Incredibly stable, but can be a bit stiff.
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Canvas from other similar products?
The stability and consistency of Canvas is far superior to the other LMS's that I have interacted with. And in the field of education, particularly online education, stability is imperative.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favorite aspect has to be how easy it is to manage courses and accounts on the backend. The ability to import from CSV files to not only populate courses and enrollments, but also manage accounts is amazing.
What do you dislike most about this product?
While I understand the tradeoff for stability, it can be difficult to make certain adjustments to the student experience, particularly on an activity level, as the html options available limit some creativity.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I would highly recommend reaching out to their team and demoing the product. This will give you a pretty accurate feel for the LMs as a whole.
Pros
- Reliable
- Enables Productivity
- Respectful
- Acts with Integrity

Canvas, an excellent tool for online courses
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Canvas from other similar products?
We use Canvas in our company for staff training courses, and it has helped us enormously in the organization of all the workshops and seminars we conduct for our remote and local employees. We like it because we can place all the available material in the COMMON tab and the participants can see all the courses they can access for their training.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It is compatible with many other applications and tools, such as Skype, Google drive, making it much easier and dynamic workshops and the participant-instructor relationship. And this feature has helped us a lot, as it ensures that everyone is notified through the various channels of new courses and workshops that are available. It adapts to different mobile devices such as Smartphone, Tablet, iPad, etc. So you do not need to be on a computer to view the course or dictate it. All the software is very intuitive and very easy to use, I particularly upload my courses to the platform without any problem and very quickly and easily.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Although it adapts to all mobile devices, its version for these is not configured as it should, it is much more complicated to see all the available options, so if you want to upload the course, to avoid wasting time, it is better to do it on a computer. Technical support is only available in the paid version.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It has helped us a lot with the constant training of our staff, and despite some negative points of the platform, there are more advantages that Canvas has. It has a very dynamic way of presenting courses and workshops, it is easy to use for both instructors and participants and that is why we chose it over its competitors.
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Trustworthy
