Highly Customizable with Stellar Support
What do you like best about the product?
I genuinely appreciate the meticulous and supportive implementation and onboarding process from D2L Brightspace, which made the transition seamless and free of difficulties. The exceptional amount of support, including open forum office hours and extra training sessions provided by their fantastic trainers as we wound down implementation, was incredibly useful. I find the breadth of design tools in D2L Brightspace to be a significant strength, especially since we required robust design tools for our specific course offerings. The inclusion of Lumi Pro, which allows the generation of content or assessments using Lumi AI, is a huge time saver and highly recommendable. I am particularly fond of the granularity of roles and permissions on the administration side, which allows for highly personalized course design, such as using replacement strings to customize text for learners and providing different user experiences for participants enrolled in different departments or courses. This includes the ability to tailor homepages, navigation bars, and HTML templates. The integration with H5P to design interactive content using AI and the seamless combination with Creator Plus are also aspects I enjoy. The strong support and customizable design tools, backed by a willingness to cater to my specific needs, make me appreciate the platform, motivating me to continue using and recommending D2L Brightspace.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the Config Variable Browser to be slightly overcomplicated when administering the platform. It could benefit from integration into a more user-friendly admin UI alongside roles and permissions. Currently, it's cumbersome having to hunt between permissions and config variables, creating confusion and inefficiency. A consolidated interface for configuring user and course permissions would greatly streamline the process and reduce the time spent enabling features.

D2L Brightspace provides robust design tools for specific course offerings and integrates AI to save time on content and assessments creation.
Smooth Transition with Stellar Support
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate D2L Brightspace's course builder, which simplifies setting up course shells. The clean interface for tracking class and student progress is highly useful. The automation capabilities through intelligent agents enhance efficiency, and the video notes are a nice touch. The supportive implementation team was invaluable during our transition, easing the complex integration of third-party content and SIS. I am also impressed by the Pulse mobile app’s reliability, which our students find beneficial. The platform's scalability and strong customer and technical support are significant reasons for my satisfaction. Furthermore, the competitive and industry-supported pricing allows us room to expand without major budget increases.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found the integration of third-party content like McGraw Hill Connect and SIMnet with D2L Brightspace to involve a bit of a learning curve. It required some effort to get them working smoothly, although creating templates helped make new term rollouts easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find D2L Brightspace increases storage for courses, supports third-party platforms, simplifies integration, and offers a consistent course navigation. It streamlines attendance, grading, and promotes an effective learning experience with intuitive tools and reliable support.

A good first impression: but maybe not ideal for public institutions in Latinamerica
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is clean, and the course selection is visually appealing. Navigating and creating content is also straightforward and enjoyable. The class progress feature stands out as an excellent tool for teachers.
What do you dislike about the product?
After my initial positive impressions with the courses and content, I found that other aspects of the platform are less refined. The forums, for example, are difficult to navigate and feel outdated compared to standard forums, making it even harder for users to participate and engage. Additionally, there are limited options for collaborative activities such as wikis, peer reviews, or projects, which are available on other platforms. As a result, learning here is mostly passive, focused on consuming content and submitting assignments. The platform also tends to be somewhat slow when creating or browsing content. Another significant issue is that pricing is set in dollars, which makes it challenging for people in Latin American economies to access the full range of services—perhaps only public institutions can afford it. Lastly, the platform is quite rigid and not easily adaptable to local needs or contexts.

A great LMS!
What do you like best about the product?
I think for me, I really enjoy the ease of use in terms of the administrator features of the LMS. I can easily configure the system, set up course templates, create organizational structures that make sense for my institution, support easy implementation of IPSIS and other systems used for enrollment and course scheduling. Plus, the accessibility of D2L is top-notch, and support a lot of third-party add-ons that benefit all students/users in terms of being accessible and universally designed.
I also feel that the UI of D2L is fantastic from a student or faculty perspective. While each tool is separate, they all link together easily and are fun to use.
D2L can easily be integrated with many SSO options, and supports OAuth 2.0 and other industry standards.
I think it is a great product, and should be considered for any institution's LMS needs.

What do you dislike about the product?
In the past D2L has not been the best at addressing some of the suggested improvements and enhancements that its users have wanted. To the extent that some users joke their Product Idea Exchange (PIE) forum, was a place where ideas went to die. Or they said, "send that idea to the PIE in the sky, where it won't fly".
Lately though, they have been making vast improvements in the LMS in ways that address several issues and suggestions that have been brought up over the years.
Such as the print quiz feature (August 2025 update), that even accounts for creating randomized question sets in the tests, and allowing you to create multiple versions. We only wanted the ability to print quiz questions, and D2L decided to give us that and some amazing features as well.
D2L does try to innovate, which is great, however sometimes their endeavors at innovation tend to be half-baked and can be underwhelming. I am mainly referring to some of their side projects or extra packages, not the base LMS itself.
But, that is something they have been working on as well.
