"Highly recommend"
What do you like best about Follett Aspen SIS?

All modules are in one place; ability to modify anything in the system to best suit the needs of the district or school; all tools; ability to get data out of the SIS for other related applications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Follett Aspen SIS?

Not a dislike, but there is a learning curve, and it can be a big adjustment. There are concepts in Aspen that are not in other SIS applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Clunky and visually confusing"
What do you like best about Follett Aspen SIS?

When entering grades, Aspen refreshes frequently (like Google Docs) so your data doesn't get lost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Follett Aspen SIS?

Aspen's visual interface is cluttered and hard to navigate. Many features are buried in menus that are hard to access and require long instruction sheets to figure out. The most frustrating part is posting grades at the end of the term -- that requires multiple steps for each class, for a process that seems like it should be able to be accomplished with one button push. Also, there's no apparent way to import grades from another source (like an Excel spreadsheet) which was a feature that was in the previous gradebook software that my organization "upgraded" from and was a huge time-saver.

"Easy to track student information amongst a large school."
What do you like best about Follett Aspen SIS?

The live student and parent viewing portal so that everyone is up to speed on student performance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Follett Aspen SIS?

Inputing data on a smaller device like a tablet or a chromebook is challenging since little of the screen is viewable; the slider bars don’t always show. Also, the program does not interact with our other major student management program: Schoology. If the gradebooks between the two were linked,

I’d be much more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's all there, but it's difficult to find"

It's easy to see this history of documents attached to each client. The tabs allow for easy navigation of this history, but looking up each client requires many, many steps to get there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Follett Aspen SIS?

The system is maze-like and requires far too many clicks to reach a destination. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Aspen in Schools"
What do you like best about Follett Aspen SIS?

Aspen is a powerful too that can manage many aspects of a school environment.

I like the fact that it can manage teacher personal information in addition to grades, my school doesn't utilize this aspect of the program but it would help the school on a whole if we did. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Follett Aspen SIS?

There are some flukes with the software. It also doesn't work well with many student learning platforms that are available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
