What Users Love About the App

“Genius makes it easy to organize information and store info about the students that we need at my company. It also uses sections well to make it easy to navigate.”

“Genius allows my team of educators to achieve what we were hoping to achieve with the software. It serves as a place were we can chart information for students, maintain/document records, and link to other important software.”

‘I most like that it is easy to navigate. Most of the areas are well labeled so you can easily find what you’re looking for.”

“Custom reports are the most helpful. Being able to pull current up-to-date data is a great tool when looking for specific criteria.”

“I did an extensive search for programs of this nature 7-8 years ago and Genius was the best I found. I have been using it for 6.5 years and really love the product. As a disclaimer, I love it so much, I became a part-time salesperson for Genius SIS.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“The software seems pretty basic (which may be a good thing) and it does not really have a great visual appeal. I think the software looks a bit out-dated and could use some modernizing.”

“To edit user information you need to navigate to different areas of the website depending on what kind of user you’re trying to edit (ex: student versus parent).”

“Genius often malfunctions since so many people at my company are using it at the same time. Unfortunately this makes it challenging for us to do our work.”

“Not sure if this is due to our particular setup, but not all information flows to Moodle accurately. Need manual adjustments for reporting.”

“Dashboards are a bit tricky to set up, some training is required.”
