This software was easily integrated into our program and my parents like it. Billing helped reclaim employee time and help parents pay faster.

It is convenient and the cost is affordable. The parents and staff love it.

The daily reports and the photos are great too. Great way to keep in contact with the people who are taking care of your children.

Overall, I think the software is great. It's easy to use and making owning a business great.

It's very affordable for the feature-set it provides. Great documentation and helpdesk.

The customer service agents are always helpful and responsive. It is very easy  to use;  especially for our staff that is not good with technology.

I dislike that you are unable to see your punch in and punch out time. You should be able to see your location at all time.

Positive, I really like this system application. Easy to use, parent friendly and kept communication by parent and teachers easy.

This software was easy to integrate into our program & the parents love it. The billing feature has helped releave staff time & parents are paying faster.

I work for a company that uses Brightwheel and I firmly believe that this app and others like it are awful. They enable helicopter parenting, distract teachers, and set a bad example for children.

I was very pleased when the school rolled out this tool. I love feeling more informed about his day.

I am solving the issue ue of monitoring my baby while working which is not an easy task. It is very impactful to have a chance to integrate both ends of my life on this app.

Brightwheel is an amazing tool that every school - not just daycare, should use. It also helps document kids' progress and learning development.

My overall experience experience with brightwheel has been great. It’s a wonderful way to check in on a students progress & communicate with teachers.

I like the ease of communication with my child's teacher and school manager. Also, love how she can share pictures and videos with me while he is in daycare.

I love the fact that the one program takes care of communications with faculty and parents, billing and payments, and student information. All of it quickly accessible by computer or cell phone.

I love the ability to keep tabs on the progress of my son's learning. It holds the school accountable and I can see his day to day smiles.

The colorful logoSoftware to use it was easy and intuitive and fun to use for a free trial it was good.

I tried this app out and it seems brilliant, its really easy to use and I love the look of it.

We only wish it worked offline in the times when our internet is down. We manage to get around it but it can be frustrating.

The ability to communicate with ease through Brightwheel empowers families and they have more confidence that their child is in good hands.

It is attractive and easy to use. It has great features like picture sharing and it keeps parents updated with very little effort for teachers.

It makes tracking money and hours worked for taxes easy. I think when I show potential clients it helps sell my service.

The support is terrible. I am not sure how they got to be this big with such terrible support.

Overall it's a great experience and a great app to have on my phone when we would like to get updates on how my daughter is doing.

I am excited for the day when I can plug in my state and the rules and guidelines would be integrated into the services that brightwheel offers.

It is the best software our company has. From day one, we have seen so much progress for our staff and the parents absolutely love it.

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.
