It's easy to use and its interface is very intuitive. It supports SCORM. The support community is very big and helpful. > > **Cons**: It is complicated to install and configure, and takes a lot of memory, but once you start using it it's worth the effort > > I have used it to complement face-to-face training and it is excellent, I recommend everyone to give it a try ----- ### "Chamilo is good and free" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *8 March 2021* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Free AND easy to use\! Not common for a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) > > **Cons**: Not enough compatibility with third-party systems. (Mostly falls on third party's responsibility) > > Chamilo is a breeze, easier to set up and use than most FOSS and proprietary systems. ----- ### "A very clean and easy to use educative platform (compared to others...)" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *1 February 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Having used different platforms in the past, I can say Chamilo is very simple to use and understand by the end user. > > **Cons**: At the team, we are not 100% happy with the architecture behind Chamilo. It's not easy to make modifications since the html code is distributed in hard to follow chunks all over the place. The fact that it's using an unsafe language like PHP doesn't make it easier. > > We set up our own installation of Chamilo and set up a virtual classroom for thousands of users. The experience was successful. We also had to fix some bugs that came with the platform. ----- ### "Friendly and reliable e-learning platform" — 5.0/5 > **María José** | *17 March 2021* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best thing of Chamilo is its usability. The great majority of our users require little or no support in setting their online courses and start using them. Both teachers and students. It has all the basic options you could expect from a flexible e-learning platform, regarding communication tools, authoring, testing, statistics...of course there are other platforms with far more options in each of these tools, but in my experience most users don't use them anyway. > > **Cons**: It would be desirable to count on more plugins to integrate external tools. > > We use chamilo to offer our researchers and teachers a place to create their learning courses, collaborative areas and support materials for very different uses. Right now we have over 30000 users enrolled. ----- ### "It is a very useful platform for learning and handling." — 5.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *3 April 2022* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Super easy to use, it allows a quick learning in addition to the fact that the people who use it, are older, it allows it to be easier to handle. > > **Cons**: With the updates, older people have had to be trained in its use, although afterward they no longer have problems. > > App to be used more if you want to use it as a means of learning and more information to use in updates for seniors. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/77973/chamilo?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/77973/chamilo) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
