In many cases, Moodle has made it easier to approach various issues within the firm, such as providing a single umbrella database for storing essential information, tracking performance improvement across the employees, and enhancing the interaction across the organizational departments. By using this software, we are able to enhance the training of our employees and also enhance efficiency of the firm.
Pros
The best aspect of Moodle is that it has a simple and fairly more convenient to use approach for the building of courses and communication with learners. It also has a number of potential features that enable a change in or personalization of courses to fit the company.
Cons
But there are times that I find myself transacting on the platform slow sometimes which can be quite annoying. Anyway, I would prefer if you could spend some effort in order to increase loading time and general response of the system.

Our university's use of Moodle has transformed how we manage online learning and courses. Its flexibility and wide range of features have helped faculty design interactive courses that suit different learning styles. Being open-source with an active community, Moodle has allowed us to customise it to fit our needs and easily integrate with our current academic systems.
Pros
Moodle's open-source design gives us great flexibility to customise and adapt the platform to meet our university's specific needs and teaching methods. Its wide range of built-in tools for assessment, collaboration, and content delivery allows faculty to create engaging learning experiences without needing many external plugins. Moodle also focuses on accessibility, ensuring all students, including those with disabilities, have equal learning opportunities.

One of the best LMS I have used, you may get an LMS ready to use however, it's very difficult to get a product a Moodle which can be curated as per your needs with full freedom of customisation.
Pros
The range of customisation Moodle offers is top notch. You.may customize starting your brand logo to every aspect of content, course, lessons and assessment.
Cons
It really takes effort to initially setup and you need a tech person to set it up and the administrator needs a lot of hands on training before learning the complete features.
Reasons for Switching to Moodle
The fact that we could use it as trail before implementation and could understand if the products fits us. The other products did offer trail but with certain drawbacks to their premium features. We used noodles figured it was great and our team loved it.Response from Moodle

This system has been good for the course I've taught.
Pros
Moodle is easy to use. I thought moving from Blackboard would be a challenge, but the Moodle features are user-friendly, and we have a great tech team for help!
Cons
Nothing comes to mind. We've used this system for one full year. Though I'm yet learning more about it, I've not found anything insurmountable at this time.
