The support staff are incredibly supportive, responding to requests in a timely and helpful manner. Their commitment to customer support is one of the best I have ever encountered.

Having said that we knew this would be an ongoing problem on both vendors sides and were prepared for the delays that are occurring.

Schoolbox is a great company to deal with. They are responsive and timely in attending to issues, and I really appreciate their focus on improving their product.

I think Schoolbox is a very good product and we are doing our best to achieve an excellent implementation - it is not a small undertaking.

Love that it is mobile responsive, clear communications to parents, students and staff. Powerful grader, markbook and reporting platform.

They have built solid partnerships with other service providers and are always looking for additional partners.

The system integration with 3rd party platforms, continuous reporting opportunities and ease of content creation.

Back end can be difficult and integration is not as it was explained.

Great Parent Portal, it's Easy to use and they are always developing new and relevant features.

It's hard to identify any cons, but for us here in Queensland, I felt that Schoolbox was a bit slow to provide software changes to facilitate changes to the senior schooling system.

There is also much greater oversight on an individuals total workload and the ability to more effectively manage this.

The ease of use for storing information that is shared with multiple students across multiple platforms.

Communication & access to information are the two major problems we are solving.

It is an off the shelf prodcut purchased that was able to replace a number of bespoke, complicated solutions previously used. We had rapid on-boarding of staff due to it's ease of use.

Their communication regarding changes is excellent and their annual user groups meetups both nationally and state ones are brilliant.

Once teachers have a grasp of this aspect of Schoolbox, there is no stopping them.

The benefits have been that its been a simple system for staff to use and learn and its had great impact on keeping staff accountable and providing parents with better visibility on learning.

This is the feature staff find most frustrating. Technically, it has taken some time to smooth out the link between our SIS (PCSchool) and Schoolbox.

We like the ease of use for students, staff and parents.

We're very excited about the future developments, including the new ePortfolio coming in 2020 that will be fantastic for our Junior School.

The company supported the school through the implementation process and their ongoing product support is very good.

The design reflects a deep understanding of how schools operate and it functions very reliably. Schoolbox is a sophisticated yet relatively simple tool to mange complexity in schools.

A useful integrated virtual learning environment.

The only pain point is our specific customisations that often break with updates, so avoid customisation when you can.

A very intuitive LMS that requires minimal training at all levels of ability. To me it is a one stop shop for all teaching and learning matters and eliminates the use of other software's.

Information available about releases and changes and training material is fantastic. Easy to use - most features are intuitive.

Customer service is outstanding and this is so important.

The SmarterU team are a pleasure to work with. They provided us with an amazing tool to automate our training processes.

The speed and ease of assigning classes, and the grading capability, makes me a happy camper. SmarterU is the best system I have used.

Overall good LMS and easy to use now that I have been using awhile.

At the time their  course builder design was not responsive which was the biggest frustration. Also it did not allow just cutting and pasting...  so it was time consuming to retype everything.

They always get back to us. One thing that they refuse to change, that drives me crazy, is how limited Admin rights are.

Able to get any report you need. Tech support is very helpful.

Great user-friendly program, and the support staff are friendly and helpful.

Solid platform, good customer service, strong relationship and constant improvement philosophy. We love SmarterU, and we are now also BinaryCanary clients as well.

I would recommend this medium to employers looking to move new recruits through training.

Any time I talk to anyone with SmarterU, I'm truly blown away by the positive attitude and willingness to help. I love working with you all.

Removing a course from someone's profile can be a little difficult.

Heather and Chris on SmarterU's Client Success Team are FABULOUS at customer service, getting back to clients quickly and efficiently, and helping out whenever needed.

I was immediately impressed with their knowledge, their ability to understand my client's unique challenges and provide solutions.

With a full list of great features and their commitment to excellence in everything they do SmarterU is a SMART choice.

Also, the team at SmarterU is terrific at translating your knowledge base into training modules that deliver the content in an easy to use format that really enhances both comprehension and retention.
