  ### 5. Awful experience with the survey from my school

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 23, 2020

**What do you like best about Panorama Education?**

I don't like anything about Panorama. I recommend that you DO NOT USE THEM.

**What do you dislike about Panorama Education?**

My children's elementary school used Panorama for a parent survey. Complete DISASTER. Panorama got the names and emails wrong. My wife and I received four emails, and none of them were addressed to the correct person. Their also was supposed to only be one response per family, but they never said that and kept sending us both emails. 

It took multiple back-and-forths with their customer service to figure out what we were supposed to do, and by the time we figured it out, the survey window had closed and we could not provide a response to my children's school.

Awful survey tool. To every school out there: please do not use Panorama and subject your parents to their litany of mistakes. Thank you

**Recommendations to others considering Panorama Education:**

Don't use them

**What problems is Panorama Education solving and how is that benefiting you?**

They have not solved problems. THEY CREATED PROBLEMS with their ineptitude.

  ### 6. Great Information but needs tweaking still

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2020

**What do you like best about Panorama Education?**

I like how with panorama you can see data collected from parents, staff, students within the same school district. You can easily compare to other schools and cultures to get a snapshot of what is going on socially emotionally

**What do you dislike about Panorama Education?**

I wish there more more options on how to dig into the data. Some of the questions are not appropriate for elementary but are used k-12. I think this can be changed however. I also dislike how the neutral answer counts negatively overall. This skews data on kids and shows a lot more negative feedback when they are indifferent or neutral

**Recommendations to others considering Panorama Education:**

Make sure you recognize what scores as negative and positive and look at each person individually, even by question and look for patterns. Some questions had trends that you can also look at because of wording or vocabulary

**What problems is Panorama Education solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use panorama to look at social emotional health of our community as a school district. I love seeing the feedback especially from parents as well. It helps us be accountable for that aspect as well not just academics

  ### 7. Great data collection/analyzing tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jessica R. | Elementary School Teacher, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 23, 2020

**What do you like best about Panorama Education?**

The data analysis from the surveys is clear and helpful to school buildings, districts, and leaders.

**What do you dislike about Panorama Education?**

The surveys are very long, which makes it to where some staff quit taking the survey.

**Recommendations to others considering Panorama Education:**

Plan to release surveys with plenty of time for staff to complete and plan to send the survey around the time of a professional work day.

**What problems is Panorama Education solving and how is that benefiting you?**

School climate and culture and the efficiency of building leaders.

  ### 8. Survey Platform with Outstanding Customer Service

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dr. April M. | Business Consultant & Professional Speaker, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2019

**What do you like best about Panorama Education?**

Panorama allows you to create and house custom surveys for educational entities. My favorite part of Panorama is digging into survey results. Not only does it show your changes over time, but it shows your performance relative to other schools across the country.  

**What do you dislike about Panorama Education?**

The one thing I wish it did differently is to analyze qualitative (open-ended) responses. We get so many and have to read them individually, but it would be nice if Panorama would somehow categorize the responses based on key-words or sort them somehow.

**What problems is Panorama Education solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are using the surveys to better understand how parents and staff feel about our school. We send surveys out at the beginning of the year and the end of the year to learn how perspectives changed, how changes were received, and to plan for improvement in the coming years. This data is streamlined and consistent from year to year. 

  ### 9. Awesome Experience

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Shahina M. | Junior Controller, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 17, 2019

**What do you like best about Panorama Education?**

I like it because it helps to get the data and improve the set standard from the outcome. It is also useful to make changes for particular student as the data helps to see the weakness and make an improvement on it.


**What do you dislike about Panorama Education?**

Overlaying the data so one doesn't have to struggle between district, national, teacher outcome would be nice. 

**Recommendations to others considering Panorama Education:**

For educational institution this is a great program for comparison and have in had data for all.

**What problems is Panorama Education solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It helps to get various data for comparison for several years. It also helps to make the report for students at different steps and to make changes accordingly for more improvement.

