Google Classroom has the same objective, and that is to connect students to their teachers along with the organization. Google Classroom is organized easy to read and customizable by the teacher. Very user friendly. I can say that Blackboard is a much better platform to take tests but that's all that I have.

Zoom is better equipped for live streaming and recording lectures and tutoring sessions, research interviews, etc. and does allow content files to be attached through live chat function but does NOT have a student management component for grading and instructions or a repository for files.
Moodle is more user friendly in terms of layout and navigability, but Blackboard is considered better at syncing info from enrollment management systems like Oracle PeopleSoft for campuses.
