Sakai is extremely flexible and highly configurable. Collaborative features. The scalability of the system is ensured through the usage of modern Java EE technologies. > > **Cons**: The documentation of the developers is not good enough. The new Gradebook is not good for big classes. ----- ### "Good software for undergraduate and graduate students" — 4.0/5 > **Sean** | *7 February 2018* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: For the most part, it is very easy to navigate. You can add items to your favorites so that you can access content quickly. When combined with other integrations (Box, Ponopto, etc.) it becomes a powerful tool\! > > **Cons**: The UI is pretty old. It could really use a refresh as it looks like it came out of Windows 95. However, that's a pretty minor thing to complain about. ----- ### "Not my favorite LMS" — 3.0/5 > **Rae** | *21 December 2018* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Sakai interface is very a straightforward, hierarchical one. It appears clean and easy to navigate, but I would say it is not as aesthetically pleasing as other LMSs. It does have similar functionalities, such as quizzes, testing, discussion boards, and resource sharing. Many of the LMS add-ins are available for Sakai, as well. > > **Cons**: I'd say my least favorite aspect of the Sakai LMS is its bland appearance. Some of the other LMS's such as Blackboard create a much more welcoming feeling when signing in, with all of the colors and customization that is available for the administrators. ----- ### "Perfect Education Software" — 5.0/5 > **Harrison** | *27 May 2019* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Sakai is great because it is very easy to pick up and use. It does not require a huge learning curve at all. It is also very easy for instructors to post assignments and interact with students. It has many features which makes viewing grades and turning in assignments online a piece of cake. > > **Cons**: I have no complaints at all about Sakai. It is easy to use, is packed with features, and works flawlessly. ----- ### "Sakai is functional but not efficient" — 5.0/5 > **Evangelia** | *6 May 2022* | Music | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about Sakai was the that it was easily understood where to find assignments and to find our syllabus and it’s association with blackboard > > **Cons**: What I didn’t like as much was there was no place for weekly modules and submitting assignments. > > Overall, Sakai is a great system to use, for basic needs it’s very functional and it gets the job done\! I would say that it should be updated and modernized since schools especially are very much moving to use online programs a lot more. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2047199/sakai-lms?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2047199/sakai-lms) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | ----- ## Structured Data
