Most teams rely on video conferencing tools that were built for meetings, not instruction. Class fills the gap with a virtual classroom that gives instructors the structure, control, and engagement tools they need to run real learning at scale. Layered on top of Zoom and Microsoft Teams, Class is purpose-built for learning while keeping instructors and learners in the familiar platforms they already rely on every day. Instructors can set up sessions faster with templates and LMS integrations. During live instruction, they can see what learners are doing, guide participation, manage breakout rooms with clarity, and keep everyone focused with interactive tools. After each session, analytics reveal what worked, who engaged, and where support is needed. Class delivers a consistent experience for every learner, whether they join a corporate training program, a higher education course, or a K-12 session. It fits into existing workflows, supports accessibility needs, and reduces the operational lift of running repeatable, high-quality instruction. Organizations use Class when they want live learning that is more than a meeting. They use it when training must deliver outcomes, when instructors need visibility and control, and when learners deserve an environment built for them. Class makes that possible. ## Class Pros & Cons **What users like:** - Users find Class to be **easy to use** , improving engagement and streamlining the virtual classroom experience.

Great Video Service! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 07, 2018 **What do you like best about Class?** I like Blackboard Collaborate from both the student and professor side of things. From the student perspective, it makes meeting with professors substaintially more accessible, whether for an online or in person class. As a professor, I enjoyed that all my courses can be on one collaborate room! **What do you dislike about Class?** There is a steep learning curve that is for sure. I needed to have others help me quite a bit. Once you get the hang of it, you definitely can use it with ease but it does take a good amount of time. **Recommendations to others considering Class:** Definitely take the time to get very familiar with the platform before commiting to using it 100% especially with students! **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** Teaching classes, taking online classes, meeting with students, collaborating ### 11. Blackboard collaborate for conference virtual meetings **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Telecommunications | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 19, 2018 **What do you like best about Class?** This is an easy to use interface for conference meetings where members are scatted around, even through different time zones. **What do you dislike about Class?** There is not much that i dislike. It allows for participants to 'raise their hand' and also type in the chat box, which some other applications do not have. **Recommendations to others considering Class:** Great for people who need to connect over multiple geographies and time zones. **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** I work for a teaching company where teachers are located all over canada. when we have monthly meetings, we use blackboard collaborate to connect, over time zones. ### 12.

My Experience with Blackboard Collaborate **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in E-Learning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 28, 2018 **What do you like best about Class?** Very easy to use. A beginner can practically jump in and figure out how to use this platform on their own. **What do you dislike about Class?** I dislike some of the limitations such as not being able to upload and/or play some file types. Our company also experiences many "hiccups" which cause the participants and moderators to get bumped out of Bb and cannot reenter. **Recommendations to others considering Class:** Very easy for the users. The curriculum portion seems a bit more difficult to learn how to create initially. Otherwise, a very good platform with many features which allows you to customize it for your needs. **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** Blackboard allows the company I work for to delivery e-Learning courses to a large group of people. Many of these people are brand new to e-Learning and not very tech savvy. Blackboard makes it easy for them to access the coursework and live sessions. This eases much of the anxiety they experience with entering into something unfamiliar to them. ### 15. Blackboard Collaborate **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in E-Learning | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 15, 2018 **What do you like best about Class?** Video conferences makes group projects easier. **What do you dislike about Class?** I have had issue in the past with the audio, but not every time. **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** I did not use in the business capacity. ### 16. Long time, satisfied BB customer **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 11, 2018 **What do you like best about Class?** I love the integration of Blackboard products for our K-12 school district. It's easy to send messages through a variety of mediums with a simply click. As a one-person shop, it saves time and effort. **What do you dislike about Class?