There are those who provide the first year free of customer service/tech support. Customer service can be personalized and turnaround time is fast. Very poor customer service and support. You would be surprised to see that many mid size to very large vendors, charge exuberant prices for seats. E-Learning 24/7.

But with LMS vendors jumping into the mobile learning sector, at least in some cases, it may be a tad misleading. One of the most irritating things I see in the market, is when a feature or service that is commonly free turns into a fee based. E-Learning 24/7. Browser Agnostic. Pay for the Privilige.

Often misleading in a vendor’s pitch is that they are truly global, when in fact nothing could be farther than the truth. Many vendors service multi-conglomerates that are international, rather than companies that are based only in country x and no where else. Mobile Learning. Two levels of thought.

Again, as previously listed, many large size vendors are turning into more a Human Capital Management system then a solo TM, heck even a LMS.
