It works under Mysql and postgresql database systems and in any environment that supports php language. A course management system widely used in the world. In some schools, lecture notes are published here, projects are loaded here, examples are explained here.

Good platform, needs work on overall design. Not as easy to integrate API tools as I thought for a non-technical founder.

Performance of Moodle Across Market Features

Moodle Likes & Dislikes

Support and community forums are quite extensive. A large number of new features modules are constantly being developed and distributed free of charge. We find it useful for distance education.

Ease of download. Simple integration with existing domain. Breadth of learning tools.

Its ease of customization, flexibility and support groups. One will get everything regarding it online, that too free. Massive amount of people are working on it right now.

Quite successful. there is no failure...

It was hard to deploy without technical or coding skills. It did not integrate with modern teaching tools like I thought. It overall was very out-dated looking and needs a complete remake. No mastery paths or engaging design/dashboard to encourage social learning or student engagement. More for higher ed than K-12

Graphical user interface is not that attractive.
