Cost of Ownership

Limitations

• Lacks Mobile Collaboration and Offline Learning Tools: The solution doesn’t allow learners to access courses, complete them offline and sync their progress when they are back online from mobile devices. It doesn’t offer collaboration among learners using two-way messaging, group chats, discussions and file sharing on their mobile devices.
• Limited AI Tools: During our evaluation, we found LearnUpon lacking in AI capabilities. It doesn’t support AI-based reporting and tagging, content translation, AI-powered search, conversational AI, or NLP capabilities, scoring only 14 in our analysis. The only AI feature it supports is AI-based content recommendations. If you need an LMS with extensive AI features, you may consider Docebo. It fully supports all these AI functionalities out of the box, except for AI reporting.
• Limited Messaging Capabilities: LearnUpon enables administrators and instructors to message individual learners or send announcements to groups. However, it doesn’t support messaging between learners, limiting peer-to-peer interaction. In the mobile app, only the latest ten messages are visible, and users can’t access drafts or sent messages.
