It is very easy to use and has many features for smooth conduction of tests and upload of grades. It is free and open source to use. > > **Cons**: One thing I liked least about Moodle was that the interface can sometimes feel outdated and less intuitive compared to newer learning platforms. There were occasional bugs such as pages loading slowly, quizzes freezing temporarily, or assignment uploads failing on unstable connections. Notifications and navigation could also be improved because important updates are sometimes easy to miss. Customer support largely depends on the institution using Moodle, so resolving technical issues can occasionally take time. > > It is very customizable and works for both small colleges and large universities. It is a platform similar to google classroom or a blackboard where all the teaching activities can be conducted seamlessly. ----- ### "Excellent LMS for the "price"" — 5.0/5 > **Sarah** | *19 December 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that it's open source, which means I can get it for FREE if I have my own hosting solution. And it's not a cheap, minimal product either - it's a quality learning management system that supports a variety of assignment types with easy grading. It allows a customizable amount of teacher-student interaction; set up a course and let it run without touching it again, or have a hands-on teacher communicating daily. Sufficient support documentation is available that I never needed to contact any kind of customer support. It seamlessly supported my course authored on Rise 360. > > **Cons**: It took some time to figure out how to set it up on a free hosting platform as an administrator; I had issues with needing more server access than I had for free. (I did find a workaround that's sufficient for the low-usage environment I'm currently supporting.) > > I have used Moodle as a student, a teacher, and a site administrator - including both completing my own setup start-to-finish and moderating an install set up by someone else. I've found Moodle to be an excellent learning management system. Other LMS platforms do have some extra features that are nice, but they rarely tip the scale on cost-benefit ratio; Moodle is good and free. ----- ### "Moodle Experience" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *9 April 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The chat/messaging feature. As an admin, I am satisfied with this because I can send a broadcast to all my users. > > **Cons**: I use Moodlecloud. The feature I like the least is the process of creating the performance usage report. I discovered when I first extract that information that there are columns that are not relevant - I want main details such as how many times a user logged in and how long they were logged in and the courses they viewed/attempted, the functions they used the most and all those. > > Knowledgable. I learned a lot as a student user once back when I was in college and now as an Administrator. ----- ### "CS student moodle evaluation" — 3.0/5 > **Alexandre** | *23 January 2026* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a computer science student, I really value the learning platform because it serves as an all-in-one hub where I can access all my course materials, submit some of my assigments. It has a organized interface, supporting multiple file formats and activities. > > **Cons**: The platform feels quite outdated, often requires too many clicks to locate specific documents. The mobile experience is also somewhat limited compared to the desktop version, with inconsistent notifications. Also, when I try to add a file and submit it, a lot of time it takes to many clicks to confirm it , I have already missed some deadlines because I forgot 1 of 5 confirms. > > Moodle is a solid tool that gets the job done for university life. It provides all the necessary features for a Computer Science student, but it desperately needs a modern visual update, and also , the files submit system , should be updated. ----- ### "A Helpful Platform for Staying Organized at Concordia" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *19 April 2026* | Public Policy | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about Moodle was how easy it was to access everything I needed for my courses in one place. I could quickly find lecture slides, assignments, readings, and announcements without having to search through multiple platforms. I also liked that I could track my deadlines and see my grades as soon as professors posted them. Overall, it made staying organized and keeping up with my classes much easier. > > **Cons**: What I liked least about Moodle was that the interface sometimes felt outdated and not very intuitive. Certain pages took a few extra clicks to find, and different professors organized their course pages in completely different ways, which made navigation inconsistent. I also found that notifications weren’t always reliable, so I had to double‑check things manually to make sure I didn’t miss updates or deadlines. > > My overall experience with Moodle has been good. It kept all my course materials, assignments, grades, and announcements in one place, which made it easier for me to stay organized throughout the semester. I liked that I could quickly check deadlines and see updates from my professors without having to use multiple platforms. At the same time, the interface sometimes felt a bit outdated, and the layout changed a lot depending on how each professor set up their course, so navigation wasn’t always consistent. But overall, Moodle helped me manage my classes effectively and stay on top of my academic work ----- Page: 1 / 137\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/80691/moodle?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/80691/moodle) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
