"Works Well… Need Practice to Navigate"
What do you like best about DnA?

There are numerous reports for data that can be pulled. You can look at student assessment scores on a whole group, selected group, individual, or special population basis based on the type of report you run. Assessments from various points through out the year can be pulled simultaneously for comparison. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DnA?

The reports are difficult to navigate because there are so many to choose from and the titles of them are no necessarily descriptive. It would be easier to navigate if a brief description of each report was given beside its title instead of having to click on the report title and taken to a whole other tab in the browser to see it defined.

What do you dislike about DnA?

"One-stop-shop for creating and accessing assessments and data"
What do you like best about DnA?

Illuminate has an easy-to-use interface. Creating assessments is a breeze (there seems to have been a recent face-lift for these options; doing so is now much easier than it was in 2018). Capturing data is also very easy, and users have multiple ways to capture and cross-reference several types of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DnA?

I currently use Illuminate to create assessments but am hesitant to use the platform to administer the assessments because the software does not currently offer a way to lock access to other programs, such as the internet. Student use of the internet to cheat during an assessment is a concern, so assessments created in Illuminate are typically administered via paper. This limits my ability to use Illuminate to assessment creation and data gathering only. It would be great if I could administer and have assessments immediately graded via Illuminate.

"Confusing, glitchy, not user friendly"
What do you like best about DnA?

I like the pie charts that are automatically created but that’s about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DnA?

Where to begin? It’s nearly impossible to search for data, the parts of a spreadsheet don’t align, it often glitches and doesn’t save...this software makes data input a miserable experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Plesantly surprised"
What do you like best about DnA?

It's ease of use. I was ready to put up my defenses and prepare for several challenges, but that did not happen. The implementation went very well and it is so easy to use. The best part is uploading data. There are templates for state data and it's easy for you to import custom data. As long as you can save it using an Excel spreadsheet, you are good to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DnA?

Like any software, there is always cleanup to make sure your data is transferring over, but it's not that bad and it gives you many tips on where to find the problem and how to fix it. It's easy to see what the data errors. Everything loads on one page, quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Requires a lot o training"
What do you like best about DnA?

It has the potential to run great reports and tobuild assessments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DnA?

It does not allow sufficient drill-down like on eof the products that it recently acquired, eduCLIMBER. Getting things customized requires votes after innovations requests are customized and there is no guaranty that they will happen. Filtering sometimes messes up the reports.

"Versatile and efficient!"
What do you like best about DnA?

What I like the most are the various types of searches, filters, and methods to evaluate and gather data. I work as a college adviser at a school and must keep different records and data for each student in my caseload, so the flexibility in the types of reports I can download is great. I also like the layout of the program with colorful tiles in the home page and side bar options, it looks well organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DnA?

I am a beginner, and sometimes the searches or options for searches are not intuitive. Figuring it out on my own takes a long time and I usually need to ask a coworker or superviser how to find certain data, since there are very specific ways to go about certain searches.

"Great Resource"
What do you like best about DnA?

Illuminate has a ton of resources and questions available for testing. The tests are fairly easy to set up and administer to students online. The questions are all aligned to GA state standards. It's easy to make sure the students are being tested on what they would have learned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DnA?

Because there are so many question options, it's often difficult to narrow down question choices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"damn i'm amazed by how far our knowledge has come"
What do you like best about DnA?

That it will provide both a table of gene expression values as well as graph WT and mutant genotypes by expression level. Also important is that the software will normalize data- otherwise none of the data would be significant if we hadn't accounted for the normalization, i.e. in case transcription happened to occur more times within one sample than in another and we had to normalize such that all the samples have the same number of "reads." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DnA?

Absolutely nothing- the raw data is a little bit difficult to understand as it outputs as just lines of data but that isn't an issue at all since the only raw data we care about are tables of gene expression values. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
