“Advantages in function integration but challenges when loading rubrics and configurations”
Overall, the experience has been good. I used it as a student and now as a teacher to post announcements, assignments, and files. I like that it allows me to organize class content, set deadlines, and grade assignments all on the same platform. However, my experience uploading rubrics to the platform hasn't been very good. It's a bit confusing, not very intuitive, and takes a long time to enter all the criteria, especially when grading performance levels.

“Course content management is efficient, but quiz transfer remains frustrating”
I have had a generally positive experience with Canvas, although some support issues tend to take way too long to address. Canvas is great for course content management. It is easy to set up as a teacher and most content transfers from year to year. The discussion feature is also great for student collaboration.

Canvas LMS Streamlines Course Organization But Customization Remains Limited
My overall experience with Canvas LMS has been good. It provides a strong platform for organizing courses, sharing materials and keeping students on track. Most users find it easy to learn and use, which helps reduce support issues but there are a few areas that could be improved like more flexibility in certain features. It still does a great job supporting teaching and learning and it also helps us create a smoother more connected learning experience for everyone. - Associate Director of Special ProjectsGov't/PS/EdEducationReview Source
