The only downside that we have found is that we are not able to have the system email the parents of students to notify them of their child's schedule.

The customer service is phenomenal, the price is right, and while there are a few minor issues in software design, we have been very satisfied.

Great Scheduling Software, Great Customer Support.

We use Edficiency for our Layer 2 intervention Flex period. I love the ease of setting up sessions, and having a program that does the scheduling gives me time to focus on other things.

Yes, there is a learning curve, but once teachers and students figure out the system it is a great way to manage and structure an intervention time while also allowing flexibility.

Some of the reports are hard to find at first.

Luckily for us, this software was recommended from another school in our state. We instantly called Edficiency and began the process of purchasing their software.

It is easy for everyone to use. The teachers and students like how user friendly it is.

They are, by far, the best educational support company I have ever worked with. Not only do they understand the software, but they immediately understood our own vision for its implementation.

The students enjoy using it. The support staff is also very friendly and efficient, making problem-solving quick issues or questions a breeze.

Overall, Edficiency has been a cost-effective and effective tool.

It has been great, our teachers have loved it and it has made our intervention time a lot more streamlined.

It is a constant work in progress and Edficiency is always there to listen to our desires and concerns and work with us on the most effective solutions to keep this system effective for us.

Students were able to navigate the program independently before we even did the training with them. The priority levels for tagging students are brilliant.

The customer service given by Edficiency is excellent.

Right now I have to upload the spreadsheet each time (unless I’m missing something).

Not only is the software great, but the support team is really outstanding as well.

We are able to daily create opportunities for students to work with teachers when they are absent, when they need extra help, or give the students an opportunity to meet with clubs and activities.

The thing you will notice instantly is how user friendly it is.

The teacher/student user interface is straightforward and easy to learn. At the admin level, we are able to easily see where students are placed each day and make any necessary adjustments.

SENSITIVE CONTENT] and the rest of the people at EdFiciency are great to work with. This product is everything I could have wanted in order to make our WIN Time successful.

Students and Teachers were able to figure out the majority of the system with little to know training, and the admin side of the program is amazing.

User manual is missing several features however the staff quickly responded to emails.

In this event, teachers need to make a request each day for the next day. The administrative side of the program is very easy  to use and navigate.

I'm also confused by how our Aeries system doesn't automatically connect and update with Edficiency at the start of each school year - but I do not think that is an issue on Edficiency's end.

The only criticism of Edficiency would be its ranking system for how the software decides where students attend for their intervention period.

In high usage times, there have been severe performance issues. Additionally, there are some quirks such as changes not being reflected until users log out and log back in.

It does a lot of the heavy lifting in the background and it's helping us get kids who want to see specific teachers and teachers who want to see specific kids.

Additionally, there is currently no easy tool that allows admin to exclude individual students from select sessions.

If a situation cannot be remedied via email, they will do a Zoom Meeting with me to help figure everything out. The personalities are so excited about the produce and willing to help however they can.

The staff at Edficiency has been very responsive during our set up and implementation. They are quick to offer support and answer questions.

I like how easy it is to set up profiles. It is also very easy to use VPP with Apple School Manager to push out apps to our devices.

Disowning iPads and removing Jamf is a pain. Multiple steps involved and we were having to do extra steps as well.

Jamf School (formerly ZuluDesk) has been a great MDM solution for our school district's needs.

Very easy to deploy to managed devices, very easy to manage/troubleshoot devices.

I love love the inventory and being able to lock down a stolen device.

The biggest part of Jamf School that I like is the ease of use.

All of my interactions with Jamf school have been extremely positive. Always very helpful with minimal wait time for support.

Its very difficult to learn, not much contact from anyone from Jamf unfortunately.

Creating the scope to issue apps to groups was more difficult than expected.

Jamf School MDM is a great tool for the price.

I love that we can package our apps and push them out. I also love the one time fee for the lifetime of the device instead of paying a per year fee.

I like everything about the Jamf suite of products.

I really enjoy the using Jamf School to manage our school devices. It cost for perpetual licensing makes it a very affordable option for schools.

The UI is very easy on the eyes, and the options available for device management make the day-to-day task of solving issues with devices much easier.

Overall, it has streamlined our iPad management, enough to where I have confidence our technicians can put their hands on the platform and solve issues without needing much further escalation.
