What Users Love About the App

“We vetted this product for almost two years and found that the districts were happiest with SchoolBrains. Their support is the best in the business. We had surveyed for admin staff, teachers, parents, and administrators and all believe support and ease of use have been great.”

“Implementation was a lot smoother than previous. Very communicative and helpful during the transition process. The total cost of ownership is much lower when you figure how much our other service was charging us for support and reports.”

“A system as presented. Fast access to the data we need. Easy report creation. Meets state reporting requisites that other systems have a hard time providing.”

“Teachers and administrators said it was intuitive. Implementation was easier than previous. Critical support was responsive. Access to vice president with one call.”

“Schoolbrains works well for the daily SIS functions performed by schools. Navigation is easy. Accessibility is very good. Personnel security roles can be both globally and micro-managed depending on the need.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“My business manager wishes they would offer a financial/ budget/ payroll module. Although it has a bus route piece, our transportation head hoped for a geo-mapping module, too.”

“Support was decent but not great. Noncritical support by way of general questions or functionality was not good and at times we needed to follow up more than twice to receive answers.”

“They manage full control of their data. It would be easier for districts, certainly ours, if we were able to create or modify certain Nontraditional or customized reports instead of calling support. Needs better integration options to third party systems.”

“Customization is required far too often, even for what might be considered routine data management. Although we were told it can: Customization cannot be done by school personnel. Importing data to update student or staff information cannot be done by school personnel.”

“Even though there’s nothing bad about this software but the pricing was too high for me and I think that aspect should be considered for even small schools to purchase.”
