MR Matt R. CEO/Executive Director Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/4/2019 "Great School Software System" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Alma SIS? Alma is a very easy to use software for managing your school. It has both SIS (Student Information System) and LMS (Learning Management System) functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Alma SIS?

I simply wish they would allow a little more function and options pertaining to parent correspondence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Alma allows us to take attendance, manage classroom work and grade cards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of entering grades on this system as well as the multitude of reports you can pull. I feel that information and data should form teaching so, the reporting option came in handy throughout the year. The site is fast and logical, meaning you don't have to do a lot of searching to find the information or page that you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Alma SIS? I wish students could turn in their electronic assignments directly to ALMA and I would be able to grade it within the system. Our previous grade books (Brainhoney, Google Classroom, Buzz) have allowed this in the past which made it possible for students and parents to verify that their work was turned in or not. It would also be nice to be able to distribute assignments through ALMA that are larger than what is currently allowed. It was easier to use a different platform that allowed me to upload all of my documents rather than use ALMA for some, but not all assignments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Alma SIS: Having an electronic dropbox to submit files. Allowing more room/data space to distribute files. It would be nice if we could distribute assessments (multiple choice, matching, essay, etc) on this platform and collect data from those assignments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Alma SIS solving and how is that benefiting you? Attendance was electronically kept this year. In the past we had paper attendance and this helped parents, counselors, teachers, and students be more attentive to attendance issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Alma transformed our school from an aging SIS environment with complex UI that nobody understood - to a fresh and efficient platform that reflected our professional and progressive school. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Alma SIS? Lack.of APIs for common industry partner programs. Google classroom API is great, but it's time to also work with tools like Clever,. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/10/2018 "Easy-to-use SIS with Excellent Customer Service" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Alma SIS? Alma is an intuitive, easy-to-use platform with an attractive user interface. It's true that it requires virtually no training and can easily be used "out of the box". Report cards are beautiful and easy to customize; we have standards-based report cards with long narratives, and Alma does a wonderful job with these. The mobile site works seamlessly--I often send school-wide announcements from my phone. Customer service is outstanding. We typically get a response to our questions within minutes, and they are very friendly and responsive to our requests. Overall, a very positive experience for school administrators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Alma SIS? Alma is still adding features and does not do as much as some of the more complex platforms. LMS features are limited; we find that it really works best as an SIS in its current incarnation. That said, its simplicity works very well for us as a small school. They do what they do well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Alma SIS: It's an excellent program as long as you carefully consider what features your school needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Alma SIS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Elementary School Teacher - 5th Grade Higher Education Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/21/2018 "ALMA Review" 5/5 What do you like best about Alma SIS? I love being able to use it as a communication tool with parents. They can see specifically which categories their students are struggling with and we can address issues with certain assignments as well. It's great so that report cards at the end of the term aren't a shock. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Alma SIS? I wish the most recent assignments were closest to the student's names, instead of the oldest assignments. I find myself doing a lot of extra scrolling back and forth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Alma SIS solving and how is that benefiting you? Alma acts as our gradebook for the elementary school. With the kind of school system we use, it is so helpful for other teachers to know how students are doing in their group classes. It improves the communication between colleagues and families.
