It allows teachers to communicate grades and concerns to parents with general ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The communication tools (for parents to email teachers, etc.) are difficult to find at first, and then when you do, they are not as fluid as email-only apps or programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the interface, it's very user-friendly. Similar to facebook so most people can figure it out quickly. I deal with hundreds of parents every day, most of whom are not very tech-savvy, and they all use Edsby without a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't much to say here. If I have something I dislike, I communicate with the customer service team and they fix it! They are amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For teachers, the gradebook and report writing are big wins. They make this paperwork efficient and for me that means more time for face-to-face time with students and more time to be creative with lessons. The ability to link websites, and documents to lessons and homework keeps resources handy to both me and a student.

Students benefit from knowing what is going on in class and their homework even when they miss class.

Lesson planning, homework, and how much information is shared with students and parents can be determined by schools. There are many possibilities for curriculum development and recording. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Updates happen overnight which for the most part is good - once and a while features change slightly with out notice (ie. Search will behave differently suddenly). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Edsby's interface is easy to navigate, making it accessible for families that may not be tech savvy, but offers a ton of advanced functions that makes it an essential tool for our staff. Staying current and being innovative in education is a priority for our school, and Edsby fits in well with that model. They seek constant feedback from users and continue to add new features to meet our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are in a uniques position because we are a small school - we do not have another SMS to sync users and so we have to input new users manually. We've managed though - it's a small inconvenience compared to the value we get from using Edsby. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Edsby have been excellent partners with us as we aim to create our online community and internal assessment database. They are quick to respond to our every need and have been thus far able to fulfill all of our requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The functionality of the app could be improved to greater mirror the desktop version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Strongly aligned with our regulator's requirements. Cloud hosted. Easy interface. Synchronizes nightly with our SIS. SSO with Google and our AD. One stop shopping. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Features often rolled out with little warning. Not all new features are fully vetted and tested before being deployed. Non -customizable user roles. Hard to pull reports off of back end. Difficulty in creating parent accounts as they are currently listed as contacts and need to be invited to become parents. No way to export calendars from Edsby calendars to gCal.

This is a very capable product. It has strengths in data management for sure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the UX Design is cluttered and non-intuitive. With the userbase of the application having such a wide range of navigational skills, it could use some work making pathways clearer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has great potential to help me and my children stay on top of assignment and grades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Messaging is a complete mess!

All last year, I kept trying to contact teachers or administration at my child's middle school, and if I noticed an error in my wording or a typo, heaven forbid I try to go back and fix it! Once I went back, there was no returning to the end of the paragraph again. It was beyond frustrating. It was not user intuitive, either. It would take a while to figure out where to go to email a specific teacher, see homework assignments, and see grades. All of this is from the Edsby app, I'd like to add -- which is the only way I have been able to view Edsby. All on my iPhone.

My students seem to be able to log in and view what they need to view, but it's also near impossible to find certain assignments or instructions if they have to go back in the class thread a bit. I'm speaking of the class conversations.

I also wish more teachers were able to update it more frequently. More than half of the teachers don't update until the last minute (perhaps it is just as much of a pain on their end?). If it worked as well as it says it should, and if all the teachers would use it, it would be a great program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
