Modern and Well Supported

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Canvas from other similar products?

Has acquired many schools and has become popular by replacing older and legacy systems. The modern interface and the mobile app / responsiveness is expected.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The many LTI / 3rd party tools that support working with Canvas.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The Administrator portal lacks functionality and control that would help in maintaining the system. A good example is not having a proper method of finding information in the logs or how to "undelete" content.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Look at the costs versus your requirements to ensure that value is there. Most LMS' are not as modern as Canvas but may meet your needs without the additional costs for your needs.

Pros

  • Unique Features
  • Efficient Service
  • Caring
  • Saves Time

Cons

  • Less Generous
