The overall quality, ease of use, features & functionality of blackboard make it a great software for college students and college campuses to invest in.

This app helps getting virtual teaching done with ease with presentations being easily shared for students to view while the lecturer teaches.

I enjoy the set up for BB Collab, that it is integrated into Blackboard, that is has features like the white board and file sharing. I also appreciate that it logs late students and attendance.

Great product that I use when I went to a community college. We use to use this as our online resources for materials like class work or books and etc.

I enjoyed using Blackboard as a student of a local community college.

I hate the bloat of menus and how user design does not seem to be considered. It is difficult to navigate and temperamental.

I like that it is fully integrated into blackboard. It is fairly easy to setup and assign to a class.

The only downside is that blackboard is indeed a blackboard.

Amazing UI and a great source of location independence but reduce the price.

I love using blackboard because its good for tests, quizzes, homework assignments, and posting notes and info needed.

This software is very intuitive navigation and interactions, the option about the blackboard in streaming video is funny, like drawing shape and the text.

Easy to integrate several options, excellent desing , easy to user and avaliable Intelligence data analisis.

Blackboard collaborate left me with a dislike for online courses. Not sure if I will enroll in any online course which uses Blackboard colaborate as their platform.

They make it so you can upload PDF into files, and share those with the users on the screen. This feature is nice as you only have to upload it once.

A feature that I absolutely love about this software is the breakout rooms for group projects. I love that professors can break us into groups and it is not difficult to see in Blackboard.

I like that the software was easy to use. I was able to learn the functions of the software on my own without any extensive training.

Robust package of features for online learning and collaboration. Relatively easy to use interface if you spend the time learning about all of the features.

Blackboard Collaborate is easy to use and integrates well with other Blackboard products. It has been helpful with trainings.

My overall experience with Blackboard has been unsatisfactory. I have used blackboard for 4 years and the terrible UX design of the website still remains.

Blackboard is a pretty good tool. The user interface reminds me of Facebook, especially how the comments feature looks.

The best thing about this design is that it is a shared experience with you and multiple users. It’s video and audio quality is clear.

I had a really good experience with Blackboard, it is user-friendly and easy to navigate.

Consider: cost, how many attendees you'll have, how often you'll use it, and what support you'll have.

I have always found blackboards functionality to be difficult and the platform confusing even with support.

Blackboard Collaborate was a lifesaver for our school. While many teachers opted to use zoom for class meetings, we however were able to utilize Collaborate as part of or program.

I think that this has been a great way to learn new things. It is free, and it is a great for anyone needing to save money and is a student.

Occasionally, the interface can be confusing, such as a collapsing menu bar. There is a brief learning curve to get used to the navigation.

The software occasionally has glitches or lags during virtual classes. Students and instructors have trouble logging in and staying in.

Overall, Blackboard has been a great solution to online learning. I think it's an essential software for any e-class.

We expect our students to be tech savvy, and it is embarrassing when our software does not hold up to this same standard.

Quip has great integration, it's a great platform for project management and customer service is great.

Quip is frustrating because it's really clunky and restrictive.

Quip is free/inexpensive. And it's easy to add people, so collaboration is a breeze.

Absolutely happy how it worked for our company with Quip. It was also a big help to find everything I needed when I joined the company.

Another nice feature of this tool is that you can mention people in the document and assign them to some action.

Quip UI is really smooth, and feels new! it has a good functionality to provide the revision history for the document, which I think is very useful.

I think the UI is missing basic functionality. It is hard to revert to an old version or it can get slow if too many people are using it at once.

Great For Large Teams - Pricing Prohibitive For Small Business.

First to start off their customer service is phenomenal, lots of follow up and FAQ information at your fingertips. I enjoy that they integrate well with salesforce.

I like that it's secure but its not that intuitive or easy to use. I wish it were because the security is a good feature.

Ones stop Project Management and collaboration tool.

Quip as a great collaboration and organizing tool.

Software and/or updates can sometimes be slow or laggy. Other than this, I can not think of any other problems we have ran into.

I really hate how embedded images work. It's bordering on impossible to make it look how you want and you'll have to compromise on it looking sort of crappy.

There's only a limited level of customization available for users.

Sometimes it is hard to undo your action for example by mistake if you delete anything in a doc, the normal undo command does not work.

The design and layout is superb, I specifically love how you can folders visually and it is attractive.

First time using Quip, easy to use and adaptable.

I like working with Quip, because of the fuss-free UI, it's just a simple slate where you can integrate tasks, spreadsheets, code snippets and many more. You can add comments and have version control.

Overall good platform for what we need and really appreciate the transparency it provides for our projects.

For collaborative document sharing, editing and creation, Quip is a solid choice especially if you rely on integration with Salesforce data.

I like being able to literally cross off your list of todos,  It's nice to see a task completed with a nice strike through it.

Sometimes some features are lost because you don't find where to use those.

I enjoy working with Quip as it is very easy to use and it has a lot of features and tools not only for time management, project planning it is also very helpful for online collaboration.

Give it a try, it is well worth the money and provides flexibility for a whole range of projects and tasks.

The fact that everything is there and it's secure and I'm always adding to it makes it more valuable for me and my team every day. Especially when I can pull up costs or ideas when out and about.
