- Total reviews: 455

### Secondary ratings

- Ease of use: 4.5/5
- Customer support: 4.7/5
- Value for money: 4.5/5

- 4 stars: 109 reviews (24%)
- 3 stars: 8 reviews (2%)
- 2 stars: 7 reviews (2%)
- 1 star: 14 reviews (3%)

### Most mentioned pros

- We’ve especially appreciated features like customizable progress reports, attendance tracking, and the seamless communication tools between teachers and families.
- Those of us in the office love the ability to securely manage the kids information easily in the system and navigate details we have not had the ability to in previous SIS program.
- As a small, innovative school, we have been able to customize the platform to fit our needs–from proficiency grading and report cards to internal reports and external messaging.

### Most mentioned cons

- Having to read each individual profile is quite time consuming and makes the process of asking pointless ifwe have to follow up and reinput the data on the profile anyway.
- When writing report cards, you can not freeze the top bar. When marking a student late the time is usually not correct.
- Again, when all else fails, there's a 'Search' feature".

Due to the positive culture at Alma and their mindset of hiring educators to work for them, they provide an excellent SIS and a top-notch customer experience. Working with them has been great! I hope I never have to use another SIS for the rest of my career.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I have used Alma SIS for years, in two different school districts. One of the best qualities of Alma SIS is its ease of use. My teachers love how easy it is to navigate for attendance, grades, etc. Since Alma is so easy to use, just a few clicks, and attendance is done. Also, especially with the integration and sync with Google Classroom, teachers spend little time entering grades. This provides more time to attend to all the other tasks that teachers have on their plates every day. Students and parents also love Alma because of how easy it is to navigate.

#### Cons

Honestly, nothing. Out of all of the student information systems I have used, both as a parent and an educator, none have come close to the experience I have had with Alma.

#### Reasons for choosing Alma SIS

Alma beat the competition in every way. One of the board members who was on the selection panel and is also a retired teacher stated that you can really tell that they made this SIS to work for educators, students, and parents.

#### Reasons for switching to Alma SIS

Tyler was awful in every way. We did extensive research on multiple student information systems, and determined Alma to the best one!

User-friendly. Visually appealing to all evaluators.

We were a test district for the recent iNHDEX merge, and it was a big undertaking for state and federal reporting. ALMA support is always ready to help resolve issues quickly and provide an explanation so you understand how it happened and how to correct it. :-) The ALMA support team is top-notch and far superior to the former SIS we had for years.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

ALMA SIS is a great end-user system. It's easy to navigate and get the information you need with a few clicks. The Spreadsheet data editor is probably the most used part of ALMA for me, as a quick way to get data and pull what you need by fields and groups without a degree in programming. :-) Having the ALMA alert system built into the program is great for sending out urgent messages quickly.

#### Cons

Honestly, there isn't anything that I like least about ALMA. It takes time to train on a new SIS, and I feel folks may confuse a lack of knowledge with a lack of system performance. The training videos are very helpful, as are the weekly Zoom Q & A's.

#### Reasons for switching to Alma SIS

Powerschool support could take up to 5 days to respond to a ticket and there was no chat feature. The system changed, and accessing basic reports became complicated (programming degree!) and cumbersome, which slowed down the reporting process.

Being an early adopter of a product is sometimes a headache. However, Alma support was with us from day one and has been with us each step of the way for several years. Coupled with the stability and up-time, it's been a fantastic experience since 2019.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

As far as the platform goes, the communication components and reporting customization are wonderful. The intuitiveness for a bulk of our users has been quite a time saver over the years. Lastly, the clean aesthetics give Alma the feel of a modern system.

#### Cons

There isn't much to say about what I least like. Every once in a while there is a glitch with a needed report or function, but Alma Support has come through efficiently with these issues.

#### Reasons for choosing Alma SIS

Alma just met what we were looking for. Plus, we were looking for a fresh approach to a student information system.

