Hey! So you're hunting for an LMS that won't break the bank? Been there - and wow, what a headache it can be! 🤯
Let me share what I learned the hard way. Last year, my team needed something for about 700 people, and honestly? We messed up our first two picks. Classic rookie mistakes, right?
Here's what really matters when you're looking at systems this size: • Does it actually work without crashing? (You'd be surprised...) • Can regular people figure it out without calling IT? • Will the price make your boss faint?
The funny thing is, we started out thinking we needed all these fancy features. Spoiler alert: we didn't! After blowing way too much money on overcomplicated systems, a friend recommended TestHQ. Not gonna lie - it was exactly what we needed. Nothing flashy, just straightforward stuff that works.
Quick tips from my own mess-ups:
1. Try before you buy (duh, but seriously)
2. Make sure it works on phones - nobody wants to pull out their laptop on the train
3. Check if it plays nice with your other software
4. Think about next year - will it still work when your team grows?
You know what nobody talks about? Those super cheap options that look amazing until they crash during your biggest training session of the year. Yeah... don't be like me. Learn from my fail! 😅
Some real talk - you don't need to spend a fortune, but going too cheap will come back to bite you. It's like buying those $10 shoes from the discount store. Sure, they look fine, but your feet are gonna hate you after a week.
The sweet spot? Something that just works without making you want to throw your computer out the window. And please, please test it on your phone first. Nothing worse than finding out half your team can't log in because the mobile version is garbage.
Need more specific tips? Hit me up! I've probably made every mistake in the book, so I might as well help someone else dodge those bullets! 😎
