Firmwater LMS
About Firmwater LMS
The Firmwater LMS is a multi-tenant LMS where each of your clients can have their own branded portal. Load and build custom courses for your clients and monitor usage through a single user interface. Course updates are automatically applied for all clients and learners.
You can also sell courses online to both B2B and B2C customers with our Shopify eCommerce integration. Bundle courses, offer discounts, and provide immediate access to purchased seats.
Use Single Sign-On so users can seamlessly access the LMS without having to create new login information. If your client already has their own LMS, use our External LMS integration to host your courses with Firmwater and deliver it through theirs - all while staying in control of your content.

Key benefits of Firmwater LMS
• Our multi-tenant architecture allows content providers to create branded LMS clients sites and manage them easily from one intuitive interface. Clients sites can be created and granted access to course content in just a few minutes.
• Build a beautiful online store and deliver your courses automatically using our Shopify integration. The entire process from purchase to course delivery becomes self-sufficient, saving you time and money.
• We work with SCORM compliant authoring tools so you can build courses from multiple components and easily update content to keep it fresh and up-to-date. Use the best authoring tool for each learning experience while maintaining content ownership and portability.
• We work with standards compliant identity providers to provide SSO access, making it easy to integrate with your clients' internal systems. This provides learners with more fluid access to course content, as they will not have to remember their credentials and enter them at each login.
• Allow learners to launch your training courses from an external platform. Learning content remains securely hosted on the Firmwater LMS but is delivered via a different LMS. You decide who gets access to your courses and for how long. Reporting can be accessed through the Firmwater client site and results are passed back to your client's LMS.

The Best LMS Value For the Money

As we grew, we discovered opportunities to bundle our courses and add more products. Then we added a knowledge shop. We know that with Firmwater support, we can continue to scale without the drama. It's refreshing in a way when as the founder, I have no technical background.
Pros
In my six years using Firmwater software, I have had not one complaint by our more than 6,000 graduates or me. Everything we requested, they either complied or showed us a better solution. After six years, I shopped to see what I might be missing. Within a few days, I knew I would be missing Firmwater. There is something magnetic about providing services beyond expectations that generates a loyal customer base, and Firmwater can count me as one of those.
Cons
When you are using a product and working with Firmwater support teams, there is nothing to like least because we are an e-commerce business, and every report and response translates to increased revenue on some level. If you are in the e-commerce business, you need to take a close look at Firmwater LMS.
Response from Firmwater

Thanks again,
The Firmwater Team

Great product, stellar customer support
Reviewed on 5/12/2019
Pros
The Firmwater LMS product is incredibly intuitive and user friendly. We are able to easily keep track of our clients and specific users, and there was hardly a learning curve. We did multiple conference calls with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], our Firmwater representative, who gave priceless instruction and suggestions again and again to get us set up. And that's what really impresses me; the customer support.
The longest it has ever taken to receive a response from their support team is still less than one business day. They are quick to respond, knowledgeable about their product and the authoring tools (I primarily use Articulate Storyline).
It would have been infinitely more difficult to set up our site without their instruction, advice, and hard work. Their help has been invaluable
Cons
I don't have any outright complaints. If a user is experiencing issues with the trainings we put out it's sometimes because they're using outdated software. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has been able to tell me if the user is on a mobile device and what browser and version they're running. It would be helpful if we could have that information.

The firmwater software does gets us by. The reporting feature is not ideal and I often question the accuracy of its data, and I feel as if I have no specified customer support manager.
Pros
Once I figured out what I needed to get done in it, it is relatively easy to use.
Cons
user interface appears outdated and reporting feature is lacking.
Response from Firmwater

Firmwater LMS setup and customer service is exceptional! The integration with a financial processing system was the main reason we selected Firmwater. We wanted an LMS that integrated with a subscription processing system to sell the course library to clients. Firmwater LMS provides self-service features to clients which was important to us.
Pros
The integration with a financial processing system was the main reason we selected Firmwater. Firmwater also provides client managers with an excellent self-service feature. Clients can subscribe, enroll/change employees access, and track employee course progress. The customer support provided by Firmwater LMS is exceptional!
Cons
The reporting features are not fully customizable, but that isn't a feature that is important to us. I don't use reporting hardly at all.

We switched from another solution and Firmwater has greater flexibility. Our support has been very responsive and able to get us running quickly. Recommended.
Pros
Firmwater is one of very few LMSs made specifically for training providers. If you want the ability to host an LMS on behalf of other clients, this is the ideal solution.
Cons
Like any LMS, there's a bit of a learning curve, but it's not bad, and the support is very good.
Response from Firmwater
Hi Scott,
Thanks for the excellent review! We're happy to see you're satisfied with your client sites and the support you've received so far. We look forward to our continued partnership.
