Shopping for a learning management system can mean comparing dozens of features, capabilities, technical requirements, and support options across multiple vendors. Knowing which questions to ask can make it easier to identify the systems that fit your organization's needs and compare potential LMS solutions on a more consistent basis.

Our free LMS Comparison Guide gives you a structured set of questions you can use while researching and comparing learning management systems. It can help you identify important requirements, evaluate different LMS platforms, and compare potential vendors more consistently. It can also serve as a starting point if your organization is building a formal Request for Proposal (RFP). The guide covers areas such as course and curriculum management, content, certifications and compliance, assessments, learner and manager experiences, blended and mobile learning, reporting, integrations, system infrastructure, and customer support.

What Should You Consider When Comparing LMS Platforms?

Every organization's training requirements are different. The features, processes, integrations, and services that matter to one organization may not matter to another. This guide provides a structured collection of questions to help you identify your requirements, compare LMS vendors, and evaluate which systems best fit your organization's needs. Use the questions as a comparison guide, or add, remove, and customize them to create your own LMS evaluation criteria.
