high, and reinforces a consistent, intentional brand experience across every learning environment.

“I find it cumbersome to update courses across multiple instances, as it requires going into each individual course. With a large number of instances, this becomes a tedious process. Additionally, the current setup for certificates could be improved to work across entire instances rather than just at the course level. I also think branding could be more intuitive; it would be more efficient if it were possible to set up branding based on teams without needing to go through rules, allowing for a more automated experience.” — Taylor D.

“The downside of Litmos based on my experience is that customization is limited” — John Peter A.

“I found setting up Litmos challenging due to our organization’s large size and unique structure. Customizing roles and permissions was particularly difficult, especially with the various levels of permissions needed for different types of employees, including volunteers versus regular staff. There are also differences in roles and permissions based on job duties rather than positions.” — Verified user in public safety (Enterprise)

“The Google Calendar integration for the ILT courses has been problematic. We have not yet been able to use this feature as intended. We are still in the process of troubleshooting, but this issue has delayed our efforts to reduce the manual work involved with ILTs.” — Laura S.

Now that we understand some of its limitations, let’s take a look at the top alternatives in the market right now in more detail.

The initial setup was quite easy and didn’t take too long.” — Mary R.

“I am using Docebo to track learners’ progress, which makes it easy to identify who the lazy learners are. I like how Docebo tracks progress using insights. It has made it easy for me to know which content satisfies my learners and work on addressing their weaknesses. Before, it was hard for me to check my learners’ progress, but now I can easily track them while they are learning.

“One of the things I like best about Absorb is the amount of support that’s provided. Onboarding and training was very simplified and those made using the program very intuitive.” — Aaron L.

“What I dislike about Absorb LMS is that while it’s generally user friendly, some functions can be confusing or take multiple steps to complete. The least helpful aspect is the limited customization available for course layouts and reporting, which can restrict how information is displayed or tracked. Additionally, some users experience slow load times, especially when accessing larger courses or data heavy reports.” — Rosetta B.

“Reports tend to be somewhat inflexible when it comes to customization. Learner Progress reports do not update when new Courses are added to the system, requiring a lot of manual updating.” — Carl A.

“Although efforts have been made recently, I find it unfortunate that we still cannot further customize the platform, especially the groups. For example, we have two different brands present on the platform, but it is impossible for us to have two colors on the platform.” — Mathilde C.

“I like that 360Learning is easy to use; we don’t need to train our end users on how to use the platform. It’s easy for content creators to design content, even from a PDF or PowerPoint.” — Marie B.

“I noticed that while 360Learning is quite comprehensive and intuitive, it currently lacks the option to conduct live role-plays with AI, which could enhance the training experience.” — Nora S.

4. LearnUpon

Best for: Teams that want to train multiple audiences

“Talent LMS is that it’s simple to manage, uploading courses, assigning them, and tracking completions is easy.” — Anusha P.

“Reporting capabilities are very basic. Unable to create reporting on courses grouped together to form a curriculum. Creating courses also uses the most basic of software so not as dynamic learning as would like.” — Shani M.

“I think TalentLMS is overall a great product and well constructed. However, our learning is for external customers and it would be nice if there was a way to setup learning paths. This would include suggestions for learners to access outside resources.

Also more options for company branding. Right now learners know they are accessing our learning through a third party tool ( more options for the home page to look like a company website).” — Annette W.

Best for: Teams looking for an LMS that focuses on course creation

About iSpring LMS

Uploading content is straightforward, and the integration with iSpring Suite makes it easy to convert presentations into interactive courses that flow seamlessly into the LMS.” — William R.

“Customisation is more limited compared to some larger enterprise LMS platforms. While the interface is clear and easy to use, there are fewer options to tailor the look and feel or fully personalise the learner journey. For most use cases this isn’t an issue, but organisations wanting extensive customisation may notice the limitations.” — Peter D.

“After trialing several different products, we chose iSpring because it offered the most user-friendly interface for the price.“ — Jon A.

“Their turnaround time with technical support can sometimes be slower than I would like, but I have dealt with much worse. Typically about 24 hours.” — Evan N.

Analytics to track learner progress
Integrations with popular apps like Google Calendar, Zoom, Slack and Stripe for eCommerce

User reviews:

“Onboarding used to be a mix of Google Docs, Zoom calls, and “ask the person sitting next to you.” I like how easy it is to add interactive elements, not just boring PDFs, so people actually engage with the material. The automated progress tracking is a lifesaver; I can see who’s cruising through and who might need extra support.” — Olha B.

“Since it’s a new platform, there is lots of opportunity for new features, and continued improvement by way of integrations.” — Leo M.

“The lack of a specific mobile app is, in my opinion, the sole drawback. A native app would be even more convenient for people who are doing training while on the road, even though the web version is responsive and functions well on phones and tablets.” — Vladyslav B.

“It’s really easy for us to develop very customized tracks for our partner network using EducateMe. We can label content once, and have a system that can automatically build personalized learning paths based on role, level of experience or region.” — Denys S.

Advanced analytics and reporting to track your learning programs

User reviews:

“There are many authentication steps required when trying to access the learning materials.” — Pradip G.

“Note: Most people writing reviews about Cornerstone are not end-users (learners). Learners suffer horribly in Cornerstone.

Where do I begin? I’ve seen it twice now in my different employments.

It has a horrible end-user interface making me doubt that those who built it even have UX designers employed. Things are not logical – at all. Buttons that are essential are not clear, the learning flow is off. I could go on and on.” — Michael A.

