"A flexible, cost efficient ERP for schools that need structure without the enterprise bloat"

5/5

What do you like best about OpenEduCat?

As a Principal at BCG working with education institutions on digital transformation, I appreciate ERP platforms that balance functionality, modularity, and cost discipline. OpenEduCat does this surprisingly well.

Because it is built on Odoo/Flectra, it offers a highly modular system that allows schools to activate only the features they truly need whether admissions, SIS, attendance, finance, or LMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenEduCat?

OpenEduCat is powerful, but it is not plug and play. Schools without in-house IT support may find that:

Customization takes time because everything is modular

The interface, while functional, could be more polished and modern

Some advanced analytics especially around student performance trends require additional configuration

Institutions with complex reporting needs may need optional add ons or custom modules Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenEduCat solving and how is that benefiting you?

OpenEduCat is an excellent choice for schools and universities seeking a scalable, modular, and economically sensible education ERP suite. While it may require some configuration and customization, the platform’s flexibility and cost efficiency make it a strong contender in the education technology space.

"Transforming Academic Operations into an Integrated Learning Ecosystem with OpenEduCat"

5/5

What do you like best about OpenEduCat?

OpenEduCat brings everything under one roof admissions, course management, grading, and communication creating a seamless learning experience.

The open source model gives us full freedom to customize modules for Chime’s specific learning framework.

Integration with Odoo and Flectra makes it easy to connect academic and administrative data, supporting both learning analytics and performance tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenEduCat?

The interface, while functional, could use a more modern touch especially on mobile for students.

Some modules require technical expertise to configure, so smaller institutions might need developer support at the start.

Advanced analytics and LMS style visual dashboards could be more intuitive for non-technical users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenEduCat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before adopting it, we were using multiple disconnected tools for admissions, attendance, grading, and student communication. That fragmentation made it difficult to align instructional design with actual student performance data. With OpenEduCat, we now have a unified digital ecosystem one where curriculum planning, assessment design, and student management flow together seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"From paper piles to proactive literacy success: OpenEduCat transformed how we run our programs"

5/5

What do you like best about OpenEduCat?

t Ignite Reading, we manage literacy programmes across multiple schools and campuses, and OpenEduCat has brought much needed cohesion. We used to juggle separate spreadsheets for enrollment, attendance, reading assessments and parent communication; now everything lives in one system: student profiles, academic history, reading levels, results, attendance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenEduCat?

The “go live” phase required more internal coordination than I’d anticipated. Because the system is comprehensive, our literacy team needed extra training and we needed set up time to map our unique reading programme workflows into OpenEduCat’s modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenEduCat solving and how is that benefiting you?

In my role as Literacy Success Partner at Ignite Reading focused not just on teaching but on operational fidelity and sustaining reading outcomes I’ve found OpenEduCat to be very well suited for our objectives. It aligns with the goal of reducing manual processes, improving operational efficiency and supporting a digital first literacy programme environment. By centralizing enrollment, scheduling, attendance, performance tracking, and even fee/tuition module adaptation (we repurpose it for programme fees or center contributions) it helps our staff spend less time on paperwork and more time on strategy and student engagement.

"From therapy logs to campus wide clarity: OpenEduCat empowers our SLP operations"

5/5

What do you like best about OpenEduCat?

In my role as a Speech Language Pathologist at Patheous Education I often juggle student profiles, therapy session schedules, attendance tracking, progress data and cross department communication. OpenEduCat has allowed us to centralize all those workflows student enrolment, attendance, performance evaluation into one unified platform thanks to its modular student information, course planning, exam & grading, and fee modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenEduCat?

Because our therapy department has specialised needs (e.g., multi session tracking per student, custom progress metrics, parent SLP communication logs) the initial setup and customisation required more time and effort than we originally budgeted. The flexibility is a strength, but it meant more consultancy involvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenEduCat solving and how is that benefiting you?

In my capacity as a Speech Language Pathologist working across multiple schools and therapy programmes at Patheous Education, I find OpenEduCat to be a very compelling solution for institutions seeking to streamline operations, reduce manual processes and move to a digital first environment.

"OpenEduCat helped us bring order, transparency, and scalability to school operations"

5/5

What do you like best about OpenEduCat?

At Broils Consulting Group, using OpenEduCat has been a game changer. First, the student information and faculty modules mean we now have one place where everything lives student profiles, grades, attendance, history no more flipping through spreadsheets or paper files. That saves time every day, and reduces mistakes. The course planning, timetable, and exam-grading tools are solid: we can build curricula, schedule classes, and run assessments much more efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenEduCat?

It’s not perfect. We found the initial implementation requires decent technical knowledge or dedicated IT support setting up custom workflows, configuring reports, integrating modules takes time. Some of the dashboard and reporting features feel less flexible than we expected; you sometimes hit limitations or have to workaround if you want particular views or layouts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenEduCat solving and how is that benefiting you?

