With the time I have used ALEKS, I can say that, in general, it is a very comprehensive tool. If implemented correctly with the course, it can reduce the burden and complexity that, on some occasions, arise when studying mathematics.
ALEKS is so frustrating math program. They don't give you enough practice on anything, and when the knowledge check comes, it is easy to forget how to do things.
Love that Alta is mastery based. When a student needs extra help in an area, Alta backs up and explains concepts that a student may have missed.
It is limited on your control of types of questions within learning objectives. Some of the rigor of the questions are low.
