For example, there is no way to record/notify parents of missing assignments when using standards based grading in FACTS.

It was easy to use, I could get information about my kids and connect with their teachers.

Some functions in program are cumbersome and frustrating.

It is just annoying that I feel like it yells at me every day when I go to that section. Small annoyance really but still annoying.

However, after just a short time attempting to use it, I can truly say that it is about the worst grading program I have ever used.

It is a full SIS with some limitations, but that is to be expected for the price. Their customer service is primarily operated through chat and they do a good job.

I enjoy using it to check on my children and communication with teachers is such an ease.

FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment is great in compiling and organizing data. Every year, we would make our financial aid application available and have families fill it out.

Families find it frustrating if they are not online a lot or don't pay bills online. Paper invoices often get lost in mail.

I like most that it's cloud based, so administration can access from anywhere on or away from campus.

RenWeb is, by far, THE BEST and most user friendly software out there for school management.

They are also backed up by the excellent customer service provided by FACTS management.

The only thing that bother me in general about FACTS or any other platform within Google is the amount of information they have about you and you’re financial and educational histories.

We at our school love the fact that Facts is now integrated with Renweb.

Also, once you get their support team they are awesome when it comes to helping you understand what you need done.

Also, I don't like that late fees are not charged when the payment is late.

We love that we do not have to review families financials, that we depend on FACTS to review and make recommendations.

We had frequent complaints about how difficult the interface was for parents and teachers. Parents didn't like that they had to pay for the app.

This may seem petty, but with no option to disable this, it becomes quite annoying.

Yes, they get high marks for customer service from many users, but that customer service is necessary to compensate for all the inherent issues. I am so sorry we invested in Renweb.

Working for a small school means trying every way to save money and we were able to do that with this software.

Renweb has been a good solution for our school.

I don't like the automatic late fees that FACTS imposes. I'd rather have a date I could add them manually.

RenWeb was a great tool for our school to share information about our students with their parents.

Love that I can set up tuition payments for when I want it taken out of my account. Love the break downs as well.

The help desk is usually pretty good at responding and getting issues resolved. The also have several options for contacting them, which is handy.

It’s very in innovative and sun synchronizes well well other programs.

The system maintains all of our records and has capability for customization within reports such as building your own report card. FACTS is always improving.

Everything is difficult to find. The mobile experience through the website is one of  the worst I have ever seen.

Extremely easy to setup, use, and navigate for the first-time end user. Customer support was very friendly and supportive.

Keeping up with all the charges and fees can be confusing for our families. We tend to get several calls weekly having to explain what the charges are for.

I like that it is user friendly, drag and drop feature makes it easy to run ad hoc reports. Love the line item detail and notes feature in the templates.

Great experience for me. We have a dedicated business systems resource on our team who helps a lot.

The ability to integrate reports directly with system data pulls is a very nice feature that can help reduce the complexity of workbooks.

I like the functionality of the program and ease of use.

It makes month end easier. Great customer service team always there when help is needed.

Collaboration can also be difficult, as the individual models are fragile and must be updated online.

It can be difficult to set up a report template. Once set it is good and there are no worries.

Upload of transactional data allows for greater degree of self-service research of budget variances on the part of budget owners.

The interface is pretty dated. I also mainly use chrome as my browser and there seems to be a lag time when scrolling in a template which is a bit of a pain.

I like being able to quickly and easily navigate to what I need. I like the user interface and options given upon login.

Host Analytics has greatly improved our team's capability to quickly consolidate & close each month.

Getting benefits in terms of financial analysis and setting up consistent reporting standards.

I dont like that to complete certificaiton, all users have to attend real life class.

I originally got into Host for budgeting and it has been great for that, but I have found it great for many other things. I also love the way it can grow with me.

It can be difficult to set up a report template. Not all the modules have the same reporting tools.

Good planning tool that integrates well with excel.

Customer service is second to none. In my 30+ years in planning and analysis, I have never found a team so dedicated to ensuring their customer's success.

I was never able to go live. Never got any value out of it and they made me pay for 2 years.

It's extremely user friendly, easy to use, and allows our team to quickly consolidate, close and provide detailed financial reports each month.

The inability to do calculations in the report without creating a new template. Also as we are on Macs the inability to use spotlight in Mac Excel.

The planning tool helped us standardize our budgeting process and we're very impressed with the workforce planning module that helped us easily managing our headcount and compensation estimate.

We love the ease and flexibility of the tool. The monthly releases mean that the product is constantly making improvements.

A data pull is not immediate and can cause some frustration if data is not pulled 100% accurately the first time.

Our planning process runs more smoothly and efficiently again with less errors. We are able to consolidate our plans quicker.

OVerall is a great tool for the ease of standardizing and managing  our reports.
