I tried the free version, and it seems that only with the paid version I was going to be able to do the things I wanted, but no... I couldnt make it work. I tried getting a special server just for Forma.lms but I still couldn't get it to work.
I tried to find support and couldn't find it either, so... I just paid for something I couldn't use.
Pros
the pricing looked great, also the capability of handling different customers in one place is amazing.
Cons
I couldnt install it. I rented a different server just for the software because of the different requiremts, but still it didnt worked. I couldnt get any support or help.
Response from FormaLms
Hello Felipe,
thank you for your review, yet I think you are making some unfair statements.
First of all, the LMS is open source like Moodle and Chamilo and there is no such thing as a free or paid version.
The latest version is reserved to association members, but even the previous versions work greatly. We appreciate you decided to become a member.
You don't need a special server for Forma more than for Moodle or for a CRM or any enterprise level application: you just need a server that complies with the installation requirements.
Concerning the search for support: when exactly did you contact us for support?
If we can help you in any way, feel free to get in touch with us.

Generally, I like it as my students don't have any problem using it and navigating it.
Pros
there is no initial cost associate with it, where if you want to use WP or any platform you need to spend more than $200/year. I like the straight forward course creation and adding a registration page and be able to create courses and share materials between the students
Cons
the difficult process for me was to figure out how to create a course and how they gonna look like for the end-user. I strongly believe Forma LMS needs to create a course to teach how to use the software. Also some of the options you need to integrate with, it would be great if it comes with it.
