Pros

“Black board was one of the first web based learning for me.”
KW

Karla W.

President

“The web platform is intuitive and well organized, the menus are well positioned, I like that you can add multiple files, formats, Doc, pdf, YouTube links among others, in addition to its system to detect plagiarism.”

“It wasnt to bad migh go better with a live tutorial”

Jim M.

Administrator

Pros

“I pay for the google premium so I get extra features with google meet included, I am beyond satisfied with the value I get from that, I use meets daily for all my meetings and never have any bugs or issues.”
AD

Arran D.

CEO

“Most of our project folders have Docs for things like toolbox talk notes, subcontractor contact lists, equipment handover checklists and internal procedures.”
RS

Rishi S.

IT Administrator

“It completely eliminates the need for email attachments or physical flash drives. Despite minor UI clutter and the occasional need to manually clean up folders, it remains my go-to platform for cloud storage and team collaboration.”
RG

Ritesh G.

Fullstack Developer

Cons

“Black board was an average experience when I first used it we were just beginning to start online learning. But now blackboard is outdated and canvas is the leader .”
KW

Karla W.

President

“The table of contents in the module object does not have active links that allow students to seamlessly jump from one item to another.”
MM

Mahlaga M.

Librarian

“What I don't like about blackboard is that the app for iPhone does not have all the tools that the web version has, this makes it not fully functional, there are apps from other learning platforms that have a more detailed app, another negative point is that it does not have an internal version for streaming video, it is totally uncomfortable since it gives you a link that is only compatible with safari and cannot be used in other browsers such as Google Chrome, in conclusion the app has to have a better adaptation to provide a good user experience.”

Robert m.

Head Of Strategic Marketing

Cons

“The main things I like least are the pricing for higher storage, occasional customer support delays, a few usability complexities, file-sharing permission confusion, storage limits, occasional bugs or sync issues, and search results that can sometimes feel less precise when there are many files.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Shivam K.

Full Stack Developer

“Additionally, I hate the updated cost/storage structure where my emails count towards my Drive storage and if I want more than 15 GB I have to pay a monthly subscription or delete important/sentimental emails.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Sara S.

Client Relations Coordinator

“The one thing is in the formatting of bigger documents, sometimes tables and images do not format when you export them to other formats that can irritate them while making project reports. If the Internet connection is poor, it takes some time to sync sometimes, causing delays.”
