## Reviews

### "Product is good when searching" — 5.0/5

> **Arram** | *21 August 2018* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: If you need to search something, this product is great. Has everything laid out
> 
> **Cons**: It’s pretty hard to navigate through so u will need to have some training before diving in.

### "Sakai Makes College Easy\!" — 4.0/5

> **Val** | *24 May 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It was so easy to keep track of all my classes. I can always see what courses I’m in, and how far I am in the class work in those courses. Taking quizzes and tests is also super easy with Sakai which is necessary when in college.
> 
> **Cons**: The discussion boards can be a little confusing at times, it is difficult to tell which ones you have already posted on.
> 
> I have had a great experience with Sakai. It has been an easy tool to use while I’m in college\!

### "I wish it was a bit more user friendly" — 3.0/5

> **Abritty** | *18 September 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: After using online web modules in Sakai for a while, it grows on you. If you know where the options are for the things you are looking for, you will be fine. But like I said, it takes time to grow on you.
> 
> **Cons**: The options are not clear at all. Nothing is self explanatory, I have had senior learners struggling with it the most as the courses do not show up automatically in the home page after signing up. Every aspect of Sakai seems not so unified, it requires different set of skills to do different things.

### "A truly "Open" Source LMS" — 5.0/5

> **Rebekah** | *16 September 2016* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the Sakai community. They are a dynamic, talented, committed community, who strive and succeed in making the LMS easier to use and accessible, and constantly improve tools so they  best meet the needs of faculty and students.  The community has developed a responsive user interface, and is working towards meeting all of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level A and AA Success Criteria.
> 
> **Cons**: Like a true community, sometimes you have to wait until the money and resources are available to work on the project you think is important.  In the four years I've been involved, the community has  always found a way to find the resources needed to make important updates and improvements.
> 
> Our community college previously used Blackboard, but needed to upgrade. We looked at various LMS's available in 2012, and our faculty liked Sakai the best. Why? It was easy to use,  accessible,  reliable, and contains excellent tools we need to provide quality online, hybrid and face-to-face courses.

-----

### "Solid LMS platform" — 4.0/5

> **Adam** | *22 December 2021* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Good amount of different tools available like grade entry, storing files, assigning homework and exams, etc&#10;Can set due dates, exam length, overall good level of control
> 
> **Cons**: UI feels outdated, especially when compared to current industry competitors &#10;Feels slow at times&#10;Difficult to use on phone
