"Smooth Interface"
4/5
What do you like best about Alma SIS?

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.

"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.

"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.
