What are the best aspects of this product?
Since this is our school's first learning management system, most of the students and the instructors were not familiar with Turnitin. Navigation was fairly easy with students taking it up with very little instructions because of the proper documentation.
The professors in school were impressed, noting that even with additional information and resources, the system is easy to set up.
On the user-friendliness of its UI, those who have experienced other LMS, professors and students alike, preferred to use this system. As a matter of fact, both my daughters, who attended bigger universities, like this LMS compared to the more expensive ones.
The continuous updates, gamification, additional features, and interactive design make this a great deal, with emphasis on teaching and learning rather than IT.
One does not have to be a master of design in order to have a great looking classroom. And students no longer have to follow multiple portals to get the information and materials they need.
What aspects are problematic or could work better?
If anything, it would be the limited room for personalization.
What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?
NEO is an all-around solution to make schooling a virtual pursuit without sacrificing quality and fun. It manages attendance, grades school work, allows social interaction, integrates seamlessly with various platforms that can enhance learning and is accessible through mobile devices.

What are the best aspects of this product?
NEO LMS commitment to steady and continual innovation in relation to user feedback! Ability to design lessons and assignments as I like using HTML Editor with images, video embeds, and file uploads. WYSIWYG MS Word copy and paste function into HTML Editor. Intuitive user-friendly layout with the portal carousel that rocks. Gradebook at year-end makes it super simple to figure out grades by ranking. My students are always impressed with my use of NEO LMS. They say it's better than our in-house system, and I'm at 3rd ranked liberal arts uni in South Korea. Many of my colleagues use it too, though as Individual users not linked by a common school.
What aspects are problematic or could work better?
Limited to no customer support for Individual Plans, only Enterprise Plans; I'd like a limited number of question/support tickets per year for Individual Plans.
What features/services would you like to see in future versions of this product?
NEO LMS has a Suggestions page where I can add these requests 24/7/365.
What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?
Clunky Moodle site was replaced with sleek and stunning NEO LMS. No comparison. I've seen multiple friends of mine switch from Moodle to NEO LMS after seeing what I do with my classes.

What are the best aspects of this product?
We’ve found NEO to be very intuitive for students and teachers, while providing plenty of access to advanced features. The quality of the basic templates and settings means that instructors don’t need to be designers to set up the classroom, but professors who want to play will find plenty of opportunities. It also provides plenty of flexibility for many kinds of class experiences whether online, onsite, or blended. The number of extra features and intuitiveness of the system make this an excellent deal for the school budget (we’re a small two year college and low maintenance for many LTI integrations.
The response time of the support team is also notable.
What aspects are problematic or could work better?
If you’re looking for lots of LTI integrations, you may find mixed results as NEO is still on 1.0. An upgrade is on the Fall roadmap. Administering the accounts is pretty straightforward, but you will want to use the trial version to determine if the account setting options are robust enough (they are for us.
What features/services would you like to see in future versions of this product?
Aside from the LTI upgrade and more documentation (features get added/upgraded pretty rapidly, we’re satisfied with what’s already offered and feel new iteratations appear frequently enough to keep this fresh.
What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?
We moved to NEO after having spent a few years with smaller services linking different features together. NEO provided a low-cost but robust solution to managing students and teachers while providing a centralized location for record keeping and teaching/learning.

The thing I like the best is you can differentiate instruction.
The scrollbar on the right of the gradebook is to tiny and it would be great if I could see more of my students without scrolling.
None, except the scroll bar in the gradebook.
It eases the teacher load by being able to create quizzes that are graded by the computer.
This is our school’s first LMS, so aside from navigating the sections of Turnitin, most students and teachers had not used an LMS previously. Students took to it right away with very little explanation (though the documentation is great, too. To a person, the professors at our school have been impressed with how easy it has been to set things up and add information and resources, and still have a clean look. From a UI perspective, every instructor with experience in another LMS has preferred this one, as have several students, and both my daughters, who attend much larger schools using more significantly expensive LMSs.
Gamification, group interaction options of all sorts, and continual updates and added features with easy integration make this a great deal and keep the focus on teaching and learning rather than IT. Instructors don’t have to master design to get a great looking classroom, and students don’t have to follow multiple portals to get all their information.
As this is a smaller LMS, there are limitations to customization, and it’s only LTI 1.1 compliant currently (though LTI Advantage is on the Q2 2018 roadmap. That said, the engineers work rapidly and regularly deliver new and improved operations.
Test a few classes with the trial version and check out all of the documentation for users (administrators, teachers and students, including the videos, diagrams and articles. Also keep up with the excellent response time in the support forum (only paying customers can use it, but it demonstrates the timeliness of service and provides some terrific insights into the product.
NEO LMS provides great all-in-one operability from the LMS end including gradebook, attendance (by date and time period, if needed, LTI integration, partnerships which speed up a number of the integrations, customized reports, multiple communication channels, campus announcements, calendars, groups, and a host of other items which, in our case, allow our school to avoid spending time and money on multiple services.
Lots of built in features to make record keeping an ease. It could also assit with lesson presentation
None. The software satisfy everything I need.
Its one of the best I have ever come across
Made my life alot easier as a teacher
At The REALM, a public school of choice, we are so grateful to have NEO as our LMS. The feature we like best about NEO is that it is user friendly for our middle school students, and allows them to move through a self-paced curriculum.
There is nothing to dislike. Even though there are some features we hope will eventually be added, our school believes that this is the best system out there.
This LMS is a perfect fit for a Blended Learning School program.
The REALM is a school that utilizes NEO
CypherLearning really did their homework and come up with one of the best LMSes as far as I've been through with regards to UserExperience and Graphical User Interface! It's nice and clean, easy to use - you don't need to invest in a solid support team locally! The system just works - educators focus on teaching and students on learning!
We would like to see NEO with much more functionality and options for teaching in Higher ED, which supports extended idea of socializing,e.g. where students can self-organize in own socialized learning arenas and functionality for high impact of interaction.
