Hi!
We (University of Eastern Finland) have been Moodle users for a long time already.
Moodle is our main digital learning environment.
Currently one of our development topics is learning analytics and reporting.
We already use Moodle's Custom Reports (Report Builder) for some admin use cases.
However, most of Moodle's reporting capabilities are restricted to course level.
Therefore we are currently doing market research about available analytics/reporting solutions.
This includes also LRS solutions.
Our basic situation is, that we have single Moodle LMS.
What we basically need is a platform with good basic reporting capabilities and option to easily create your own reports (including visualization)
Main use cases are learner, teacher, management levels and admins.
Solution should be able to aggregate data and provide different filtering, sorting and scheduling options.
Sophisticated analytical features are obviously a big pros for us.
I already have quite a good understanding about market situation, but I'd like to ask your recommendations, pros and cons of different solutions.
Especially, benefits of LRS solutions against other solutions.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Jani

Re: Moodle and external analytics/reporting solutions
To give some ideas:
If you connect to database and use SQL query you can "export" nearly any data to csv and work with it. The filters and graphics are the matter of the program to capture the data, OpenOffice for example.
With a script you can automate the export and have the data up-to-time.
Other kind of solution, more "beautiful", is connect the database with a tool like PowerBI and customize your report.
