What do you like best about Doctopus for G Suite?

There's a lot to love about Doctopus:

- It's simple to obtain, launch, and learn to use. Set up time is minimal.

- With just a few simple clicks, Doctopus passes out copies of assignments to students.

- It's excellent for keeping the "digital stack of papers" organized.

- It integrates well with Google Sheets/Docs/Drive - which is very important in the modern classroom.

- It arguably gives more control than Google Classroom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Doctopus for G Suite?

Some teachers who are already accustomed to using Google Classroom will find this redundant (I think), and will not be interested in adding this add-on. Given that it's an add-on, there's always can be security questions regarding students (and data), as well as unexpected errors down the road as Google continues to make updates.