For us at Broils Consulting Group, OpenEduCat has delivered real improvements: decreased manual administration, better decision making thanks to more accurate data, and much more transparency between students, staff, and parents. There was an upfront investment in time and training, but once past that, the platform has scaled well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Modular, School Focused ERP That Grows With Us Excellent for Transparency & Efficiency"

5/5

What do you like best about OpenEduCat?

OpenEduCat makes it easy for our school to bring all core functions under one system. We can manage student information, attendance, grading, fees, and communication without juggling multiple platforms. It is modular and flexible, so we started with only the features we needed and added more later as we grew. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenEduCat?

The onboarding process requires a lot of time and effort, especially for schools without technical staff. Some modules and dashboards still feel less polished, which means new users take longer to get comfortable. Pricing also climbs quickly once you scale up with more users or need premium features, which can be challenging for smaller schools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenEduCat solving and how is that benefiting you?

OpenEduCat has been a strong solution for Mastery Schools. It reduced manual processes, improved transparency, and made our operations more efficient. While it requires upfront training and the costs can increase as you expand, the benefits of having a scalable, customizable system outweigh the drawbacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hello Jeffrey P.,

Thank you for sharing such a detailed and thoughtful review!

We’re thrilled to know that OpenEduCat’s modular approach enables Mastery Schools to start small, scale features as needed, and manage student data, attendance, grading, fees, and communication all in one place. Flexibility and transparency are exactly what we strive to provide.

Your feedback on onboarding, dashboard usability, and scaling costs is extremely helpful. We’re continuously enhancing our interface and expanding training resources to simplify setup for schools without dedicated IT staff, and we’re exploring pricing models that better accommodate growing institutions.

It’s wonderful to see how OpenEduCat is streamlining your operations and improving efficiency.

"Driving operational efficiency and transparency across campuses a game changer with smart pricing"

5/5

What do you like best about OpenEduCat?

At The Citizens Foundation, we manage multiple campuses and a high student turnover; OpenEduCat has enabled us to bring student enrollment, fee collection, course scheduling and assessment tracking all into one system. What previously required multiple spreadsheets, manual reconciliations and departmental hand-offs now flows through a centralized dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenEduCat?

Because many institutions are using it across different geographies and languages, occasionally we encountered localisation issues (currency/date formats) that needed manual correction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenEduCat solving and how is that benefiting you?

As an Assistant Manager – Talent Acquisition responsible for aligning our hiring and staffing strategy with institutional efficiency, I have found OpenEduCat to be a highly practical solution for an organisation like The Citizens Foundation that is committed to reducing manual processes and embracing digital workflows. It mirrors our objective of creating a connected, transparent academic environment while bringing administrative accuracy and cost efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Unified ERP for Education: How OpenEduCat Empowered Our Multi-Campus Operations"

5/5

What do you like best about OpenEduCat?

Because OpenEduCat is open-source and built on Odoo/Flectra frameworks, our internal IT team had access to configuration/customization versus being locked into a black box vendor. This gave us more ownership and ability to align workflows with our institutional processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenEduCat?

While the modular and open nature is a strength, it also means initial setup and configuration required a fair amount of technical time. For institutions without dedicated IT/staff familiar with Odoo/Flectra, the learning curve can be steeper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenEduCat solving and how is that benefiting you?

For an operations oriented manager like myself, looking to bring structure, transparency and scalability to educational services in an institutional environment, OpenEduCat delivered. It struck a strong balance between feature rich functionality, openness (no vendor lock-in), and cost effectiveness. If your institution has moderate technical support or is willing to engage with configuration/setup, this is a very good choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the biggest advantages of OpenEduCat is that it centralizes key academic and administrative functions such as admissions, student records, attendance, grading, and finance into one system. This eliminates the need for schools and colleges to rely on multiple disconnected tools. The modular design is another strong point because it allows institutions to start with the features they need most and add more modules as they grow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenEduCat?

The main challenge with OpenEduCat is that the initial configuration often requires technical expertise or outside support, which can be a hurdle for institutions without in-house IT staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenEduCat solving and how is that benefiting you?

As the Founder at Blueprint Education Partners, I find OpenEduCat to be a practical and budget-friendly ERP solution that truly brings structure to academic operations.

3/5

What do you like best about OpenEduCat?

What I appreciate most about OpenEduCat is how it centralizes multiple processes into a single platform. From admissions and student data tracking to attendance and examinations, the system eliminates the need for juggling separate tools. As someone used to handling large engineering teams, I value structured workflows and OpenEduCat delivers that by creating a smooth pipeline for academic management Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenEduCat?

The platform can feel overwhelming at first because of its wide range of modules. It takes a bit of training to get the most out of it, especially for institutions that are transitioning from traditional or scattered systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenEduCat solving and how is that benefiting you?

OpenEduCat provides a well-rounded and cost-conscious ERP solution for educational institutions.
