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.

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.

Having the ability to write notes on each student. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

I am pleased with every aspect of Alma 😀 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Alma is intuitive and easy to use. It has all the features I look for without over complicating the format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally Alma crashes and is down for a few hours. This is an inconvenience at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It keeps track of things better than if I were to compile things by hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a bit obnoxious to navigate. Features, like the ability to email all students, disappear. Constant pop-up messages from the tech crew. Y'all - make an app for the phone that just lets me do attendance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is super user friendly. Easy to maneuver while using which create a high efficiency while dealing with many issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When dealing with entering all my information manually which is time consuming only at the beginning of using the program. It would’ve been easier to downlaod everything automatically all at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use is nice and the ability to customize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost is not that great and the amount of people that know about this to be able to reach them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have a feature I like best. It's fine for writing report cards and narratives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that Alma accepts tardies and absences but can not keep track of the tardies entered for the report card makes no sense to me. It seems that this would be an easy fix to an annoying problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
