Pros
The simplicity of the system is a major strength. It is easy to navigate and the user experience (UX) is well thought-out and intuitive, enabling both administrators and users to find what they are looking for quickly.
With Learnster’s AI course builder, we can encourage in-house talent and subject matter experts to share their knowledge. That knowledge is no longer locked away, but becomes a scalable asset for the whole company.
CMA has a large library of applications, so we can get up to speed. The professional service team is also super competent and offers good assistance.
Canvas is a dream come true for anyone who loves a streamlined workday! With its intuitive drag-and-drop interface and support for a multitude of data formats, it makes even complex integrations a breeze

Cons
The biggest challenge is the complexity of how programmes are structured compared to individual courses. Assignments, tagging and certain settings are managed in different places, which makes it difficult to get a clear overview. This makes administration more time-consuming and increases the risk of overlooking a setting.
I would have liked it if it were possible to have more control over the layout of the training content and to have more advanced search and filtering options when setting up automation rules.
Canvas could improve in built-in data analysis and reporting tools. More advanced data management would enrich the user experience and offer deeper insights.
No downsides so far... :)
