This study aims to analyze the use of the e-learning platform from the perspective of teachers and students in junior high school. This quantitative research design uses a descriptive method. Participants consisted of 91 teachers and 165 students in Medan City. Data were collected by questionnaire via Google Forms. Quantitative data analysis used descriptive statistics to obtain the percentages for each indicator. Then the presentation of data is done with tables and diagrams. The results showed that teachers and students have different perspectives on each e-learning platform supporting the learning process. Based on the philosophy of teachers and students, it can be stated that 1) teachers and students prefer Google Classroom to Edmodo as an LMS in Online Learning. This is because Google Classroom is easier to use, more interactive, and more efficient; 2) Google Meet is the application most often used and preferred by teachers and students in direct virtual Learning.
