Overall Review Sentiment for SmartPass

SmartPass has made an incredibly positive impact on our campus climate. Our teachers are able to see who is out in the halls, monitor how frequently students are using the restroom or being out of class, and prevent encounters for students attempting to meet up. Admin are able to see records of how many minutes and how frequently students are out of class and limit passes for those taking advantage. It is overall a wonderful subscription that we use daily. It was very easy to integrate into our existing systems because of the Clever integration. Jennifer Porter has been fabulous for customer support and helped us figure out how to easily integrate a kiosk system for our teachers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would like to have separate limits for kinds of passes. For example, a limit for restroom and water passes, and another limit for trips to the office or to services such as counseling or speech. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to track where students are supposed to be and to block students from being out of class at the same time is wonderful. The data of how many instructional minutes students are missing has been eye opening for both teachers and parents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We had some difficulty in getting accounts set up for subs but did get that worked out eventually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It offers a great view of student time out of class! Accountability for where students are at is clear & easy to see!! The adaptability within the system. It is clear this was built by a practitioner and I LOVE that they listen to what changes and updates would be helpful in the school setting!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would love to have a way to put timelines on student restrictions in the system that would automatically remove the restriction at the end of the timeline. (for example, student encounter prevention or 0 passes available for a set period of time) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As an MTSS Tier 1 coach, we get real time data into the engagement and movement of our students during class. Our teachers have been able to use data from student passes to have constructive conversations about the amount of in class engagement with their students. Our teachers have been able to share time in and out of the classroom with parents when communicating about their students progress. Our admin team has been able to use the data to help spot trends on student movement, allowing us to relocate hallway supports as necessary. Our hall monitors and security, are able to report students who shouldn't be in the halls, allowing meaningful behavioral conversations between students and administrators. I am also impressed with the progress of feature updates and the companies willingness to take feedback and suggestions to continue to improve the product for us.

I do not have any dislikes, because they are continually updating and improving their platform to support the needs of schools and students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love SmartPass. We can keep kids out of the halls and restrict passes for students who would not be together. We have data about how long students are out in the halls and we can also limit the number of passes students are given each day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When you restrict a pass, but then you actually want to meet with those kids but they aren't allowed to have a pass at the same time, it can present a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Smart Pass has cut down on office traffic so much and helped kids be more responsible for themselves for where they're supposed to be and when. I like the ability to limit number of passes and that you can temporarily close down locations. It was super easy to roll out and has an intuitive UI. We use it every day and the few times we've had a question or issue, the customer support is phenomenal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only issue I have currently is I would like to make a note mandatory when requesting to go to certain places. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's lots of flexibility within SmartPass for room settings, pass limits, encounter preventions, individualizing SPass for grade levels or specific students. The data we get from SmartPass helps us to make some decisions monthly. It's easy to use, easy to manage, and we have seen a huge improvement around keeping kids in the classroom and not in the halls during classtime. The cusomter support is excellent!

The reports feature is very limited. We have developed our own spreadsheet to pull the data and work it so we get it to look in a way that helps us make decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The backside of SmartPass is easy for an administrator, and on the front easy for the user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish SmartPass and a PBIS application would merge--we hate using so many applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Support at SmartPass is always available. They are always looking for ways to move forward and make life of teachers and admin easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They have many ideas and sometimes they take longer than anticipated to get moving. There are a few things they had told us were coming last year that we are still waiting for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
