Learning Management System (LMS) has recently gained significant popularity. Modern learning is scientifically based and has adapted the education and learning systems accordingly. Today, the Moodle LMS platform, the most widely used in the learning process, positively impacts the learning system. As a result, the platform is utilized in both developed and developing countries. Therefore, understanding the factors affecting Moodle LMS usage is crucial. This study focuses on exploring students' and instructors' perceptions and viewpoints regarding the success of Moodle LMS in e-learning. Questionnaires were distributed to universities in Iraq that use Moodle, as well as to Near East University. The data was collected from 416 voluntary instructors and students from various universities utilising the survey method, and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS. Regression analysis revealed variations between the quality factors that predict user satisfaction, usefulness, system use, and benefits. The dependent variable's quality factors were technical, information, service, support system, education, instructors, and learners. The results showed that two factors — technical system quality and information quality — did not support the model. Additionally, educators did not accept the instructor quality factor. Some hypotheses were supported by students' viewpoints but were rejected based on instructors' perceptions.
