Can consistently log you out for no reason, but grading is clear. > > **Cons**: Very buggy sometimes when displaying things that aren’t properly managed. You also aren’t always notified of updates. ----- ### "Moodle - many more features than most understand." — 4.0/5 > **Allison** | *7 August 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Moodle is a very comprehensive platform for education. You can enable interactive content, making branching scenario activities, award grades, or simply determine competency. The range of resources and activities you can upload or create is extensive. You can host Moodle on your own server or you can pay for a hosting service. Moodle is free to set up if you are managing your own system. Moodle has a community forum to help you with a lot of challenges that many face. > > **Cons**: If you have never used Moodle before it can be overwhelming. There is so many features that you can struggle with where to start but, there are some good online courses in the Moodle Academy that can help. To use a hosting service is not cheap but these services usually come with support so they are helpful. > > Overall I feel it is a good product. Many education institutions use Moodle, making it easy to share material. It is a great tool to learn and develop courses with. While it can be expensive to have hosted and overwhelming when you first start out there are services to help you learn and I thoroughly recommend everyone use these online learning / orientation courses and do them as refreshers. ----- ### "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 **Cons**: The platform feels quite outdated, often requires too many clicks to locate specific documents.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. ----- ### "Good for Managing Courses and Assignments" — 4.0/5 > **Ishita** | *22 May 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is very useful for teachers and educators to upload assignments, lectures, notes and conduct exams or tests for a group of students. 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. ----- ### "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. ----- Page: 1 / 137\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/80691/moodle?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/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
