Clever was born of co-founder Dan Carroll’s frustration as a school tech director in Denver. His plans to use technology to save teachers time and personalize learning were stymied by countless CSV files and forgotten passwords. Dan recalls, “I wanted to be an innovator, but I got stuck being a human API.” Software has the potential to empower teachers and create new ways to learn. But one thing must happen first. Everyone must be able to log in—quickly and securely. To solve Dan’s problem, we built a single sign-on portal that now helps 95,000 of U.S. K–12 schools spend more time learning and less time logging in. Dan and all of us at Clever believe that technology is a powerful lever that can make education more equitable and engaging. Since the beginning, we’ve seen that when great teachers are supported by great technology, it leads to incredible learning outcomes. More than 95,000 of U.S. K–12 schools use Clever, including 97 of the largest 100 districts. That’s 60% of US students logging in with Clever monthly! We are proud to work with the education community to bring a lifetime of opportunity within reach of every student. * * * Seller [Clever Portal](https://www.g2.com/sellers/clever-portal) Discussions [Clever Community](https://www.g2.com/products/clever-portal-clever/discuss) Solution Type Best-of-Breed Overview by Dan Carroll Show More ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![ClassLink](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "ClassLink") ClassLink 4.7/5(61) ](https://www.g2.com/products/classlink/reviews) [ ![Canvas LMS](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Canvas LMS") Canvas LMS 4.5/5(1,838) ](https://www.g2.com/products/canvas-lms/reviews) [ ![SchoolStatus](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "SchoolStatus") SchoolStatus 4.8/5(842) ](https://www.g2.com/products/schoolstatus/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/clever-portal-clever/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 51 real user reviews.

Clever makes it so much easier to use technology with students, particularly young ones! They don't have to remember separate usernames and passwords for the multiple websites I like to use with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Clever? At this time, I don't have any negatives to report about using Clever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Postmaster Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 12/10/2020 "Easy for online learning software" 4/5 What do you like best about Clever? We use this clever portal for my kids' online learning courses. It's a portal with multiple apps together, just feel it's easy to manage all of the apps that my kids online learning. Our current school zone is using the app, which has the most important app called "Schoology", it includes all the links that my kids class uses. Like the teacher's zoom links for online learning, teacher's updates for each class, other teachers' webpage that my kids can check as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Clever? (1) It's not that user-friendly, every time I have to log on again when restarting my computer. (2) Besides, there's no way to turn in my kids' homework by phone, too much trouble when I try to submit my kids' homework. Every day when I try to submit their homework, I have to take pictures of their homework and then send to my email address, download from the computer and then submit. It would be great if I can submit kids homework by cellphone. (3) Another parts I don't like is it's said that people can manage multiple accounts through one page, like family accounts, but I haven't set up successfully yet.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Clever: Yes I will recommend, still a good app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Clever solving and how is that benefiting you? Just manage my kids' online learning class as a parent. Benefits are some school apps are all installed in one portal, so that it's easier to use on class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IT Technician Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/29/2020 "The Clever Portal is a One stop Shop (When it works)" 5/5 What do you like best about Clever? The Clever portal works amazing when it works. The best parts are that all of the students' information and links are in one single page. This is also the same page they use to login to their Chromebooks, so it makes it super useful for little kids. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Clever? The problem with having a one-stop-shop like this is that if there is an issue with it on the user end or the clever side it could be catastrophic for users. In this case, the users are small children so it can make some problems that are simple becomme very large issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Clever: The customer service seemed non-existent at some times. Expect to be setting this up on your own. This system is not the easiest to set up either. It requires some pre-planning, forethought, and an expectation that if you get it wrong, you will have to fix it yourself. I along with another person were able to get it running but there was some delays initially. You have to weigh the positives with the negatives. If you have little children that are one-to-one with Chromebooks, this is a nice solution that will help them and their parents not feel confused when logging into your devices or websites. But you need to have the planning and forethought to get the system set up ahead of time to plan for some unexpected delays and issues that may arise without any warning. When we made this decision, we decided it was worth it to the students, parents, and staff. Because of this, we went along with the system and have been using it since. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Clever solving and how is that benefiting you? The main problem we solve with this is the ability to have small children login to their computer and other systems like reading eggs or math seeds using their single clever badge. It definitely better than having kindergarteners memorize a password. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Head Swim Coach Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 10/17/2020 "Clever is Easy for both Teachers and Students" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Clever? I love that students can log onto Clever with several different methods. They can use their school email, their student ID or even a unique QR code that they hold up to their laptop to log on. We can even help them find their passwords if they forget them. Clever also holds lots of different applications and home screens for all of their teachers. Almost like a virtual classroom. For example, in my homepage, I have the apps listed for them to easily access their student textbook online, their Vocabulary.com practice site, Canvas (Where they turn in online work), and other useful apps. Their are TONS to choose from. Students can also message you on Clever directly if they need help (Only to teachers). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Clever? There is nothing that I really dislike about clever. Clever is amazing and is the integration that we need during distance learning! The only thing that I can suggest for improvement is sending alerts to our email when a student messages us on Clever. That probably already exists, but I haven't played around in the settings for very long. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Clever: Highly recommend using Clever, you can see when your students have logged on last and interacted with Clever, which apps they used and how long they been inactive, giving you and your administrative team clear targeting goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Clever solving and how is that benefiting you? It links applications together that need to be seamlessly connected to an account and makes it easier on the students (and the teachers, and tech workers in our district). For example, we can sync our classes with Canvas, Newsela, Vocab.com, and SO Many more! I can direct students to Clever to access just about anything that they need online, and they can easily find it and log on through the portal with just a few clicks.

Business Education Teacher Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 11/5/2020 "Makes My Life Easier" 5/5 What do you like best about Clever? I like that with the Clever platform you can easily sign on to just about any website or application that you can imagine. It has excellent applications in the school environment and almost all educational websites and applications are available to connect with. If you don't already have an account on some websites it will set one up for you, or guide you through a quick sign up process using the information connected to your clever account. I have found this most useful when I connect the websites and applications that I use the most and then organize them into a "class" or group where I can then click the link for a single sign on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Clever? The only thing that I dislike is navigating to find the apps or websites that you use the most. I think that it could be easier to access these areas of the website. At the moment there are a lot of categories and groups which make it difficult to find exactly what you are looking for unless you use the search tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Clever: Give it a try because you might find that the time saving functions of this platform are well worth your school or districts investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Clever solving and how is that benefiting you? Being able to log on once and then access all of the websites that I need is excellent. I no longer have the problem of spending a lot of class time signing on to platforms that I use on a daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
