Advantages - ease of use, compatibility with PowerPoint, a large number of (14) interactivity, an extensive content library, aesthetic design of templates, the ability to use courses on mobile devices. Russian observers also note the adaptability of the content library to Russian realities and the reduced price for the Russian-language version of the product (compared to other language versions). ^[6]

Disadvantages - the product does not work in the Mac OS operating system, owners of devices made by Apple have to install the Windows operating system. There is also a lack of opportunities for creating technically complex effects (programming scripts , layout using the Pixel Perfect principle).