** As BB has continued to buy up other products on the market, they need to ensure they are delivering the best in customer support for all of those products. Sometimes, it's been difficult to get a timely answer on more complex questions. **Recommendations to others considering Class:** I would highly recommend BB and it's line of products to any school PR practitioner. It's been a great product for us and I'm continually impressed with their updates and solutions. They absolutely "get" the demands of multiple audiences and the methods by which to reach them. **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use BB for all of our mass messaging solutions in schools and as the district on the while. It's user friendly, quick to use, and the day-to-day customer support is spot on. We see BB as a true solution for our mass messaging needs. ### 17. Good, but not quite perfect yet **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** John D. | Professor of English and Literature, Education Management, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2018 **What do you like best about Class?** Blackboard Collaborate provides an important venue for students who are more introverted but who still want to engage with course content. It allows the deeper thinkers to reveal their advanced observations while serving as a great place for the hesitant learner to develop their responses to instruction. **What do you dislike about Class?** Sometimes the text boxes and other dialogue components within Blackboard Collaborate can malfunction. The student or participant will be typing, video-chatting, or recording, and the box they were using will simply disappear from view. This could be a problem with hardware rather than Collaborate, but in our experience, it has happened frequently. **Recommendations to others considering Class:** Be aware of its benefits and its potential drawbacks.. Blackboard Collaborate can allow students to use the digital tools that they are native to, but it can also create digital conflicts that require monitoring and moderation by the instructor. **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** The student who might not be as engaged in the "live" classroom is made more comfortable by the degree of separation provided by BB Collaborate. Much like the student who fears eye contact being made more comfortable with glasses, BB Collaborate provides an extra "buffer" that allows students to become more authentic and think out their answers. ### 18. Blackboard Collaborate **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 05, 2018 **What do you like best about Class?** Ease of interface, ability to connect directly from Blackboard: if you already use the Blackboard platform faithfully, you'll appreciate the ability to be "centralized" and not have to go to multiple platforms. **What do you dislike about Class?** The program seems as though it is still evolving: it has the Blackboard "brand name" that makes it of course appealing to educators, but it does not have all of the sophistication of its competitors. **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** In addition to Blackboard's wonderful features like Journals, Self & Peer Assessment, and Discussion Boards, here is a way to have a more authentic interaction with students. The "Join Room" indicator is very clear, which is an improvement upon the above-mentioned tools: I have actually had students submit work late because Blackboard does not have a clear button, for example, to submit a journal: the words "Create Journal" are actually the upload link, but that is not intuitive. Blackboard Collaborate seems to be much more user-friendly! ### 19. Great solution for team work! **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2018 **What do you like best about Class?** It is a great solution when it comes to share stuff with your team **What do you dislike about Class?** I would like the interface to be a bit better but still I like it **Recommendations to others considering Class:** If you need an easy way to share information with your work mates, do video calls and make sure people are your organisation are informed at all times of what is happening. This is your tool **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** You can share pics, schedules and all kind of information you want to share with your colleagues ### 20. Decent product for group collaboration **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ruth E. | Coordinator Of Volunteers, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 29, 2017 **What do you like best about Class?** It is easy to use and to connect with other members and instructors to view live presentations and each other. Many features to it such as hands up, mute users and share documents with each other. It also records live streaming so that those can't attend or missed the live seminar can catch up by watching the recordings. **What do you dislike about Class?** There is not much to dislike about it. The only thing is you might have to install plug in to be able to use it. There are times we hear echo sounds when someone trying to connect to it. But these are minor issues and the pros overcomes the cons. **Recommendations to others considering Class:** This product has a lot of features to it. It is easy to use and can be learn within minutes. Just play around it and you will be fine. The nice thing about it is that the host can record the presentations so that it can be viewed later. **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are able to connect people where ever they are in the world into one place and interact with each other. We can discuss and show presentations among each other as if we were live in person. ### 21.

