Alma is very user friendly, which allows our parents as well as our students, faculty and administration to access imortant information at our fingertips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/25/2023 "Clean, powerful, and affordable... good for small school systems" 4/5 What do you like best about Alma SIS? The data is there. It's web-based, and it has most features you could ask for at a lower cost. Every year it gets more and more powerful and easier to use. Customer support is quick and responsive. Integration was easy, but I would suggest running a parallel system for several months. Switching from site to site and year to year is easy, in the same tab which makes using often a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Alma SIS? There are a lot of fields that are under "reporting" tabs instead of integrated to the bio tab. Some state-specific reporting fields are duplicated (sex vs. gender, race vs. race 1, etc.). Transportation planning and meal counts are difficult to use and implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Alma SIS solving and how is that benefiting you? Access for all staff, including when off-campus. Ease of use in reporting to CALPADS.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/17/2023 "Better than the big names" 4/5 What do you like best about Alma SIS? Choosing a SIS is not an easy decision, but Alma does attendance, scheduling, reporting, and report cards better than the other big name student information systems we have done business with or tried. Migrating to Alma was certainly the best decision for the district compared to other options. The Alma team is always interested in receiving feedback to contribute towards a better overall product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Alma SIS? Integrations can be slow to roll out, but that's the cost of doing business with a smaller company where you know everyone by name. In the end, the Alma team always pulls through and works tirelessly to make the best out of any complex situation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AB Aisha B. P Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/1/2022 "Alma was a great choice for our small private school!" 5/5 What do you like best about Alma SIS? I like that Alma has so many reports that I can generate to look at different aspects of the school such as progress reports, attendance, missing assignments, and so on. I also love how easy it is to create your own report card templates and create your own grading systems and monitor everything from one platform. Parent communication is also very easy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Alma SIS? I wish it kept the history of group messages I send. Also, it would be very useful to be able to view messages that teachers send to track school-home communication. I would love to see a better lesson planning feature offered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Alma SIS solving and how is that benefiting you? Alma is super easy to use for teachers with any level of technology skills. It is intuitive so some of our teachers did not need any training and some needed a little bit of support. It has all the features we need and the best part is that they listen to feedback and make constant improvements and roll out new features all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CC Caroline C. 4th and 5th Grade ELA and Social Studies Teacher Primary/Secondary Education Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 7/28/2019 "Ease of Use" 5/5 What do you like best about Alma SIS? It is easy to find grades and class rosters. The menu is user friendly, which is especially good for teachers that struggle technologically. I like being able to find information on each student, including home phone numbers and siblings in the school. I love that everything we need for school on a day to day basis is easily accesible, including the school calendar. I love how easy it is to upload comments for report cards and progress reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Alma SIS? I don't like that I am not able to print grades for individual students. Or not being able to print out class grades per subject. Sometimes I need to print out an individual students' grades but I cannot. I feel that sometimes I want to print out an individual students' grades so that I can show them which assignments are missing, or below grade level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Alma SIS: Of all the systems I've used in schools for grading, this is one of the easiest to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Alma SIS solving and how is that benefiting you? I am able to quickly see student attendance and average grades. It is also easy to upload student behavior with the management tool.

Administrative Coordinator Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 9/18/2019 "Average at best." 2/5 What do you like best about Alma SIS? Alma is great for attendance and organizing information for each student. Their support team is also very responsive and excellent for answering questions and troubleshooting issues that arise, and I like that you don't have to call them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Alma SIS? Alma's progress report system is extremely clunky and frustrating, and there are features that could be implemented to make things easier but they aren't open to beta testing. The formatting for progress reports is a system where you enter information into a pivot table excel sheet (which is extremely time consuming), then upload, and then check it against the template once done. My biggest issue is that we have 5 different categories, and there is no easy way to create a "page break" within these, so that all the sub categories are listed on the same page (or even a way to say, "title, continued" at the top so it is less confusing). Again, this may be due to our usage as we have each class with their own template and these templates change for every progress report, but it's extremely time consuming and frustrating for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Alma SIS: Make sure it suits your needs. I think us being a small, independent private school with different style progress reports (read: not actual grades) limits the use of the features that Alma provides in regards to progress reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Alma SIS solving and how is that benefiting you? Attendance reporting is the biggest thing, but it's possible we're not using all the features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
