It is easy to message my classes. There is very little else to recommend about this product. It has been incredibly frustrating trying to implement this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Alma SIS? Many functions that I consider basic for an SIS had to be specifically requested by our corporation and developed by ALMA post implementation. When we started with the system, there was no mechanism for a final exam, I could not drill down to see my homeroom students' current academic progress in their classes, and it took over a semester to generate a transcript that the state would accept. ALMA still cannot provide class rankings. Entering grades is cumbersome. All reports are pdf with little customization possible. All teachers in a building can see and access every report that is run in the building, raising confidentiality issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Alma SIS: ALMA is not a fully developed product. They are responding to our needs, but it is a slow and reactive process, not proactive. The product was not ready to deploy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Alma SIS solving and how is that benefiting you? This system has created far more problems than it has solved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We know change can be hard, which is why we have the best customer service team in the industry. Perhaps your school could benefit from a little more training? Your account manager will reach out with more information about the solutions we offer for what you and some others at your school seem to be having issues with. Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions in the meantime! We work with every size of school and district, and with most of our employees coming to Alma directly from careers in education, we have created the industry's most intuitive, and easy-to-use system available.

Having the ability to write notes on each student. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Alma SIS? 1) You cannot print out a year long individual attendance report. 2) It is not user friendly when trying to see which absences are excused, unexcused or suspension. They need to all be color coded differently. Otherwise you have to click on each individual date to see what the attendance was marked as. Each absence should be a different color so you can easily see and count the absences efficiently just by viewing the calendar. 3) There is not tardy report that gives you the amount of time the student was tardy. Again, I have to click on each individual day to get the time they arrived. There is a report with student's name, date they were tardy and the number of tardies they have, but as I need a report with the time the came into school as well. 4) When gathering demographics, I have to flip from two pages (the bio and contact pages) instead of all of the information being on one page. Very time consuming when you are making a report. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Alma SIS: I don't have recommendations.