#### Reasons for switching to Alma SIS

PowerSchool's Chalkable/InformationNOW was getting close to being sunset. We needed to make a change and Alma fit our needs/wants as a school district.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

I like Alma because it makes tracking attendance and grades really simple. It’s easy to use, and I can see everything I need in one place. I get real-time updates, so I always know where things stand without having to wait. It just makes everything feel way more organized and less stressful. Plus, having access to everything whenever I need it is a big plus!

#### Cons

One con about Alma is that when I’m working on report cards, I can’t freeze a cell. It makes it super annoying because I have to keep scrolling up and down to check the headers and make sure I’m putting the right information in the right spot. It would be way easier if I could just keep the top row in place while I work.

#### Reasons for switching to Alma SIS

School change so that is why teachers were introduced to this platform.

#### Vendor response

Thank you for your feedback! We understand how important it is to keep student names visible while navigating the gradebook. To help with this, there is a four-arrow icon located at the top left of the gradebook page. Clicking this icon will enable full-screen mode, which locks the left column (student names) and top row (assignment titles). This ensures that you can scroll both left to right and top to bottom without losing track of student names. Please feel free to contact support if you have any questions!

Alma is such a simple SIS to learn to use and is very intuitive. I love the customizability of many of the features. It seems like they also know what schools need. I discover a new feature each day. I especially like the attendance reports, report card maker, and the incident tracker.

Overall, as a nurse, I have had a very good experience using Alma. It is very user friendly and easy to navigate. I like that you can hover over a student's picture to enlarge it. This is helpful when I am learning the names of new student to the school that i work at.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

The feature that I like most about Alma is the ability to flag students with medical issues. By creating a critical health alert, teachers and other school staff are easily made aware of certain high risk students. Also, I like that the school nurse is able to upload individualized health care plans to Alma, making it simple to pass along pertinent health information for those who need to know this.

#### Cons

One thing that could be considered a con is the speed of program. Sometimes, it takes longer than others (when trying to access student health information).

I love using Alma for our school! The best part about the program is the customer service- ANY issue I have I can find help and answers in the study guide, and if I get stuck the team on chat is so responsive and helpful. They always help me get to the bottom of my issues within a day or so. A few features that are my favorites are the reports cards and transcripts. We often have transfer credits from other schools or online programs and it is super easy to add grades and credits to older students who need them. Alma helps us to stay organized and on top of our enrollment as well. We are happy customers over here!

Alma is a first-class learning management and student information platform for small-to-medium sized schools and/or learning communities. The user interface provides a user friendly and intuitive experience for teaching faculty and staff personnel. The facilitation of basic record-keeping and stream-lined communication features help contribute to constituent cohesion and work flow synergy.

#### Cons

Alma served our school community's needs in all areas that our administrative team needed support in. From demographic profiles to academics to basic management of student life protocols (i.e. student and parent communication, tracking of behavioral reports, etc.), Alma was the right platform for us at the right time in the life of our small school community in a state of transition.

Our experience with Alma SIS has been very positive. The platform delivers strong value for money, offering comprehensive features that meet the needs of our school community.

I have a very positive overall experience with Alma. I find myself often telling others. You can find that in Alma. I feel that it’s much more user-friendly than the last program that we used for student information. I access Alma several times a day.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

I like the way that I have easy access to students, attendance, current grades, staff notes, contact information, etc. As a support teacher I work with several students over several grade levels and Alma is a convenient way for me to access information in one central location.

#### Cons

I do wish there was a way to move from one student name to another within the directory without exiting a student’s page then going back to the directory and re-entering a new student name. It’s really just a small inconvenience, but that’s the only negative thing that I can think of to report

#### Vendor response

Thanks for your feedback! There’s a magnifying glass icon at the top of the page that allows you to quickly search for and switch to another student without exiting the current student’s profile. This should make navigation a bit smoother!
