Some features are hard to use, while some require additional software/technological tools.

I've also found that the staff are extremely helpful and patient in helping work out just about any issue I've encountered. Compared to the other options, Fusion is much greater.

I love that this software is dedicated to the success of recreation programs.

Customer service is outstanding and always very helpful to at all levels with analyzing and fixing problems.

There have also been some issues with court bookings. People not able to cancel a court (and when they do they get no confirmation that it has been cancelled).

Overall, the innosoft staff are unbelievably nice, competent, and passionate about what they do.

The platform itself has been a nightmare because of its lack of functionality for our needs as well as the link the time it takes to make any adjustments.

With their current leadership, they should stay at the top of the ladder with the best rec software and campus solutions.

I appreciate the quick customer support and friendly education specialists. It is nice that the staff comes from campus recreation.

User Friendly, easy to navigate, reports are easy to run.

The online portal is likewise very straightforward allowing a good deal of customization. They have a rapid development cycle and actively work to remedy issues.

However, still useful in its abilities and having access to older data for easy transference and reflection.

They are great at teaching the software and troubleshooting with you. Their step-by-step instructions are constantly a great tool for students and professional staff members.

Innosoft Fusion is the BEST software on the market, bar none. It's user friendly, versatile and has helped us further our mission with ease.

Software works well so long as you use a vanilla implementation and do not require any integration.

Future requests do not have timelines, unable to make small edits with current system, there are usually errors (minor) after updates.

I attended their first Fusion Summit which was a wealth of information. It has been easy to learn, easy to train others and the user manuals are easy to get to for general questions.

At our facility we do our best to utilize as much as possible. Currently we are using Access, Calendar/Reservations, Sales, and Equipment.

This makes locker clean out a breeze. But most importantly the quick response time provided by the support staff when there is an issue is fantastic.

I appreciate the ability to capture reporting information for personal training and other FitWell services, like Massage and fitness events.

FUSION is a dedicated company that continues to grow but not out price university recreation budgets.

This software is great for access management, membership and pro-shop sales, and guest/alumni card printing. It is an improvement on any of our previous systems.

Rental agreements are cumbersome and difficult to adjust.

It is user friendly, works great with our University Banner system and the support staff are excellent. Continual updates and new releases of modules are a great benefit too.

The online options allowed have been a great benefit. Their customer service has been fantastic and they follow up on issues new and old working to remedy them.

They get back to me quickly within minor or major issue which is always comforting. Fusion has made our operations so much better than they have ever have been at WashU and is worth the investment.

I love this company, I value the Innosoft team and I would recommend Innosoft Fusion to everyone (And I do!).

We have had several times where our website and client have been down for hours which has negatively affected our services and programs.

Still waiting on upgrades that we requested. Have a ticket in but no response on status.

Their staff is friendly, hard working, and always available. With that combination, I don't know what else you could need out of a long term investment.

I like the ease of finding information for the students and being able to connect with the parents this way. Easy to pull reports that I can use to help with enrollment and decisions.

This was my first year as a teacher, and I loved using ALMA because I got the chance to put all the information that I needed in that Software.

Nothing stands out as a negative. I would be searching to find something that dissatisfied us.

Good, reliable functionality and meets all our basic needs at a reasonable cost.

There are some features that are missing. We have requested GPA-based grade calculation and some additions to transcripts that have not yet been implemented.

Its ease of use is perfect, Easily adaptable to our school environment.

Alma is super easy to use. Having all the information you need in one place makes finding a student and their information quick and easy.

There are some quirks to the program that just make no sense. Little things here and there.

The screen where you choose reports is just a long confusing list. There's no preview of what the report is or looks like.

Even during the pandemic, the response time has been exceptional. The techs are supportive, humorous, collegial, yet professional.

Easy to figure out and work with. Awesome customer service and quick.

Customer support is fantastic, has some good features.

This makes me feel that they truly want to improve their product. We are very new to using ALMA, but they have proved so far that we made a good choice.

Any error individual teachers make ascribing categories to assignments can only be corrected by erasing an assignment.

The system is solid, and has essentially every feature a smaller school like ours would want (and many more that we don't need to use).

Was the integration with your existing business processes easy. Teachers found it easy to use overall.

The one part that is disappointing is the link does not work with standards based grading. This problem does not stem from Alama, but is from Google not doing standards based grades.

There are several things I dislike about the software. The first one is with curriculum.

The customer services is amazing. Any questions I have I am able to reach out and they will problem solve and help me figure it out.

If you don't have those set up properly, then you're doomed.

There is a seamless integration with Google classroom and it's very easy to communicate with a single student, their family or the whole class.

I loved that our district made a deal to get a group purchase for ALMA so it made the price just perfect for us. ALMA looks beautiful and is an excellent tool.

Pros: Easy to use, great support and a good price.

There are emails with information about new features and how to integrate them. They have been extremely responsive to educators' needs during  COVID-19 homeschooling this spring.

For a school management tool that is cloud-based, I must say the ease of use and great customer service make it an ideal option.

Great program for student records, accounts, parent information and transcripts. Alma is quickly becoming one of the best programs for schools.

Alma integrates our administrative processes into one, easy to use program that both parents and teachers love.

You do not have to be technically advanced to work this program. Love the access to students, and parents and ease of access.

The user interface is exceptional. Ease of use is exquisite when compared to alternatives which make school management complicated and clumsy.

From the administration scheduling,  it's seamless integration with Google Classroom, easy custom reports, on-line student registration  and the awesome communication link with parents and students.

I do like the attendance feature and the assignment and gradebook features. My favorite part is the message board where I can send out one email to all my students and parents at once.

Excellent communication with between admin, staff and school families. A plethora of helpful articles and a very responsive tech support make Alma very easy and satisfying to use.

Our registrar is very happy with how the class configuration, grades, report cards, etc. work in Alma. Our teachers appreciate the ease of use and the integration with Google Classroom.
