"Great documentation/early alert program!"
5/5
What do you like best about Starfish?

I love that you can use this product to warn students early of their classroom performance! It's a back up way of documentation other than an email directly to the student. The attendance feature is also awesome because you have more options that just present or absent. This program is easy to use for the most part. The setting up of your schedule can be confusing sometimes but can easily be figured out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Starfish?

I dislike that this program is not geared as much toward health sciences, however it does have editing ability to create items that health science programs can use. In the attendance feature, I would like to have an option to denote snow days or school closures/delays. It would make it easier for me to track attendance and make up time. A time calculator tool would also be a great feature for programs who require time based attendance. Along with the tardy button in the attendance, an option to type in how tardy the student was would be beneficial also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Performs Well"
4/5
What do you like best about Starfish?

I like how user-friendly and intuitive the Starfish platform is to work with. It's easy to navigate and to connect with a number of other offices in a few seconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Starfish?

What I dislike about Starfish is it's connection with Microsoft Outlook which sometimes results in appointments being double-booked or cancelled appointments appearing as still active. Although many software programs might conflict with the Microsoft exchange, it's imperative that the calendaring system bugs get worked out sooner than later.

"Use this service to make appointments with students"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Starfish?

Allows for digital sign in sheets and helps us monitor how many students we are meeting with and what recurring issues they are coming in to resolves. Also helps our staff schedule meetings for each other while working the front desk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Starfish?

The layout is kind of bland and it is often difficult to find how to customize my account for example business hours. I have also found it confusing when trying to link to my Microsoft office calendar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
