Minga Reviews & Product Details

The best thing about Minga is that it is an all in one hub for most, if not all, of our schools' needs with regards to teachers and students with regards to a management platform. Communication, behavior tracking, flex sessions, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes ease of searching inside Minga. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Minga is very user friendly for school staff, parents, and students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When students are restricted, it generates a denial code when they request a hall pass- but no description of what the denial code is. This is easy to find as school staff, but if it were easier for students to see it would further save time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Accurate restroom usage data, along with a paperless, contactless pass system. It also supports lockout/blackout times for pass restrictions, event management, and check-ins and check-outs. Positive behavior point management is included as well, making it easy to track points and put them to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial setup can be a bit overwhelming, but the staff at Minga is awesome about assisting when I have questions. Other than that, it is a pretty seamless system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The automated systems that can be used in Minga for hall passes, tardiness, positive recognition, and detention management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it doesn't sync well with our SIS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the quick turnaround with customer service. If we have an issue, we can hop on to office hours, which are extremely helpful. The tools added for scheduling and giving points are useful, especially for managing where students need to be placed or for classroom activities. It allows us to assign points to all students or specific ones and schedule them for office hours. The student-facing platform looking like social media helps engage students. I find the way Minga allows assigning positive points and letting students cash them in reasonable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the ways we need to get students into things are super repetitive, where I have to create the office hours over and over again. I'm wondering if there could be AI or enhancements that create repeated scheduling to reduce the burden on teachers when it's a systematic scheduling task. The initial setup was pretty challenging too, and I had to work with customer support to get it integrated with Aeries. It involved creating structural frameworks and recopying them repeatedly, and if that could be improved, it would save a lot of time for future setups. We love automations but would also appreciate a link to the grades so that we could link the grades to scheduling flextime interventions and communicate this to parents.

I think that keeping up with tardies and the automations and different things that go with the tardy portion of Minga are really good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think when teachers write up kids, the kids shouldn't see what the teacher writes about them. That was a problem for me because it affects privacy between the administrator and teacher. Kids can go and see what teachers say and come up with stories to explain themselves, which is not ideal. Also, getting reports was challenging, especially at the end of the year. I don't know if the files are too big or what, but it was a major problem, and I didn't get much support. Another issue was the pricing, as it's just too high. Other products offer similar services for less money, and for me to justify the price, there need to be improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that I can assign roles and permissions as appropriate for our school so we can customize it easily. I like that there are so many different ways that we can improve accountability on our campus. And I like that it's fairly user-friendly. We've been able to get the platform going school-wide over the last two years. Minga helps us delegate roles, which builds efficient and sustainable systems, so we don't have to rely too heavily on any one person. Minga has been very supportive, and we've had a good experience.

We would like to have a better system on the kiosk so we could use tardies more effectively. Right now, we can't have kiosk mode on for both check-in and hall pass at the same time, which is challenging, especially since our school doesn't have a lot of interior hallways. Also, we're developing the tardy accountability system and need something that either syncs with Aeries or can be used more effectively to issue automations with tardies.

Most of the features are very user-friendly, and the software can be adapted to our individual needs. The company works with us to make sure we’re getting an experience that truly matches our needs and focus. I could go on... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest downside is the cost. I previously worked at a larger school where we implemented the software, and it was fabulous, but that school’s budget could absorb the expense. Now that I’m finishing my career at a much smaller school, it simply can’t afford the cost in its budget. I would love to bring Minga to this new site and teach the staff here how to use it before I retire, but with only 200 students, it just doesn’t fit within our budget.

Minga has simplified not only our hallway system but also rewards and guidance! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. We love it! Just need to explore training offered to teachers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate Minga because it's super easy to use, and the teachers love it. It's really quick to make a hall pass and end them, which means it doesn't disrupt classroom instruction. Another nice feature is the reporting capabilities, which are great. Also, the initial setup was very easy; all we had to do was link it to our student information system.
