Our school was on a free account for several years which I was told I could use. They discontinued it and deleted my data without warning. Four years of key academic data irrecoverable. The vendor claims that they sent me an email but I never received it and the vendor never supported their claim. They also never gave me so much as an apology or were willing to call it a mistake. I'm definitely uncomfortable relying on this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about openSIS?

Inferface and difficulty to contact the support line Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

OpenSIS helped us centralize student records, attendance, scheduling, and academic reporting in one system, which improved organization and reduced some manual work. However, the system sometimes felt outdated and less user-friendly, and certain functions required extra time or support to manage efficiently Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4/5

What do you like best about openSIS?

The customized fields for Student Information. This is required for a First Nation in Canada that has 9 more data fields for each student. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about openSIS?

One can Schedule a group of students in a homeroom, but one cannot, at present, unschedule a group of students. Instead, one has to remove them one at a time. This makes the workload about 20x what it should be. This may be corrected in the coming months. OTOH, if you are careful. when you schedule a homeroom, you will never need to unschedule them in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

After taking attendance, one cannot delete a course. This makes sense; however, if attendance has been taken by mistake, one can still drop a student enrollment one day after starting classes and then enroll them in the proper class. So, Semester/Term/enrollment should take place on a Saturday. Then if a mistake in enrollment happens and attendance is taken, one can drop the student on Sunday, and enroll them in the correct class for Monday. Still in Demo.
