There was always the possibility of losing your work if you timed out or hit the wrong key, especially on a laptop.

I hate that there is not an autosave feature, specially when building quizzes. More than once, I accidentally save the quiz without saving the individual question and loose a ton of work.

Great to connect with lecturers and have a unified platform for all courses material. Allows multimedia file transfers and integration with third party application like Turnedin.

I am happy that I can accesses it from my phone... on the go.

I like it because it is easy to use and it is easily available on internet. You can download it free of cost.

It is pretty easy to use, intuitive, and organized. Their customer service is extremely helpful and responsive helping to problem solve whatever my needs have been.

Overall product experience is best in student life. It's help features is very useful.

It is easy and quick to set up even for no technical people. It is a reasonable cost depending on usage.

And also this makes students miss assignments they never saw.

The user interface is lightyears ahead of other services. The app is just as easy to use as the online version.

I have found the ease of use to be my favorite aspect, as well as the organization of the website is great to help me stay on track and keep tabs on upcoming assignments.

What I least liked about it is the fact that It lags at times.

I loved CANVAS - I highly recommend it. Very intuitive, and it keeps you organized.

The Canvas guides, videos, Community and help desk are really fabulous. Being able to access the answer to development questions 24/7 is a game changer for motivated learners.

It is one of the amazing application which is cloud-based and enables working smartly. It is a great tool that aids in better working for learning.

You need to learn how to use it, play nice with it, and it will play nice with you and with many other integratable softwares. Adapt to its quirks and you will be happy with it.

I love Canvas for all of my LMS needs. I love the ability to customize pages and design learner-centric courses for synchronous and asynchronous delivery.

Perhaps one of its best features is its plug-ins. Canvas works with other popular providers to integrate their products into Canvas.

The color theme of even and odd Courses seems weird. The odd courses are shown in a faded color which gives the illusion of inactive course.

Conva is very easy to use( user friendly). With canva am able to design flyers for my business at no cost.

The amount of different components could be confusing and as a user you may miss things if it’s not organized correctly.

It's really easy to use and it's quite intuitive.

I love that I can see my employees progress on assignments and test, as well as they can see their progress. It is easy to use for both myself and employees.

Good integration with videoconference tools, like Cisco Webex.

Also, some communication was missed as the alerts are slow, not seeming to be in real time.

It is a stable platform and has great usability. The best one for classes, scheduling, lessons and all the stuff.

The addition of external apps and ease of integration is helpful. I also really appreciate the support you can get from experts or others who share similar issues when using canvas.

My overall experience with Canvas is a great one. I did not run into any problems their customer service was unable to resolve very quickly.

I started out with what can be done for free online, having not a lot of money to spend as a start up. I could not have been more pleased.

CANVAS is a great system that I have used from both sides as a student and as an administrator, both were a great experience compared to other education systems I have used.

RollCall is the best investment we have made in technology in the last few years.

Additionally, our office and computer systems were destroyed by a fire in September 2015. We transitioned to a cloud server.

The support of this product is outstanding. I have always received prompt answers to my questions and excellent suppport from the programmers.

Customer support is so important, and this is the best I've ever worked with.

Easy to use even for an inexperienced user. All basic features that a school/university needs to keep the records, grades, etc.

Powervista got Rollcall running on this new architecture and imported our data backup in one-two days. We could not have recovered from this school IT disaster without this support.

Customer support is so important, and this is the best I've ever worked with - and that is saying A LOT.

We ve had some problems with emailing from the software. But we are working on them.

She goes above and beyond helping me whenever I call and puts me at total ease. She is always available and very, very pleasant.

Response is phenominal, fixes are immediate, and they are responsive to requests for different features, which they implement quickly.

Customer support made the process of purchasing new software much easier than anticipated. I was initially hesitant to buy new software, but I am glad I did it.

Easy to use interface with intuitive controls and functions. Flexibility to customize the wide range of features for specific application or special reporting needs.

RollCall is the best investment we have made in technology in the last few years. It can improve the quality of your database significantly by concentrating all the information here.

RollCall has been very effective for us on an overall scale. I can't say enough good things about Lynne as she has been very supportive in our transition from an inhouse system to RollCall.

Having compared RollCall with some other similar products, I would definitely recommend it as the best among them all. I am glad that our University keeps using RollCall.

As far as I am aware, there are no classes available for users short of the online tutorials, which can be very generic and not address specific issues.

Easy to install, constant updating and improving. Even without customization, we could adapt our processes to the software and make good use of most of its features.

Because of the different uses made by different customers, some of the updates made to the software create problems for us.

The designing of new reports has been hard, we have not managed it yet, except for a couple of basics. We will be working on that next.

This is much more versatile and robust than our previous system. It allows for growth in the school along with customization as required.

The organization of the Data information along with the number of reports that are available. The Customer Service is Awesome, ease of contact and knowledge of Software.
