Summary

In Forrester's 90-criteria evaluation of learning management system (LMS) vendors, we found that Saba, SumTotal Systems, and Plateau Systems lead the pack by providing feature-rich offerings and serving a broad international customer base. GeoLearning also climbed into the Leader category with a software-as-a-service (SaaS) only product. SAP, Cornerstone OnDemand, and CERTPOINT Systems are "cuspids" — they now straddle the Leader and Strong Performer categories by deepening their product functionality over the last year. Oracle PeopleSoft, Mzinga (formerly KnowledgePlanet), and OutStart are Strong Performers that offer a solid learning solution. Oracle Learning Management (OLM) and Learn.com are lower in the Strong Performer category, with Learn.com offering a good SaaS solution and OLM providing learning management functionality for existing Oracle eBusiness suite customers.
