Senior Engineer at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees
Seamless collaboration has improved how I manage assignments, deadlines, and class resources
Google Classroom has the very best feature of assignment workflow, which is its core strength. I can create it, assign it, submit it, and have a grade on it all in one flow, so there is nothing to be changed. It also has real-time collaboration, allowing multiple students to work on the same documentation or assignment simultaneously, and the teacher can also see that and comment live. It has an automatic file management system where I can save my work, which is important because sometimes I do an assignment and forget to save, losing those assignments. This feature includes built-in video learning, allowing me to directly join classrooms via Google Classroom. It also supports Google Forms, Google Slides, and is very mobile-friendly. Google Classroom has reduced time in task tracking because I can have clear ownership and deadlines for everything. It has helped me to appreciate structured workflows by ticketing systems and improved collaborations, allowing many people to work together. I can understand that time has also been reduced. It has a limited impact on deep technical skills, but that is also good. It has helped me to understand structured workflow and utilize real-time features through Google Docs and Drive.

You will be happy with the product, product support and service level provided.
Ease of use, and nice look and feel to the end users – both very valuable to us Better customization of reporting inside of Grovo instead of creating outside of the platform at an additional cost. Our organization has been using Grovo for 2 months. Reporting had a few bugs – nothing major. No,…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The customer service and support are very good."
"Google Classroom is very effective for communication and excellent for assigning homework and resources."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its performance."
"Classroom is wonderful for collaboration, and it integrates well with YouTube so it’s easy to incorporate live and archived video content."
"The features I found most valuable in Google Classroom are live chatting, sending messages, notifications, and accessing documents, which is very easy, simple, and user-friendly."
"I like that Google Classroom is free and integrates with the entire Google Suite, which includes Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, etc. I also like its flexibility, which makes it perfect for synchronous, asynchronous, and blended courses, and including live and archived webinars, as well as other kinds of content."
"The most valuable feature of Google Classroom is the ability for the lecturer to put in work. Additionally, the work can be graded after completion, and there can be feedback provided through the system which has a good interface."
"The most valuable feature of Google Classroom is the ability to share my lectures with many students, assign tasks to be completed, and overall student engagement."
"I appreciate the flexibility that the new Instructor Led Training offers, and visual graphics for tracking users, etc."

"Customer Service: AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. It's a huge reason why we decided to go with Grovo."
"Ease of use, and nice look and feel to the end users – both very valuable to us."
"Distributing quiz content alongside video and ability to upload documents are the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"I would like to see a better user experience, a more engaging interface, and more templates. Google should develop templates or at least encourage developers to share them. You'll only get a basic framework when you create a new course. You don't have different themes to choose from like you do in Moodle."
"Managing a larger environment of assignments or classes can become cluttered, and the notification system can sometimes be overwhelming."
"There are certain things that I can do on PowerPoint that I cannot do on Google Presentations and Google Slides, such as using PowerPoint's animation feature, I have found that PowerPoint is generally more feature-rich and offers a wider range of tools that I can use to prepare and enhance my presentations."
"There are a lot of things that need to be fixed in order for it to be called a learning management system."
"Google Classroom could improve by being easier to use. For example, making it functional with only a few buttons."
"Initially, the product's initial setup phase may not seem user-friendly."
"The solution's GUI is an area of concern currently that can be considered for improvement in the future."
"It would never be my first choice except in cases of super-shoestring budgets and students who need something simple, but who are not annoyed by the clunkiness of it."
"I look forward to the capability of putting materials in folders by category...as currently the long list of modules is daunting."
"Bulk video upload is a must."
"Grouping and assigning trainings. Also, would like another admin layer built into the product."
"I think a lot of the things agreed on or promised in the initial sales discussion are proving to be more difficult or do not work the way we understood them to now that we are in set up mode."
"Better customization of reporting inside of Grovo instead of creating outside of the platform at an additional cost."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are competitors that offer free solutions, making the price of Google Classroom high."
"My child's school made payments on a subscription-based model to use Google Classroom."
"We did not need a license to use Google Classroom."
"If you do a certain size and build, it's like any Google solution. You have to pay for storage, but you don't need to pay extra to use the interface. There may be Google Classroom partners that provide more integrated solutions, but I don't know. I'm strictly DIY."
"The solution is affordable."
"I use the free version of Google Classroom."
"The product is free."
"Google Classroom is a free solution. There is paid version that has more options, the cost is approximately eight dollars per student per month."
