Highly customizable; vibrant open-source community

What differentiates Sakai from other similar products?
Sakai is customizable to exactly your institution's needs. It is feature-rich and robust due to over a decade's worth of a highly interactive community's contributions to this open-source platform. It meets all the highest accessibility standards.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I like that we've been able to integrate other open-source tools into Sakai so we can push educational innovation even further. You can build a truly meaningful learning experience within Sakai that I have not seen on other LMS platforms.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Because of Sakai's open source nature, there are inconsistencies among the functionality and design of some of the tools. I know the community is actively trying to track down and remedy these inconsistencies so there is a consistent user experience across the entire platform.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I recommend involving yourself in the Sakai community. They are a highly responsive and caring group of people who truly care about Sakai's educational value. They communicate DAILY about all features that are in development, and you can be sure that any existing bugs are quickly addressed, tested, fixed, and released. Beyond the discussions about features, though, you will also see people who consider the pedagogy, the accessibility, and even the morality of designing the system. It's a fascinating group with whom you can establish meaningful connections.