  ### 10. Long term panorama user

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Government Administration | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2019

**What do you like best about Panorama Education?**

I like how user friendly it is and the many features it has

**What do you dislike about Panorama Education?**

There isn’t really anything that I dislike 

**Recommendations to others considering Panorama Education:**

I would highly recommend using it

**What problems is Panorama Education solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are able to use panorama to organize our incoming work requests. 

  ### 11. Great for Campaign Management

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Paige V. | Operations Director, Fund-Raising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 03, 2017

**What do you like best about Panorama Education?**

Much easier than excel in terms of sorting data, managing data, and not mixing or distorting existing data. Panorama keeps each 'record' and all of its fields very organized, which makes it easier to produce answers quickly.  Additionally, Panorama creates great and professional reports, documents, hand outs, etc. I could not imagine doing my job, as a Campaign Consultant, with out it. 

**What do you dislike about Panorama Education?**

Learning the system takes time. There are many ins and outs of the program and even after using it for five years, I am still only using a fraction of what the program could really provide. The other downside is that the program is too large or not recognized my gmail and we are unable to upload it to shared drives within the company. You have to use Dropbox to share a Panorama file among the company. As a result, (most of the time)the file ends up getting corrupted. 

**What problems is Panorama Education solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Everyone in the company is issued a computer with Panorama loaded onto it. For all campaigns where we manage the database (sometimes 10,000+ records), Panorama helps organize the records throughout the multi-phased campaign. In campaigns where we don't manage the database, we still utilize the program to upload smaller databases and compiling and generating goals, lists, documents, reports, etc. Its a multi-facet program. 

  ### 12. Panorama V Excel

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Fund-Raising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 05, 2017

**What do you like best about Panorama Education?**

Panorama is only better than Excel when merging letters. In every other aspect of using a spread sheet, I would use Excel. It is much easier to navigate, and more widely used making sending a file easier for the recipient 

**What do you dislike about Panorama Education?**

I find it hard to navigate. I am adding rows constantly. Does not seem to have the fluid navigation of Excel. Like stated above, it is not widely used so sharing Panos is hard.

**What problems is Panorama Education solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use it within my company to help us track prospects, develop detailed reports, and merging letters. Is helpful with letters, very easy.

  ### 13. Panorama Review

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kim C. | Student Service, Education Management, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2017

**What do you like best about Panorama Education?**

This program makes it easy to monitor student engagement. The product is helping schools help students gain more insight into who they are so they can become more successful in college.

**What do you dislike about Panorama Education?**

This program is new to me and i have not found any thing that I dislike. I do believe some of the  questions are too vague.

**What problems is Panorama Education solving and how is that benefiting you?**

This program helps with creating student success and progress. It also allows the student to be more aware of their role in society. I believe this is beneficial to success in secondary education.

  ### 14. Great features

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tonya C. | Data Coordinator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 05, 2017

**What do you like best about Panorama Education?**

I love how it helps me keep connected with my co workers

**What do you dislike about Panorama Education?**

there is nothing that i dislike about this program

**What problems is Panorama Education solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am able to keep in contact and get things done.

  ### 15. One of the best School Data tools

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Esther M. | School Counselor, Individual & Family Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2017

**What do you like best about Panorama Education?**

I love how user friendly Panorama is. But most importantly how the data gathered can be used to run a great school counseling program 

**What do you dislike about Panorama Education?**

Not much to dislike about this! Great climate and culture tool

**What problems is Panorama Education solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am using it as data collection for my counseling program. 

  ### 16. Data Analytics for Education

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Elizabeth C. | Temp Staff, Higher Education, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2016

**What do you like best about Panorama Education?**

This is a pretty good program for analyzing educational data with regards to students. I've seen better programs, but if you need something that will help you and be quick about it, this will do the job. The student survey is especially helpful, as it lets students tell teachers what they need done and helps us implement it on the next level.

**What do you dislike about Panorama Education?**

I honestly can't think of anything bad about it, except that support can be a little iffy, depending on the agent that you speak to.

**Recommendations to others considering Panorama Education:**

If you can find a program that is better, by all means use it. But this one will get things done, no problem at all. 

**What problems is Panorama Education solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It helps us analyse student issues, and that means we'll become better educators for it.
