Confusing to new users > > My experience was okay, not the best SIS out there but will get the job done for the money ----- ### "Serves the whole district" — 5.0/5 > **Francis** | *2 March 2018* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We vetted this product for almost two years and found that the districts were happiest with SchoolBrains. Their support is the best in the business. Twenty years as teacher, dept head and principal and I'm not sure where negative feedback originates. We had surveys for admin staff, teachers, parents, and administrators and all believe support and ease of use has been great. Implementation was a lot smoother than previous. Very communicative and helpful during the transition process. Total cost of ownership is much lower when you figure how much our other service was charging us for support and reports. SchoolBrains has custom reports, solid state reporting that saved us a lot of time. Functionality, service, price...all A+. > > **Cons**: My business manager wishes they would offer a financial/ budget/ payroll module. Although it has a bus route piece, our transportation head hoped for a geo mapping module, too. > > If you need help, ask. They will help. Any new software can be challenging to use at first. That's probably where neg reviews start. We've been with them for more than three years and have not had issues that weren't quickly resolved. I went from a district with 900 students to one with more than 10,000 students and both use Schoolbrains. They provide new technology upgrades free of charge, too. Initial presentation was transparent and honest; what was promised, was delivered. I'm also a parent of a student in my district and can speak positively from that perspective as well. Please call if you have questions. ----- ### "My expirience of use SchoolBrains" — 4.0/5 > **Yevstakhii** | *12 May 2023* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Student data management: SchoolBrains offers robust student data management capabilities, allowing schools to efficiently organize and track student information. I can easily input and access student data, including demographics, attendance records, grades, and more. This centralized system helps streamline administrative tasks and provides a comprehensive overview of student progress.Parent and student portals: SchoolBrains includes portals that facilitate communication and engagement between parents, students, and school staff. These portals provide access to real-time information such as attendance, grades, assignments, and announcements. Parents and students can stay informed about academic progress, upcoming events, and school news.Scheduling and calendar management: SchoolBrains provides tools for scheduling classes, managing course catalogs, and creating academic calendars. I can efficiently allocate resources, assign teachers, and create schedules that meet the needs of students and staff. The system also supports automated scheduling and conflict resolution, saving time and reducing errors.Reporting and analytics: SchoolBrains offers reporting and analytics features that enable schools to generate detailed reports on various aspects of student performance, attendance, and other relevant metrics. These reports help me gain insights into trends, identify areas for improvement, and make data-driven decisions. > > **Cons**: User interface and navigation: I have mentioned that the user interface of SchoolBrains can be complex and not as intuitive as they would prefer. Navigating through the system or finding specific features may require some time and effort, especially for new users or those less familiar with technology.Learning curve and training: SchoolBrains offers a wide range of features and functionality, which can result in a steep learning curve for users. I noticed that training and support resources may not be sufficient, making it challenging to fully utilize the system's capabilities. Adequate training and ongoing support can help users maximize the benefits of SchoolBrains.Performance and responsiveness: I have issues related to the performance and responsiveness of SchoolBrains, especially during peak usage times. Slow loading times or delays in accessing data can affect productivity. > > SchoolBrains offers a centralized platform for managing student information, including demographics, attendance, grades, and more.

Fast access to the data we need. Easy report creation. Meets state reporting requisites that other systems have a hard time providing. Teachers and administrators said it was intuitive. Implementation was easier than previous. Critical support was responsive. Access to vice president with one call. > > **Cons**: Support was decent but not great. Noncritical support by way of general questions or functionality was not good and at times we needed to follow up more than twice to receive answers. They manage full control of their data. It would be easier for districts, certainly ours, if we were able to create or modify certain Nontraditional or customized reports instead of calling support. Needs better integration options to third party systems. > > The three presentations were excellent. They covered everything we needed and we were well prepared with questions and he showed how the system functions, not just the benefits. If you've never been through a data systems change, you'll be surprised how much there is to it. My staff and I changed four years ago and we knew basically what to expect. It went smoother than we thought with SchoolBrains and the implementation team was accommodating and helpful. They also had an option to do more of the heavy lifting on their end. If you do not know what you're doing, spend the extra money it will be worth it. Fortunately, we have a capable staff and they had no issues. After training teachers embraced the ease of use and that intuitive behavior was critical for the union. ----- ### "Saved District Money-Robust and Intuitive-Responsive Support" — 5.0/5 > **Willis** | *25 January 2010* > > **Pros**: Our entire management team bought in to using the system after review of four well-know larger national brands. SchoolBrains saved us money up front and continues to be a smart long-term investment for our district. Teachers learned it quickly, the software is robust and the benefits are enormous... it is totally configurable and completely unifies all of our district data so all student information can be viewed quickly. When we need help, the service has been the best I've ever exeperinced from a vendor in thirty years in education. > > **Cons**: I wish more people knew about schoolBrains. It was at first difficult to get all parties together to agree to have them present but once it happened, we became instant fans. > > schoolBrains saves my district money, saves my teachers and staff time and completely unifies all of our data so we have one place to quickly and easily see all critical student information. Very responsive support team. As a thirty-year educator, my teachers union, superintendent and schoolboard highly endorse schoolBrains. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/78049/schoolbrains?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/78049/schoolbrains) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
