## PowerSchool BusinessPlus Reviews
  ### 1. HR and Business Office/Payroll Software for Education

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nia C. | Human Resources Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 10, 2018

**What do you like best about PowerSchool BusinessPlus?**

BusinessPLUS is an enterprise software for our HR and Business Office/Payroll departments. The best part about it is that it's an integrated system. It includes employee information/demographics, employee pay, employee leave, calendars for educators, an employee portal, and much more. It is designed for education which is a big benefit. If you have programmers in-house there is also the ability for it to be customized. 

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool BusinessPlus?**

It's a cumbersome system compared to some of the other sleeker systems available, and many of the features that we like best we have customized ourselves.

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool BusinessPlus:**

This is a solid product with much integration. If you have a team in house that can customize, this is a good solution for a district. There may be better "out of the box" solutions though if you don't have that ability. As an overall ERP solution it is good. There are other modules that we don't use included applicant recruiting and tracking as well as sub tracking and finding. It has a basic look and feel in terms of user interface and looks a bit antiquated, but overall it gets the job done well. The integration of this product throughout all aspects of business office and human resources functions cannot be overstated. It is the reason why this product works well. 

**What problems is PowerSchool BusinessPlus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have seamlessly integrated our leave system with our calendar system. We can issue electronic contracts through the system. It has great reporting capabilities as well. 

  ### 2. Doesn't quite meet the needs of the organization

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 14, 2017

**What do you like best about PowerSchool BusinessPlus?**

Ability to customize and granular control over workflow and security.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool BusinessPlus?**

Excessive paper use for checks and balances.  Not fully web compatible with HTML 5 support, requires specific OS and browser using Citrix connection.  Updates are slow to deploy.  Some workflow capability seems to be missing (e-mail notifications that seem simple to implement are missing, printing files to a PDF is not possible or difficult).

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool BusinessPlus:**

Investigate the need for strong internal development skills and your overall workflow to confirm that BusinessPLUS can meet your needs, and you can support the requirements of BusinessPLUS.

**What problems is PowerSchool BusinessPlus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Finance system management.
