Simple and Easy solution for Online Teaching/Learning
After the pandemic, most schools have started teaching online. As our company has some schools as clients - we have suggested Google Classroom as one part of online schooling. It's not a complete Learning Management System (LMS) but is a powerful and easy-to-use tool that makes the online teaching and learning process easier. I highly recommend Google Classroom to anyone looking for a simple application to make the online teaching-learning process easier but one shouldn't expect it to cater to all needs.
Pros
The best thing about Google Classroom is that it's free. Another great thing about Google Classroom is that it belongs and so is connected to Google Ecosystem thus making sharing documents or classroom slides easy through Google Docs and Google Slides etc. We can also import files directly from Google Drive. Another good thing about Google Classroom is that it's accessible from any device - iPhone, Android, Laptops - Anything as its website is responsive and fits easily in any display size. Also due to its simple and intuitive User Interface (UI) - it's easy to start using it even if one doesn't have a tech background. I also like that announcements, homework reminders, etc are emailed to students automatically.
Cons
The only thing I don't like much about Google Classroom is its completeness. Google has created many software which are exceptional at what they do and offers all features that one might need while using its software. But that's not the case with Google Classroom as its not a complete Learning Management System (LMS) like Blackboard. Google Classroom is usable on any kind of device however, I have found that some features aren't available in the mobile application (Android) but that's okay as its the same with almost all softwares

Microsoft TeamsReasons for Choosing Google Classroom
because moodle need alot of customization and training for teacher to use, and also the bandwidth is limit as well for hosting, but with google classroom so fast because google have alot of CDN worldwide and costless as well, affordable price.Switched From
MoodleReasons for Switching to Google Classroom
First related to the cost, and also the management interface google is more simple than other product, and fully integrated with their featues such as meeting, video, etc. Another option because google has caching server in local ISP that have enough banwidth not slow even though there have alot of student surfing the same lesson.- Industry: Education Management

Google Classroom : The Best LMS in the market
Google Classroom helped me go through every semester smoothly and cleanly; it makes accessing notes and projects in one place, and it always opens a document within a second, saving a lot of time
Pros
Google Classroom simplifies the process of creating, distributing, and grading assignments.It provides a wide variety of features related to the Learning Management System with an excellent user interface that can be understandable by every student.
Cons
One of the downsides of Google Classroom is it does not offer a video conferencing option if mentors who need to conduct study sessions have to connect students to an outside video service.

Easy to use
Google Classroom has improved my teaching and learning journey tremendously. It has streamlined the process and allowed me to easily create and manage tasks, notifications, and conversations. On top of that, it has allowed me to provide and receive feedback quickly and use Google Drive to store and share documents with my students. In addition, it gave me the ability to use Google Forms to quickly assess student understanding. It has also allowed me to communicate with my students in an orderly and secure manner.
Pros
I love how easy it is to use Google Classroom. Its simple structure makes it easy for teachers to create their virtual classroom and for students to access their assignments. Indeed, teachers can easily create their virtual classroom and students can access their tasks. In addition, I enjoy the ability to post updates, create discussion boards, and share documents with my classmates. With Google Classroom being paired with Google Drive and other Google products, it is easy to work on projects as a team and stay informed. Finally, I appreciate the ability to grade assignments quickly and easily, and the ability to give personalized feedback based on each student's specific needs.
Cons
Despite the fact that Google Classroom is a fantastic tool, I had a hard time figuring out how to add assignments, change due dates, and set grading criteria for each assignment. In addition, it was difficult to keep track of all the classes I was teaching and their respective assignments.
