I find D2L Brightspace pretty easy to use for navigating through courses and learning at my own pace. The website is easy to use and handy enough to navigate, which I really like. The community is also very nice, and I'm excited about the Fusion 2026. The initial setup was pretty easy as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SSO login can be improved. I was unable to find Coursera to login from my D2L site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Social isolation is obvious. Limited hands-on experience. You either know it or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the key strengths of D2L Brightspace is its reliability and efficiency. The platform integrates seamlessly with our digital learning ecosystem, minimizing the need for additional external tools and thereby saving both time and money. Faculty members value the platform’s clean design and intuitive navigation, while our support team benefits from its consistent and stable performance. D2L Brightspace stands out as one of the few LMS platforms that actively evolves its features in response to real educator feedback. The high degree of administrative customizability further reduces support overhead, as the ability to tailor roles, permissions, workflows, and integrations allows us to maintain a streamlined ecosystem and provide more effective support to instructors. Moreover, D2L Brightspace excels in supporting meaningful, student-centered learning. Features such as Release Conditions, Intelligent Agents, and the accessibility checker empower instructors to create personalized and inclusive learning experiences. Faculty are able to develop high-quality courses without facing technical obstacles, and students benefit from clear navigation and a consistent structure across all their classes.

Some areas of Brightspace could be more streamlined for both administrators and instructors. Certain system settings are distributed across several menus, which can increase configuration time, especially at scale. A few features also require more clicks than expected for routine support tasks, and a clearer separation between legacy and modernized workflows would help reduce confusion for both instructors and administrators. Faculty sometimes encounter interface components that still follow older design patterns. Although D2L continues to modernize the platform, the mix of older and newer experiences can create inconsistent navigation and add time to training. While the platform offers strong customizability, several advanced features still require administrator involvement rather than being self-service for instructors. Continued modernization, phasing out legacy interfaces, and expanding instructor-facing configuration options would make the platform even more efficient and intuitive for our campus community.

D2L Brightspace can feel limited in advanced customization and design flexibility.

Some tools and workflows are not very intuitive and take time to learn.

Reporting features, while useful, can sometimes be less flexible than expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s a one-stop shop for students and faculty to review course materials and communicate within their courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We don't have all of the features so we don't have some of the Creator+ items that would help produce better materials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Robust Learning platform - lots of automated features to save time and build in greater opportunities for student success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A lot of clicking - wish there was a bulk edit button when doing multiple things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love many things about D2L Brightspace, but the #1 thing would have to be their communication and support. I feel always up to date with new improvements, or if the rare outage occurs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not have much negative criticism, but if I had to pick something, it sometimes feels like some improvements are prioritized over others. For instance, great strides have been made with Lumi, while it feels like Achievement+ is getting little attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall a very stable and easy to use platform and interface, also very good support and community Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were more uptake of the recommended changes and upgrades to the platform. Some recommendations are really common sense and would genuinely improve the experience for both admins and users. I also find the page that lists all the unsolved cases a bit depressing and not very motivating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its clear and organized interface allows any user, even with little technological experience, to navigate courses, activities, and resources without difficulty.
