They have maintained a clean UI/UX despite the risk of bloatware that comes with time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Product development strategy has become unfocused (examples including vagueness and changes to use of community site and the endless rollout of new quizzes). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Top notch Accessibility, Not very hard to figure out stuff considering the courses change per semester. I use it daily since last 2 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The 2 factor authantication can be a little annoying sometimes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like most about Canvas LMS is its interface, since during my studies, I used it and was delighted, I could check my grades and talk to my teachers without any problems, I also value the ability of Canvas LMS to efficiently organize and manage my academic calendar, reminding me of important dates and deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I didn't like about Canvas LSM is that sometimes it had glitches and the software would crash, and the assignments I sent wouldn't appear. Additionally, some tools in the software were very complicated to use. I also think there should be a broader customization option for us users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Canvas is a robust LMS that our students in Grades 6 through 12 use on a daily basis. The ability for Canvas to pass grades back to our Student Information System and use LTI plug-in to connect to other products, such as EdPuzzle and our curriculum online textbooks makes it an invaluable tool for our educators.

Canvas is a little too sophisticated for our K-5 students and Educators. We piloted it in the past, and the students and teachers had a level of difficulty organizing and following their daily curriculum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is very user friendly and excellent for archiving classes.
It's ease of use and customer support is really impressive.
Has made it easy to share information with students across colleagues.
Also I like how it has made it easy to keep track of daily assignments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At the moment I can't think of any dislike it's the best! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to use interface and has good mapping to all modules. I say this from perspective of student as well as a grader/Teaching Assistant. Canvas LMS also has android and IOS app which is really helpful. It main feature I like is "To-Do List" which has list of all upcoming assignments mapped with subject and its deadline.

I wish the website had same "to-do' list with consolidated list of upcoming assignments rather than subject wise we need to go and check for its individual to-dp assignments. Its not necessity but would be good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Mostly user friendly interface. RCE various options and ability to easily integrate external resources. Ability to easily add video/audio almost anywhere. Studio. Pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
New Quizzes glitches/shortcomings, like not being able to auto award partial credit/points for one question (like sorting).
Still not very friendly for elementary - modules view, annotating on PDFs not available on web version on iPad, app doesn't match web version in design. Teachers must do a lot of page design work to be appealing to elementary kids. Needs to be even simpler and cleaner UI for younger kids, especially K-2.
External app integration needs to be easier, more consistent across platforms - some can be added at account level, some have to added at course level - hard to keep straight or know which to do where.
Really really really really wish Canvas was also an SSO. Having to authenticate or sign into other platforms, even once, to use inside Canvas, makes them unusable for younger students. Our students have to leave Canvas to go to Classlink to get to other products which kind of defeats the purpose of Canvas as a one stop shop for all learning content.

I find the customizability is fantastic once you get over your initial learning curve. You can hook in outside apps and design a beautiful course using different graphics and information that can reach all kinds of learners from auditory to hands-on projects or simulations.

There is a learning curve. I had to watch some videos to learn about a lot of the different features since I didn't have anyone to specifically teach me, so it can be overwhelming at times. While I wouldn't consider myself a newbie anymore, I also don't think I'm an expert either (though my department might disagree!). So you definately have to put the work in to learn the basic functions which some people are not willing to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The thing I like most about Canvas is how user friendly it is. The interface is very neat and clean, and I am sure this is a huge advantage for students to find their course content in an organized and efficient manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The thing I dislike most about Canvas is that the mobile application version seems to be neglected when compared to the web version. Our school conducted a feedback event and we found that all of our students are using the mobile application, but it can lag and glitch, and it is not nearly as accessible as the web version. To give a bit more context, we use third-party tools to enhance accessiblility (ex. readspeaker) but these tools do not work well on phones/tablets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Personally, one of the things I like about Canvas is that it contains several integrated functions that help maintain the flow of assignments, noticeably reducing the time spent checking which assignment needs to be resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a student using Canvas in my academic environment, I can say that sometimes exams have generation problems when trying to apply them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
