ClassLink Reviews & Product Details

I've been using ClassLink now for 4 years, the first 3 being with Powerschool as our SIS and more recently with Gradelink. They make it very simple to import our roster information with a wide variety of SIS APIs and vendor APIs to choose from, and so far we've never found a service that wasn't supported by ClassLink. Once the SIS is set the sync happens automatically every night or manually, so in the event that we have a change in student enrollment or anything else we will always have the most current roster info.

They are quick to remind us about various deadlines and things we need to do in preparation for the next school year, and if we have any questions they are a quick email, call, or chat away. More recently with our move to Gradelink we had some issues with the roster data not getting imported correctly. ClassLink was able to hop on a shared Zoom call between us and Gradelink to resolve the issue live. They also explained what they did and how they did it as a way for us to take notes and remember what to do for next time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally it might be difficult to get support right away at certain times of the day, particularly around August but I figured that is normal given how many of the schools typically start around that time. If you can't get a representative immediately, they will at least take down your info and email you later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ClassLink is by far the most user-friendly platform I have ever used. Everything is clearly documented and explained in a way that even first-time users can easily understand.

The support team is outstanding, I’ve never spoken to a tech support representative who wasn’t fully knowledgeable about my questions.

Working with ClassLink has even sparked my interest in the field of educational technology. It's truly been a game-changer for our district. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My only complaint about ClassLink? No annual goodie bag with those soft, colorful socks. They really set the bar high!” Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a very easy to use software. There are knowledge base articles on almost everything you want to do in ClassLink and many features that come out on a rolling basis. I really appreciate ClassLink's team, from our account manager to their help desk team - everyone does their best to get you the help you need. It makes rostering for school district a breeze - even when setting up hundreds of apps with different vendors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's nothing I dislike about ClassLink. Whenever I have an issue, they are always there to help me figure it out. There's never been a moment where their support team couldn't help me figure out why something wasn't working - they always give alternatives! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The first thing I would say is that the implementation process was amazing. Our specialist, Rodney, was one of the best people I have ever worked with, and he made the process so smooth and easy to understand.

As for the actual product all I can say is has made life so much easier with rostering online apps and getting a single sign on setup. I've also been very happy with the Quick Cards for our younger students to use for logging into Windows with. It's made life much simpler.

The support has also been very good with quick responses that are helpful and thorough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only issues I've had are with managing and manipulating the data from our SIS. It can be very complicated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I dislike about ClassLink. Every product they offer is specifically designed with educators in mind, and are always creating new programs or adding new features when it is brought to their attention that changes are needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside is having difficult vendors who don't want to work with ClassLink to create seamless integrations for rostering and SSO. The customer experience is the best I have every received, bar none, both in and out of education. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It simplifies and automates so much of our work. From platform rostering. SSO, and provisioning our AD and Google accounts.

Setup of the product is intuitive and support will help you in any way you need.

We use ClassLink products every day in our district. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ClassLink's SSO dashboard, LaunchPad, is a game-changer for both students and staff. Instead of managing a multitude of usernames and passwords, we now have a single, easy-to-navigate portal for all of our digital resources. For our youngest learners, the ability to use QuickCards has made technology access fun and accessible, empowering them to start learning immediately without frustration. For teachers, the platform is intuitive, allowing them to quickly find and launch the apps they need, saving precious instructional time.

The rostering of students and staff has been a historically time-consuming and often inaccurate process, but with ClassLink's Roster Server it securely connects to our Student Information System (SIS), and automatically syncs our class rosters to all of our integrated educational applications.

While the technology itself is great, another strength of our partnership with ClassLink lies in the support we receive from our engagement managers. They've been far more than just a help desk; they are a collaborative extension of our team. Our engagement manager has provided expert guidance from the initial implementation to ongoing training and problem-solving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While most software setups hae worked seamlessly, there have been a couple of times where we have run into issues. But, they have been resolved with a little addtional assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The OneSync component is essential for our operations because it automates system data transfer. Our primary data source is the Student Information System, PowerSchool, which helps us manage student information efficiently. With OneSync, we can easily set up student accounts using Active Directory.

We have also implemented many Active Directory group assignments, which help organize students into the right groups without hassle. One of the key features of OneSync is its ability to create secure SFTP exports for data transfers. We can take our existing data, apply specific processing rules, and automatically update and share this information with other systems.

We have been using this every time a new automation is brought up in our conversations. The Classlink documentation library and its academy provide enough information to become a pro at using it. And if you can't figure it out, their support team is fantastic and knowledgeable.

This setup offers a reliable solution, and we value its strong automation features that enhance our workflow and data management processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to be honest. They keep adding multiple different components. Just this summer they added OneData, ThreatScan and AppTrack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most helpful aspect of Classlink is the ability to roster digital resources that our district subscribes to for one click access for our staff and students to login to them. We are able to assign them based on their grade, building or even course they are scheduled for as it synchs with our SIS. The majority of our teachers and students use it on a daily basis. It is more frequently used in grades K-8 than grades 9-12. However, more digital resources are requiring access through the Classlink Launchpad so grades 9-12 are using it more each year.

Also, having a launchpad where we can push out apps (links) to resources and information. I like to describe it as the window into our instructional technology resources.

Their support is top notch. From day one I have gotten responses within 24 hours or less of submitting a ticket. In emergencies, I have also called and gotten immediate help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I truly cannot think of a downside. We have only had positive experiences in our use of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After the initial setup of everything, this all runs so smooth. We've also just implemented OneSync this year which is going to help automate our account creation for AD once and for all. It's amazing how one program can do soooo much for a school district. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not sure there are any downsides to using the program. The amount of self training modules and helpdesk articles you can find, you can fix almost anything on your own after the initial training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
