What Users Love About the App

“I use Senior Systems for grading students, and it funtions well. It’s easy to create criteria to grade students on, change grades, edit comments, create classes, and any other criteria I might consider while reviewing the product.”

“It is a good platform that is easy to use. It has seamless integration with other programs. I consider it a broad-based, unified platform that can be used in many areas across campus. It includes a robust database that is very customizable and a web-based platform that can be used on any device.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“There’s a lack of uniformity between applications: you can move an item in an AR batch but not an AP batch, voiding a check voids the invoice as well, you have to select which bank account a check will be drawn from before entering an invoice, etc.”

“The interface is a little aged in appearance; I would say that it could be made more appealing. It’s certainly not detrimental, but it is accessible by people outside of the school and should be improved for the sake of looking more polished.”

“Outdated look and feel for internal and external customers. Somewhat complicated and tough to learn; it’s not very intuitive. Customer service response times and support leave something to be desired.”

“They are always having connectivity issues! All of our employees waste a whole day of work! Then, their scheduled maintenances have caused us to be out of the software for two days at a time.”
