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.

A modern web-application interface makes MS convenient, efficient, and attractive.

Drop down menus on the questionaires are difficult to read on a cell phone, if the response options are long you can't always read the whole thing.

I like how many features it has. My company uses it for both tracking student data and attendence, as well as for contact information.

With minimal training, all stake holders are now making full use of the system making our processes more streamlined, efficient and cost effective.

Any issues or updates we have needed have been completed in a very reasonable amount of time. The staff are friendly and helpful anytime their service has been required.

My school has been an excellent program to use as a parent to keep communications and interactions with the school simple and easy to access remotely.

The development of a functional SBG gradebook has been excellent.

MySchool is a great SiS. It is a powerful data and record keeping tool.

I really like how MySchool continues to improve their software and user experience. MySchool does a good job at being the Swiss Army Knife of student information systems.

MySchool has grown substantially over the last three years and has consistently provided excellent options to provide management of all school data.

Report export takes sometime a moment (less than a minute anyway) to generate the grades but it's mostly due to a complex calculation system we are using with many exceptions (sorry for complexity).

Sometimes it can log out and be difficult to log back in through our software system. If your session times out it can erase what you input.

Excellent, prompt and extremely helpful support team. Always willing to answer questions and provide solutions to problems.

Great product that is simple  and super user friendly. Their team is phenomenal and is always willing to work on custom features and designs with you.

Very flexible, stable, (very few downtime since we use MySchool (2013)). Teachers like the Assignments module, its ease of use, and parents also.

I would strongly recomment this system to any school that is looking for a cost-effective and complete management system.

The developers are very willing to work with you to create the best possible experience for your organization. They are continually improving the product.

The very efficient customer care service. MySchool personel are always there when we need them either if we have a difficulty/problem or if we need to customise something to fit our school.

The team have tweaked certain aspects of the software to suit our specific needs. The support team is extremely responsive.

MySchool is loaded with lots of great features that bridge the gap between administrative data to teacher usable data like assignments and grade keeping.

We were impressed with the combination of functionality, value for money and particularly, the first-class customer service.

Sometimes there are weird glitches and on occasion the system goes down but that's very rare.

I have not completely use all the categories yet, so no comments.

I don't like how some schools who use MySchool have access to different modules or have had customized modules added to their accounts.

Overall it is helpful for my company but it does sometimes get glitchy.

MySchool is a great online school management system that is intuitive to use.

It doesn't work to all well or not at all with multiple tabs open , which can be annoying at time. The search function needs to be more 'flexable.
