User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate that the Sensei plugin provides robust functionality for creating and managing online courses, including features like interactive quizzes, course progression, and integration with WooCommerce for selling courses. Users also commend the plugin for its ease of use and the effective structure it provides for courses, lessons, and quizzes. Many reviewers find it relatively affordable compared to similar LMS plugins. However, there are notable drawbacks. Users criticize the limited design flexibility and the cumbersome customization process, especially with color changes. Support is frequently described as unhelpful, particularly for the free version. There are also several technical issues, such as errors in saving settings, non-functional quizzes, and poor compatibility with some WordPress themes and builders. Additionally, some users have experienced critical bugs that compromise the reliability of the plugin.

Sensei can do a lot for you, but if you’re no noob in building websites and really demand flexibility and free styling, it’s not as easy as they pretend it to be. It’s all possible, but you have to be a pitbull. This topic was modified 3 months, 2 weeks ago by persoonlijkvaardiger.

Flexible tool that allows full control over course management.

I like the functionality but unless you simply accept the fact support considers ANY request for help changing the default colors as “beyond the scope of support” you’re never going to get along with it. Sure there are “some” tools to help change colors but as of todays date there is no tool to change the ugly greenish color of the “Complete Lesson” or “Take Quiz” button or even change the color of the button text. You’ll also notice the defacto, “it must be a conflict with your theme” excuse thrown around constantly. Frankly in my tests these issues exist in their theme too. It doesn’t matter if using the free or paid version. The support is useless. Which makes this LMS an option only for those who are developers themselves and not teachers or educational businesses. It doesn’t deserve the 1 star I gave it.

I have used Sensei for almost a year now and I am very pleased with both their excellent support and the plugin itself, which fills my needs of an excellent LMS that can teach people in different ways.
