There are a good amount of helping documentations with Moodle you can find almost anything on their documentation. I’m happy to say that still our students using it daily.

- If you need to customize some functionalities requires a Moodle programmer
- The look and feel a bit outdated even if you use a theme it feels like bit older

One of the best LMS I have used, you may get an LMS ready to use however, it's very difficult to get a product a Moodle which can be curated as per your needs with full freedom of customisation.
Pros
The range of customisation Moodle offers is top notch. You.may customize starting your brand logo to every aspect of content, course, lessons and assessment.
Cons
It really takes effort to initially setup and you need a tech person to set it up and the administrator needs a lot of hands on training before learning the complete features.
Reasons for Switching to Moodle
The fact that we could use it as trail before implementation and could understand if the products fits us. The other products did offer trail but with certain drawbacks to their premium features. We used noodles figured it was great and our team loved it.Response from Moodle
