Export/Imports through software with API make integrating with other SIS systems quick and easy.
Pros
Also, they have an API that is well documented.
Cons
There are annotation aspects for drawing on worksheets, what I do not like is there is two different version. One is really one looking and isn't really intuitive.

The integration with G Suite is beneficial with reducing the time needed to edit content in multiple classes.
Pros
I also like the ability to collaborate with colleagues to create activities/assessments together and share then easily with each other.
Cons
There are some features (feedback for the new assessments, reporting features for the gradebook) that are missing that would be really helpful, particularly for remote learning.

Pros
We've used several vendors for our Learning Management System (LMS), and Schoology has the most user-friendly and intuitive interface.
Cons
This is a relatively minor point and can be worked around, but I would like to see the ability to have a live ics feed imported into the existing calendars in Schoology as many districts or schools already have calendars in place that should be easier to integrate.

Recommendations to others considering Schoology
I would recommend having users from varied experience levels and grade levels be included in the evaluation phase, if you are looking at a solution for multiple grade level bands that will be adopted readily by people with different levels of comfort using technology. In our case, we wanted a solution that could be readily adopted by all users and was flexible for different grade levels (K-12), so it was important to have those voices represented.
Schoology has transformed my own teaching and assessment strategies, and I have seen it greatly impact the classrooms of my colleagues. It remains one of my top recommendations for any educators across the educational technology spectrum.
Pros
Schoology excels at communication (to your entire course, co-workers, or individual students) compared to other learning management systems.
Cons
However, if you are willing to be creative, the platform engages very cleanly with third party tools to accomplish any functionality that may have been lost.

The teachers really liked using it. Nobody really had any problems while we were using it.
Pros
They sync with a large number of third parties and if there was a feature that they didn't have then they were most likely already working on getting it implemented.
Cons
My only real complaint was that in the middle of the year there was a new requirement that tried to force all of our user's to email Schoology a copy of their drivers licenses or our data was going to be deleted.

Overall, Schoology is a great learning management system and has made delivering content and assesssment student progress a much more manageable task.
Pros
What I like most about Schoology is it's ease of use. The interface is clean and takes on a social media feel which most of its users will be used to and appreciate.
Cons
For example, the launch of the new assessments feature was very exciting because it open up more question types, but lacked some of the features so beneficial to students and educators.

Schoology is an excellent platform for blended learning or situations where online learning is supplemental to face-to-face learning. For higher education, or fully online learning, it has a long way to go to catch up with the industry leaders.
Pros
As an Enterprise user, I have access to the full suite of analytics and universal settings, which are powerful. The mobile apps are feature-rich as well.
Cons
And while it features a social media "wall" of recent activity across one's courses, the interface looks like an old Facebook.

It has afforded me an opportunity to totally revamp my district's PD to something more teacher centered, self paced, and differentiated, by putting together an online database of modules tailored to our specific district needs.
Pros
The best features are Schoology's ability to integrate with other tools, as teachers can embed edtech tools such as Padlet, Polleverywhere, Thinglink, etc into a Schoology assignment using their LTI integration.
Cons
I also think a way to automatically award badges upon completion would really help teachers cut down on time awarding them.