Once you are accustomed to it Blackboard is simple to navigate and use. **What do you dislike about Class?** It took me a while to get used to the layout. I always felt like I was missing something. **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's a great space for remote work and (particularly internal) webinars or seminars with engagement or feeback involved. Because of some issues logging in sometimes I'm not sure I'd opt for external webinar/seminar usage. ### 23. I had a good experience using Blackboard collaborate. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2018 **What do you like best about Class?** The thing that I liked the most is, that you could collaborate and share information, with teachers and fellow students as well. **What do you dislike about Class?** I dislike that sometimes it is difficult to find things, like which folder a paper or assignment is located in. **Recommendations to others considering Class:** I strongly recommend it for everyone. **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is helping us share stuff without having to be in the same place. ### 24.

I like that they can interact with me and the lesson. **What do you dislike about Class?** The audio set up is tedious. I wish my headset could be connected automatically. I have to complete the audio set up wizard each time I log in. **Recommendations to others considering Class:** For conferencing and meetings. Blackboard is ideal. **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's good for online high school. Teachers are able to meet with the whole class, a small group or individual students. Conferencing with students is much easier in a classroom setting. ### 25. Not intuitive **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 13, 2018 **What do you like best about Class?** It can collaborate via web with multiple people **What do you dislike about Class?** It's not intuitive and it's not user friendly **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** I can teach a class online if I can't teach in person ### 26.

Administrator and Student rating of Blackboard Collaborate **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2017 **What do you like best about Class?** By being integrated into the LMS, Collaborate allows seamless conferencing between students an instructors. It also removes the need for students to find an agreeable videoconferencing platform. **What do you dislike about Class?** Unfortunately, Collaborate has a number of drawbacks. First, in their attempt to streamline the tool, Blackboard made it too simple. Many of the options originally in the program are now gone. Additionally, because it has to go through Blackboard, Collaborate is laggy and lacks the immediate feeling of programs like Skype. **Recommendations to others considering Class:** Avoid it. Look for something not integrated into the Blackboard ecosystem. **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** We no longer needed to pay for an external solution (like webex or Connect). ### 31.

Blackboard collaborate great for PD online sessions. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jason D. W. | Educational Technology Consultant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 31, 2017 **What do you like best about Class?** We use Blackboard collaborate for our online professional development sessions. The ability to have one designated meeting link makes it easy for us to offer varied sessions but only one link. We can share the link easily via emails or flyers. If a person lost the link we have it posted on our website and they can access it very easily. The phone in part is also great for those that do not have a built in mic to their laptop. The ability to record, save and share sessions is a great feature also. It is pretty intuitive to use and very little learning curve. I highly recommend it. **What do you dislike about Class?** That our version it tied to a closed Blackboard course. We have an open source course for their professional leaning community that cannot be ties into collaborate. We still can use it and share links but it is a hang up having to maintain two "courses". **Recommendations to others considering Class:** It is a very good web based conferencing software that does not require any downloads to use. **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** The ability to have one designated link has allowed us to streamline our sessions. Previous software each session had its own link and this lead to some logistical nightmares. ### 37.

