Pros
The simplicity of the system is a major strength. It is easy to navigate and the user experience (UX) is well thought-out and intuitive, enabling both administrators and users to find what they are looking for quickly.
With Learnster’s AI course builder, we can encourage in-house talent and subject matter experts to share their knowledge. That knowledge is no longer locked away, but becomes a scalable asset for the whole company.
Sympa is a highly customisable system, and you can do a lot yourself if you have the time and know-how. There is a good library of manuals and a useful help centre. Many changes can be made quickly and relatively easily.
Support and service are still very good. The experts and developers are knowledgeable and accessible. However, there used to be a faster chat service that could answer simpler queries, which was much appreciated. So, it’s a bit of a mixed bag :)
easy to use for staff and line managers

Cons
The biggest challenge is the complexity of how programmes are structured compared to individual courses. Assignments, tagging and certain settings are managed in different places, which makes it difficult to get a clear overview. This makes administration more time-consuming and increases the risk of overlooking a setting.
I would have liked it if it were possible to have more control over the layout of the training content and to have more advanced search and filtering options when setting up automation rules.
The system can sometimes feel a bit ‘sluggish’; this may be down to our environment. Reports take a long time to load, and staff cards load slowly. Changes take a while to process. However, this is a problem that comes and goes. It may be due to high usage at certain times.
reporting could be improved and the granting of access rights made easier
