  • Sometimes notifications can be overwhelming or easy to miss, and a few features, like the grading or messaging tools, can feel a bit clunky or confusing at first.

  • It's a great tool and one that has revolutionized our experieince as an institution - moving from antiquated methods to operating at light speed.
  • Massive additional costs during deployment, a tendency to confusion among the supposed "experts" around how basic pieces of the software worked, forced third party software changes that were unnecessary and expensive, and a quote that was clearly lowballed with the expectation that we'd end up paying on the back end for additional products that we didn't know were needed made this whole process less than good.