Blackboard, compatible and complete **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in E-Learning | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 06, 2018 **What do you like best about Class?** The room can be broken into individual subgroups easily, and there is a main area at the top for distribution. Audio quality is excellent and simultaneous speakers is no issue. **What do you dislike about Class?** There is a delay and often a coupe of downloads to get into the room. It takes a minute to upload slides as well (not instant) **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** Competent online classrooms with professional quality ### 40. used for school **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 04, 2018 **What do you like best about Class?** interactive and easy to present using blackboard **What do you dislike about Class?** freezes and goes too slow, skips and sometimes breaks down **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** connecting to people remotely ### 41. Great software **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Professional Training & Coaching | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 26, 2018 **What do you like best about Class?** I like how easy the software is to use. Anytime I have any issues with tech, they’re resolved within a small period of time. Great picture and sound quality running on low mbps. **What do you dislike about Class?** You can’t hear others talk when you’re talking. **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** Easy to connect with others that you’re not close to. ### 42. Great collaborate web conferencing tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Naomi H. | Instructional Program Consultant/Technology Trainer, Higher Education, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 11, 2017 **What do you like best about Class?** This tool makes it very easy to have a fully-engaged audience without being physically present. The many tools and features Collaborate offers help diminish the disconnect that sometimes can appear when performing an online conference or class. It's very easy to use, making it a good option even for people who've never used it before. **What do you dislike about Class?** You must have a strong internet connection for this to work as well as it should. If you live in remote places without a stable internet connection, this might not be the tool for you. **Recommendations to others considering Class:** Definitely consider using Blackboard Collaborate Ultra - the interface is beautiful **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** I can conduct training with employees across the country using Collaborate, which significantly reduces the expenses of face-to-face training. It allows me to provide more professional development options to employees without spending a lot of money. ### 43. It’s ok **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Outsourcing/Offshoring | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2018 **What do you like best about Class?** It’s easy to use. And easy to share with others **What do you dislike about Class?** It crashes pretty often and goes off and kicks us out randomly **Recommendations to others considering Class:** Make sure you have enough memory in your computer **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** Instructing from Home are easy with blackboard ### 44. Great Software for Collaborating! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 02, 2017 **What do you like best about Class?** I use this software mainly as a participant in national-wide organizational calls. It is so helpful and easy to use. I really enjoy the ability to watch the webinars, participate in surveys in real-time, and review slides alongside the presentation. **What do you dislike about Class?** I'm not sure if the survey icon could be different, but the moderator usually needs to prompt the audience each time to let them know that is the way to participate in the surveys. But other that I don't really have any dislikes with the software. Possibly the overall look could be updated. **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being able to connect with members across the nation and be in community. The software is mainly used for webinars, so I really enjoy being able to easily use Blackboard Collaborate to join nation-wide conversations. ### 45. It gets the job done. Most of the time. **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Liz C. | Instructional Designer, Higher Education, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 17, 2017 **What do you like best about Class?** I enjoy being able to remotely meet with people. **What do you dislike about Class?** It's clunky, first time users have to download and it is not intuitive at all. Like I said above, it gets the job done, but would not be my first choice as a virtual meeting space. **Recommendations to others considering Class:** Again, it gets the job done, but the set up process in extremely clunky. Not only do the first time users have to download and install things, but every time you set up a new room you have to run multiple things and depending on the browser you're using, it hides it, or pops it out to a new window. It's just not user friendly. **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have faculty who use it for office hours, class presentations, online help sessions. ### 46. Great presentation tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kelsy F. | Teacher, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2017 **What do you like best about Class?** I like that I have many interactive tools for all pupils who log into my sessions **What do you dislike about Class?** I wish the links within my powerpoint that I upload would be live links for people to click on while in a session. **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am able to reach many students at one time by being able to have them log in no matter what their location in the United States ### 47. An Awesome Product with Multiple Uses **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rachel H. | Coordinator of Case Management and Prevention, Higher Education, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2017 **What do you like best about Class?