Soo many issues

Robust platform, but caveat emptor
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is solid and stable, and works with a number of devices and platforms. Support is usually responsive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Obfuscated billing - the new per minute billing seems to put clients at a disadvantage. Large classes are still not easy to setup (> 500 users in a session). Would suggest having your own arrangement for storage of recordings, as the contracted amount can balloon quickly forcing you do delete / move on short notice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a scalable solution for online classes/live sessions. This solution fit that bill, bit there are some caveats that we are now learning about.
The billing is one, storage is another, and the lack of large sessions support is disappointing.

Seamless integration with Blackboard Learn LMS.

Not yet as fully featured as other collaboration products, such as Zoom.
