Pros
"What I like about Google Classroom are the video lessons. I enjoy using it because it makes my life easier, for example, I can easily change my class and my lecture notes.""I can see all the submissions in a central place.""I would rate the initial setup a nine out of ten. It is very straightforward.""The product's initial setup phase was easy.""Company-wise, the most important feature is that it is a product of Google. It is a part of Google Suite. With Google Classroom, you can easily embed a Google Sheet, Google Doc, or Google Form. You can easily create a quiz in Google Form. It is integrated with Google Drive. So, everything is on Google Drive, and you can easily use it. With single sign-on, you can use it with Google Apps as well.""This solution integrates with all the other Google apps including Google Calendar and Google Docs. This makes it very easy to manage.""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 to meet people and it is online."

Cons
"The product's UI needs improvement.""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.""The initial setup of Google Classroom is straightforward. The deployment took us two to three months because we had to train the faculty.""There are a lot of things that need to be fixed in order for it to be called a learning management system. I think that's where a lot of people are very confused in terms of what Google Classroom actually does. Google Classroom is not a learning management system. A learning management system allows teachers to grade with authenticity and doesn't provide only one grade for a particular document or assignment.""It would be useful if this solution had its own online teaching platform with an integration with a Google video conferencing tool.""The solution's GUI is an area of concern currently that can be considered for improvement in the future.""The user interface of Google Classroom could improve by being more user-friendly.""Google Classroom could improve by having better integration with other platforms, such as Google Meet."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We are an educational institution, and it is free of charge for us. Normally, if you are a private company, you have to pay a lot of money to get this service, but they are giving it for free to schools."
  • "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."
  • "We did not need a license to use Google Classroom."
  • "I'm using a free version of Google Classroom, so it's a product I don't pay for."
