Overall, I love the set up of the platform. I hope more schools and training programs will use this instead of more complicated interfaces.
Pros
I really like the simplicity--reminds me of an Apple product.
Cons
Can get busy, but this is on me for not managing how many notifications I want (and for what things). Maybe there could be some automated link that pops up to cancel some notifications if we haven't clicked on them in a while.

We bought through a 3rd party. The 3rd party had lots of support but not canvas themselves unless we arranged a meeting with them
Pros
It was easy to implement and loved the accessible features like text to speech
Cons
The price was extreme for a small business like ours. There was no flexibility to work out alternative pricing for a smaller provider, therefore we would need to purchase for users far and above what we would use which did not provide value for money

Canvas is the best learning management system I have used. Assignments are easy to create, edit, and rearrange. Collapsible modules keep workflow tidy.
Pros
User-friendly. The interface makes logical sense and loads quickly with few errors. I enjoy being able to attach grading rubrics to assignments.
Cons
The navigation settings (which tools to make visible on the sidebar) are buried/hard to find.

There wasn’t much wrong with it. Maybe the updated canvas would do sometimes early in the evening when I needed it most
