Google Classroom is ok for basic learning tasks but I stopped using it over time

What do you like best? At first it was pretty convenient. Creating classes, sharing files and giving simple tasks worked fine. Students had no problems joining and everything was connected with Google Drive, which was helpful. For basic school use it does the job
What do you dislike? Over time it started to feel limited. Not many customization options and very basic analytics. I needed more control and flexibility, so I moved to other tools. It’s not bad, just too simple for my current needs
