    Thinkific is a very good LMS for starting or scaling your customer education program or Academy. It has all the required capabilities to easily manage an academy without much technical prowess. I especially like their learner analytics module which gives deep insights about the learner engagement.

Dislike

Course controls like video completion and disabling fast forwarding were initially part of our tier, but were moved to a higher with no notice or recourse for existing customers. This type of thing happened frequently, causing issues with learning integrity and audits. Not very customizable overall, and doesn't have many options to truly gamify/upsell/contact users. Onerous to use for professional continuing education. Missing several of what I consider to be standard features of an LMS.