** I think the best feature about Blackboard Collaborate is that it integrates with email, so you don't have this completely separate entity you have to constantly check for updates on. Blackboard will notify you when you have updates, added assignments, or messages. **What do you dislike about Class?** The live class function can be pretty glitchy at times. Sometimes the PowerPoints uploaded won't work, will stall out, or will work on your end, but not the students'. That can be frustrating when you are managing an entirely online class. **Recommendations to others considering Class:** If you plan on using the live component often, you may want to look into other products as well. As far as what other functions Blackboard offers, it's great product. **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** Blackboard allows you to put everything in one place. I'm not having to constantly send multiple documents to multiple people. I can upload everything into Blackboard, and everyone can see it. ### 48. Sensible Content Management **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 30, 2017 **What do you like best about Class?** Blackboard is easy to navigate for students and faculty. The menu options are flexible to meet the needs of the class and it is not difficult to upload documents, send email communications and change user roles. **What do you dislike about Class?** The over all look of the site is outdated and messy. It is more functional than aesthetic. **Recommendations to others considering Class:** Look at the layout of other content management systems compared to blackboard. Some students find it difficult to navigate. **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use blackboard as our primary platform to communicate course content for online courses at the university where I work. The benefit is that we have been able to have 100% online programs using this particular software tool. ### 49. Solid Web Conferencing Tool for Teaching & Learning **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mariann H. | e-Learning Coordinator, Higher Education, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 20, 2016 **What do you like best about Class?** Easy to use. Browser accessible. Streamlined, clean interface. **What do you dislike about Class?** The redesigned Collaborate is missing some essential tools like file sharing, recording a chat transcript, and a private chat option between instructor & student(s). **Recommendations to others considering Class:** Consider both the presenter and end user experience. A busy interface is distracting, and more bells & whistles do not equal a better environment. Ask for Bb rep for a roadmap to learn about what's coming. Give feedback often so the platform can improve. Your voice matters! **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're able to support virtual office hours, virtual tutoring, virtual meetings, virtual guest speakers, and virtual consulting. Collaborate is a snow-day solution when classes are canceled and support faculty who want to pre-record lectures. ### 50. Blackboard collab review **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 10, 2017 **What do you like best about Class?** It's used throughout campus so it's the best we've got here at Chico State. It is easy to use and has a simple layout. It's easy to check classes and be notified when there is an upcoming test or assignment. **What do you dislike about Class?** I work in the IT department on campus. Blackboard has not been helpful with troubleshooting questions. I would like to see a better customer support system with Blackboard Collaborate. **What problems is Class solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's beneficial for teachers to keep all grades and work in one place. I have yet to solve any problems using Blackboard Collaborate. ## Class Discussions - [What is Blackboard Collaborate used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-blackboard-collaborate-used-for) - [What is class software program?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-class-software-program) - [What are classroom features?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-are-classroom-features) - [What are the features of educational software?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-are-the-features-of-educational-software) - [NA](https://www.g2.com/discussions/class-na) - 1 upvote - [View Class pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/class-technologies/reviews?page=3§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-07-13+17%3A22%3A49+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=e382c060-c3c7-4118-9249-a2618924a102&secure%5Btoken%5D=28e1d24d5e473e80973b7c5cd333d052af08e38602468511ed73f0971d658abf&format=llm_user) ## Class Integrations - [360Learning](https://www.g2.com/products/360learning/reviews) - [Blackboard](https://www.g2.com/products/blackboard/reviews) - [Canvas LMS](https://www.g2.com/products/canvas-lms/reviews) - [Cornerstone OnDemand](https://www.g2.com/products/cornerstone-ondemand-cornerstone-ondemand/reviews) - [D2L Brightspace](https://www.g2.com/products/d2l-brightspace/reviews) - [Docebo](https://www.g2.com/products/docebo/reviews) - [Moodle](https://www.g2.com/products/moodle/reviews) - [Open LMS](https://www.g2.com/products/learning-technologies-group-plc-open-lms/reviews) - [SAP SuccessFactors HCM](https://www.g2.com/products/sap-sap-successfactors-hcm/reviews) - [Totara Learn](https://www.g2.com/products/totara-lms/reviews) - [Zoom Workplace](https://www.g2.com/products/zoom-workplace/reviews) ## Class Features **Content Sharing** - Video Streaming - Session Recording - File Sharing **Collaboration** - Whiteboard - Hand Raising - Participation Controls - Survey Tools - Screen Sharing **Functionality** - Technical Support - Live Chat - Markup Tools **Agentic AI - Virtual Classroom** - Adaptive Learning ## Top Class Alternatives - [Adobe Connect](https://www.g2.com/products/adobe-connect/reviews) - 4.0/5.0 (918 reviews) - [Zoom Workplace](https://www.g2.com/products/zoom-workplace/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (53,516 reviews) - [Webex Suite](https://www.g2.com/products/cisco-webex-suite/reviews) - 4.2/5.0 (17,658 reviews)
