Sanket-Shinde - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Renelia Villanueva - PeerSpot reviewer
Vice President & Group Head People & Workplace Management at PLDT Enterprise
Integrated employee data has improved HR coordination but reporting and interface still need work
The GUI of SAP SuccessFactors Learning is still not very good. The drop-downs are too limited. One thing I want to have is an advisory banner with highlighted font that employees can visibly see during login, but support indicated this cannot be done. I have already raised this request to the support team, and they mentioned that the same request has come from other companies.

"I would rate the initial setup a nine out of ten. It is very straightforward."
"The most valuable features of Google Classroom are the meetings, mark book, and assignments."
"Google Classroom is simple to use."
"The most valuable feature of Google Classroom is its clouds based. It can be accessed anywhere. Additionally, the GUI is good, we have not had any complaints and the platform has built-in security. For example, email has protection."
"Google Classroom is a good start if you are only starting with VLE."
"The most valuable feature of Google Classroom is the ability to meet people and it is online."

Cons

"We have previously used Moodle which is an overall better solution than Google Classroom."
"Technical support from Google has been very frustrating in unrelated areas like Google Pay and Google Wallet. It has been quite challenging, with unresolved tickets and a lack of response creating lots of frustration."
"It would be useful if this solution had its own online teaching platform with an integration with a Google video conferencing tool."
"We found that Google Classroom is it is missing a lot in current engagement. We know it has got guardian access, where it sends the reports to the guardian at the end of either the week or the month, depending on how you set it. However, it lacks collaboration between the teacher, student, and parents. The engagement is mostly between the student and the teacher. If you have a school similar to ours, where you're dealing with little children where the parent is supposed to be engaged, you need a system that can engage them as well. It's good for senior students, but not for our students."
"Google Classroom could improve by having better integration with other platforms, such as Google Meet."
"There's room for improvement in the offline functionality. When you're working with a class, you can't close the class or perform certain tasks when you're offline."
"It would be helpful to add voice or audio capabilities to the classrooms instead of text only."
"The solution's GUI is an area of concern currently that can be considered for improvement in the future."
"The flexibility and user-friendliness of the user's front end can be improved."
"The GUI and dashboards are areas in the solution with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The GUI of SAP SuccessFactors Learning is still not very good."
"Some features of SAP SuccessFactors Learning that require improvement include reporting tools and dashboarding, which are not so good, and integration is really difficult."
"Licensing is a major challenge in the solution."
"Support needs improvement."
"The certifications are valid for only six months."
"The technical support team has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Google Classroom has been reasonable."
"The product is free."
"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."
"There are competitors that offer free solutions, making the price of Google Classroom high."
"Google Classroom is a free solution. There is paid version that has more options, the cost is approximately eight dollars per student per month."
"I use the free version of Google Classroom."
"I'm using a free version of Google Classroom, so it's a product I don't pay for."
"We did not need a license to use Google Classroom."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a one out of ten."
"The solution is expensive, but it's a good product."
"The pricing changes and the license amount is quite costly."
"Compared to Workday, SAP SuccessFactors Learning is not an expensive solution."
"The licensing cost for SAP SuccessFactors Learning is rather expensive, but it's not the only SAP tool my company uses in the suite, so it's very hard to compare prices."
"The price of SAP SuccessFactors Learning could be better, it is expensive. There is an annual subscription. It's overpriced for small enterprises."
"A company is required to pay annual licensing fees."
"SAP SuccessFactors Learning is an on-premise solution, there is a one-time fee, which will be given by a company during the implementation. Additionally, there are support fees, which are annual."