“Not to much adaptable or flexible in changes. you cant revert some steps when you make the configurations. Also some workflows were strong to change and we must adapt our procedures to be as cornerstone suggest. Not to much important. The online authoring tool is quite poor.” — Ruben F.

“Reporting capabilities are expansive, but at times, data needs to be exported to create advanced dashboards. Automated Email Notifications are good assets of the system as well. I like how they are always striving to be the best in the business and have an agile approach to updating the system. The skills functionality is helpful in impacting career conversations. The talent marketplace is the culmination of the foundational work in the skills space.” — Jennifer C.

“The reporting functionality is not ideal in Tovuti. We had to export data via our api in order to get accurate reporting for our customers.” — Amanda F.

“As a dedicated Learning Management System (LMS), Moodle provides a fully integrated suite of tools designed to support and manage the teaching workflow specific to higher education.” — Liliana C.

“The interface looks old and kinda confusing. Sometimes it takes too long to find simple things. You really need someone who knows how to manage it, otherwise you get lost fast. Would be nice if it was more simple and modern.” — Gonzalo A.

“One thing I dislike is that I’m unable to install additional plug-ins since I have Moodle Cloud. I was hoping to use certain templates that require plug-ins, as they would help make our business’ LMS appear more organized and conducive to learning.” — Bernadette A.

“Moodle is user friendly and easy to manage. It provides a rich set of activities and resources that support diverse teaching and collaborative learning styles.

Moodle offer a cheap and reliable option as compared to proprietary LMS platforms.” — Julius G.

“As someone who tests software, I appreciate how reliable and well-built the platform is. The course builder is intuitive, and the video hosting is fast and seamless. It just works without bugs or glitches, which is crucial when you’re running a business.” — Hemant R.

“Wish there were additional incentives or badges relating to course completion as opposed to just community discussions.” — Brittnie W.

“LearnWorlds could improve as follows:

1) Provide a better way to navigate between backend course manager admin view & front end user view, it is very hard to move back & forth. I have to keep the Admin section open in other tab and use the ‘right click’ option to open views in another tab.

2) Should allow for the creation of course certificates within Learnworlds and not have an external sejda from option. Include it within Learnworlds.

3) Wish there was a way to offer and build a sticky search on the back end Admin side for example. I want to only see courses for International and not have to see and filter all courses when I need to focus on a set of course outside of the USA. I do filter on categories, however this search does not save. Thus, I need to re-create each time.” — Katherine G.

So now that you know what the top alternatives to Litmos are, how do you choose the best LMS for your organization?

How to choose the best LMS replacement

Finding the right LMS replacement isn’t about checking boxes; it’s about finding a partner that solves your real-world challenges and grows with you. To make a confident choice, you need to look beyond the flashy features and focus on what truly impacts your day-to-day work and your learners’ experience. These three areas will help you cut through the noise and pinpoint the platform that will actually deliver on its promises.

1. Identify your must-have integrations

If your new LMS doesn’t play well with your other systems, you’re just creating more manual work for your team. You need a platform that automates user management and data syncing, not a system that forces you to spend hours on tedious imports and updates.

Prioritize native integrations with your HRIS for user provisioning, SSO for one-click access, and tools like Slack or Teams to bring learning into the flow of work. These built-in connections save you from the headache and hidden costs of custom API work, which can be fragile and require constant maintenance.

2. Assess reporting and analytics depth

A slick demo dashboard means nothing if you can’t get the specific data your stakeholders demand. You need analytics that go beyond simple completion rates to show real business impact, without forcing you to spend your day exporting spreadsheets.

During a demo, ask to see reporting with sample data and test its limits with specific questions like, “Can I filter this report by department, role, and date all at once?” This simple test quickly reveals if you’re getting powerful, flexible analytics or just a rigid, one-size-fits-all tool—and be sure to ask if advanced reporting costs extra.

3. Evaluate support and onboarding

The quality of support you receive after signing the contract can make or break your entire rollout. Slow response times lead to launch delays and frustrated admins, and waiting months for a critical bug fix can derail your most important training initiatives.

Look past the sales pitch and ask for specific SLAs, what implementation truly includes, and whether you get a dedicated partner or just a generic support queue. Don’t just take their word for it; dig into the customer support sections of G2 and Capterra reviews to see what real users are saying.

Time to upgrade your LMS

Replacing your LMS is a big project, but the right platform gives you back hours in your day and scales right alongside your growth. When your tech finally works for you and your people, the payoff is immediate and transformative.

When Flix found the right fit, they slashed onboarding costs by €135,000 and watched training completion rates soar from 10% to 88%. That’s the kind of dramatic change that happens when your learning platform stops being a barrier and starts becoming your biggest asset.

You deserve a learning platform that grows with you instead of against you. See why more than 3,800 companies trust Docebo to power their learning. Book a demo today.

FAQs about Litmos alternatives

Is there a free or open-source alternative to Litmos software?

Moodle is the leading open-source option, but it requires dedicated IT resources for hosting and maintenance. For a more turnkey solution, many platforms offer free trials or cost-effective plans ideal for smaller teams.

What is the best way to migrate data from Litmos training courses to a new platform?

While course content often transfers easily via SCORM, migrating user data and completion history requires careful planning. Work directly with your new vendor’s implementation team to map all data fields correctly and ensure a seamless transfer.

How do you manage worldwide compliance training when switching learning platforms?

Select a platform with multi-domain architecture, automated certification tracking, and localized, audit-ready reporting. This allows you to effectively manage and prove compliance across all your global operations.
