Limitations

• Lacks Industry Compliance: One limitation of Brainier is its lack of compliance with industry regulations. It doesn’t meet several vital standards, such as COPPA, FERPA and LTI.
• Doesn’t Support Some Key LMS Features: While Brainier offers numerous useful features, it’s missing some tools. It doesn’t provide two-factor authentication, and interactive whiteboards are only available through partner integrations.
