Pros
EasyCampus lets me stay connected with my colleagues and my students as well. I like that the communication is easy as well as content creation. Also very affordable which is great if you are starting your own business.
Cons
Lacks some of the integrations related to easy communication such as Skype.

The overall experience has been very good. The technical support has always been prompt and on point. The automatic increase in price after the first year can come as shock if not expecting it and for small organizations it could be a hindrance. The product for the money is excellent and students have had minimal to no complaints with the LMS.
Pros
Building courses within the application is quick and easy. The software is allows easy addition of courses, quizzes, and games to enhance the learning experience along with the ability to customize the landing/homepage to meet business needs. The product has a modern look that can be customized to meet organizational color standards or market new/existing products. Additionally, it has the ability to be tied into common web based meeting applications reducing the need to log into multiple applications.
Cons
The integrated open source Big Blue Button API struggles to perform as well as existing more mature applications, such as Zoom or Go TO Meeting, and can require greater demands on internet resources than the existing resources impacting the quality of video / recording when broadcasting live. The administrative side has a few quirks, such as adding new students to courses with multiple profiles (in class vs online) can be frustrating for new administrators when setting up / enrolling new students, but it becomes a minor flaw once figured out.

Overall, the service and willingness of the Educadium Dev Team (especially [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]) to work with us on any question or concern has been exceptional. We receive assistance within 24 hours or less of a request. If we want to add a feature to a course or change a process, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is always there for us. The individual attention we receive from him is greatly appreciated.
Pros
This software is very user friendly. Many of our students are not familiar with online learning. They are using this format for the first time. They are able to successfully complete their training with ease! Feedback from students on access and continuity of the system has been very positive.
As as instructor, I find the set up and use of the grade book very practical and easy to manage.
Cons
Thanks for asking!
The system does not seem to 'play well' with browsers like Safari or Edge. Also, students are not able to have consistent scores recorded if they are trying to use devices such as their phone or i-pad to view course material.
From an instructor's perspective, it seems like there are too many 'clicks' required to maneuver the system.
For example, to get to the grade book for a specific course, if my log in has expired, I click to log in, click to the homepage, click to the grade book, click to the specific course. To view a different grade book, click back to the homepage, click grade book again to go to a different course.

Great LMS service, great tech support, very pleased customer.
Pros
Great support - responsive and helpful.
If you know other LMSs, then Educadium is easy to get started with.
The trial was a great way to play and determine match for me.
Good price for a startup like mine, and then we can grow together. (Although the jump from $29/250 users to $145/2500 users is a big one - I think you need something in between).
My clients have not reported any problems with the system (other than a few errors I made :-)
Pretty intuitive.
Like the Campus reviews with live people - it was great!
Cons
Documentation isn't the greatest. I go to the Campus Questions a lot and there's only a minimum of things there. The full Campus guide is a little unwieldy, so you need something in between.
I need a better way for students to display work. Using the discussion forum so far. The wiki seems cumbersome to me. Not sure I like a wiki for this anyway, but I need something. And would be nice if it looked different than the forum.
Also would be great to have a central repository of items that I reuse in various courses - like videos, handouts. (If you have such a thing, sorry, I'm new and finding my way).
It would also be good to have some sort of "get you up and running webinar support" - I'm pretty well versed in other systems so just made my way, but I know there are "best practices" and ways of doing things that Educadium has that I'm just not aware of and don't have the time to go hunting for. I would have invested time in a couple of beginner webinars with live people.
