There is one thing I don't like. I don't like how sometimes when blackboard crashes, I can't use collaborate to record my events. Other than that, it's a really good software.

An effective add on to Blackboard Learn

Blackboard Collaborate allows learners to do exactly that - colloborate.

They can also share files as well!

What do you dislike about the product?
It is still lacking in that it needs to support digital backgrounds, including blurring out the backgrounds for privacy. Also, it takes up alot of bandwidth and sound quality can be poor on Chromebooks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blackboard Collaborate allows users to not have to use Zoom or Google Meets - students can be monitored using Collaborate
Great app for professional collaboration

Group conference is not very interactive like teams and other chat applications

Virtual classroom is a great feature for Educational organizations
Blackboard Collaborate Review
What do you like best about the product?
I like how it is very user-friendly. I find it a lot easier to use than other video conferencing sites, which is why I always prefer to meet on collaborate rather than its competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Something I dislike about Blackboard Collaborate is how to share my screen. I think they could have made that option a lot easier to do. It can be tedious and tricky for the presenter or any collaborator to share their screen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blackboard Collaborate has been a life-saver for my online courses. It is a simple way to attend class from the comfort of wherever you are. I have also found it extremely easy to collaborate with partners and group assignments using Blackboard Collaborate.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for collaborating on group projects.
Simple for Trainings
What do you like best about the product?
Blackboard Collaborate is simple to use and works effectively with the rest of the Blackboard software. It has proven to be beneficial in training sessions. Video calling is, in my opinion, its best feature. It's a pure one-click video call, with none of the other video conferencing apps' complications. I particularly enjoy that Blackboard Collaborate allows me to create breakout rooms, which makes brainstorming and reflecting on knowledge even smoother.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Blackboard Collaborate is a very simple software, its simplicity has the potential to be its undoing. Blackboard lacks some of the more advanced capabilities that its competitors provide. When I use Blackboard Collaborate for video conferencing, I also have a lot more connectivity difficulties. The video call will frequently drop or the audio will cut out. When I use other video conferencing software, I don't seem to have this problem as regularly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Overall, Blackboard Collaborate has met my expectations. I've used previous Blackboard products and can attest to the fact that they create software with the user in mind. I like the ease of use that Blackboard Collaborate provides and would recommend it to others for training and brainstorming.
Powerful Virtual Classroom Tool
What do you like best about the product?
During the COVID-19 pandemic, it was imperative to find a good virtual classroom that was effective in engaging our students. Blackboard Collaborate was our saving tool that allowed our professors to connect with their students, either one-on-one or an entire class. Collaborate has a ton of features that really made it possible to have connections while being apart. Some of the tools that we used the most were the whiteboard, application sharing, and adding powerpoints to the virtual meeting. Using Collaborate created great engagement and interactions for everyone in the meeting.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the Blackboard Collaborate interfaces could use updating. Since Blackboard has upgraded to Ultra I think it could look a little more similar to that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the issue of having to hold classes virtual instead of in person. It allows students the freedom to learn wherever they are instead of coming to campus. It has been really beneficial for students to learn through using a different type of technology.
Blackboard Collaborate is nice but I prefer Zoom.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Blackboard Collaborate allows me to hold virtual class with my students with a familiar name due to their LMS.
What do you dislike about the product?
Blackboard Collaborate does much of what an instructor could do on Zoom but at an added expense to the institution. Students are mostly familiar with Zoom from other classes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blackboard Collaborate allows me to connect with students beyond normal class times.
Works Better than Alternatives, Comes with Inherent Video Support
What do you like best about the product?
Surprisingly easy to use and easy to combine with other elements of Blackboard, including the ability to use documents and files for students and professors. Also has intrinsic video support capabilities, including the means to broadcast video, audio, and screen-sharing for students.
What do you dislike about the product?
Doesn't allow for the use of every type of document (although screen sharing can sometimes make up for this)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Teaching classes-- both in classroom and solely online. Been very useful since the start of the pandemic
