Your choice of learning management system (LMS) can have a big impact on your training outcomes. Using an LMS for product training, for instance, not only reduces the overhead of your customer training initiatives but also improves training visibility, makes scaling more efficient, and improves training delivery and design. But how do you know if you’ve chosen the right product training software?

Let’s discuss — starting with a quick overview of the most important features in a product-oriented LMS.

What are the Elements of a Great Product Training Platform? 

When choosing an LMS solution for product education, look for one with the following features and characteristics: 

• Support for a variety of different content types, including video, live assessments, and interactive sessions. 
• Tools for easy content creation, management, and upload. 
• Robust user management features with comprehensive analytics to track behavior and engagement. 
• The ability to quickly generate easy-to-read reports. 
• Flexible options for deployment and integration. 
• Support for mobile learning through either a native app or responsive design. 
• Support for multiple learning types, such as instructor-led training, self-paced learning, and collaborative learning.

The Best LMS for Customer Training: Our Top 7 Picks

iSpring Learn

A comprehensive business-oriented training platform, iSpring Learn supports everything from virtual onboarding and compliance to product education. The platform makes things easier on the administrative side with automated workflows, supervisor dashboards, and integration with tools such as Salesforce and Microsoft Teams. There’s also a corporate portal and newsfeed, the capacity to create specified learning tracks, and an extensive course library.

The platform is primarily geared toward employee onboarding, upskilling, and certification. Features like a 360-Degree Performance Appraisal Module and support for on-the-job training ensure your sales and customer support teams understand your software, while a corporate portal and news feed keep everyone in the loop about any upcoming changes.  

One of the big benefits of iSpring Learn is that you can also use it to support employee onboarding and professional development thanks to its 360-degree performance appraisal module and support for on-the-job training. With all that said, the platform can just as easily be used to deliver product training to customers and partners as employees. 

360Learning

360Learning blends the functionality of an LMS with the dynamic features of a learning experience platform (LXP). The platform provides businesses with powerful automation and AI-powered course recommendations and supports asynchronous learning as well as top-down and collaborative learning. 360Learning also supports streamlined user management with automated enrollment, easy provisioning, and granular permissions. 

The solution’s real claim to fame, however, is its award-winning content authoring tool, which allows experts to create relevant and engaging training in only a few minutes. For businesses currently using an older LMS, 360Learning also fully supports SCORM. 

LearnWorlds

Designed to be intuitive and lightweight, LearnWorlds is designed on the principle that all training should be human-centric. To that end, it offers a highly customizable user interface complete with white-labeling options alongside powerful content creation and course management tools. The solution also supports multiple training delivery methods, including blended learning, self-paced training, hybrid learning, and more. 

With support for over 4000 integrations, LearnWorlds is designed to integrate seamlessly with your business’s tech stack. It also includes training management system (TMS) functionality in its capacity to create and sell courses, bundles, and memberships. 

TalentLMS

TalentLMS is built to be easy to use for everyone in your organization. Like LearnWorlds, the platform is fully customizable, with comprehensive white labeling options and even the ability to create a public website to layer on top of your learning portal. TalentLMS’s infrastructure is supported by Amazon’s content delivery network (CDN) for maximum reliability, and the platform is both highly secure and GDPR compliant. 

While TalentLMS doesn’t include built-in content authoring tools, it does offer AI content generation and a built-in store with hundreds of pre-made courses. 

Adobe Learning Manager

Formerly known as Adobe Captivate Prime, Adobe Learning Manager is a cloud-based LMS solution designed for mid-sized and large enterprises. The system offers a unified learning experience for customers, partners, and employees, delivering personalized learning at scale. Adobe has packed the platform with every feature you’d expect to find in an enterprise LMS, including automated learning paths, customizable reporting, gamification, and support for multiple learning modes. 

The platform is trusted by multiple Fortune 500 firms around the world. 

CYPHER Learning

CYPHER is a multi-functional learning platform built with two things in mind — user experience and AI integration. Through integrated AI 360 with Copilot, CYPHER allows a business to develop and deliver comprehensive, personalized, competency-based product training. The platform’s developer regularly incorporates new technologies and innovations into the platform, as well. 

CYPER doesn’t just use AI for course creation, either. The technology infuses the entire platform, from intelligent automation to adaptive assessments and extensive analytics. 

Cornerstone LMS

The Cornerstone LMS makes it easy to deliver targeted, personalized training to partners, employees, and customers at virtually any scale, including globally. The thing that really makes the solution stand out, however, is the developer’s modular ecosystem, which includes, among other things, HR, LXP,  recruiting, talent management, and content creation software. 

Cornerstone also markets its LMS as both skills-forward and AI-powered.
