"It is a one-stop shop solution, where you can actually log in using your Windows username and password, and the single sign-on can be configured with this LMS."

"Its user-friendly interface is most valuable. You can configure your welcome page and design it the way you want on your own."
"The Meeting feature is similar to a conference call facility that can be used for virtual meetings."
