Pros
I LOVE the customer service. They are always willing to work with us and help us adapt the program to what we need. I love the many different reporting features and how they each have a unique description that helps me find exactly what I need. I also like that I can star the reports I frequently use. I like that I am able to easily fill in grades in the "gradebook" tab, as well as having the opportunity to quickly report final grades at the end of the term. I am also happy with the ease in resetting a password for a user who has forgotten theirs as well as the quick ability to change a username. I appreciate that many users can have access to the same information (meaning a student and both of their parents can have their own accounts but access the same information on their child). I think overall I am mostly impressed with Alma's support team, how quickly and professionally they respond, how they will not let me leave the conversation until they are satisfied that all of my questions have been answered and my concerns resolved, and I love that they are constantly updating, making the website better, and then sending out an email with all of the updates and detailed instructions on how to utilize them.
Cons
I feel the website could be slightly more user friendly. There are often times it takes longer than I would like to access the information that I need (a lot of clicking through redundant tabs and not a lot of short cuts). I also wish it was easier for parents to understand the website. I don't like that there is no easy way for a parent to access a student's missing work, instead having to look through each class and assignment to see what has and has not been turned in. I also wish there was a way for us, as administrators and teachers, to see exactly what the parents see. It is hard to give advice and support to a parent when their screen looks different from mine; and I often don't know if they can see everything that I can, like all of the notes and assignment descriptions and what not. Otherwise, I am mostly happy with Alma.

Alma is a superb SIS that serves our school better than any previous platform. As a small, innovative school, we have been able to customize the platform to fit our needs–from proficiency grading and report cards to internal reports and external messaging. The customer service is always tremendously responsive and helpful. Ten out of ten, would recommend.
Pros
Innovative and intuitive SIS that serves all stakeholders of our school well–from students and families to teachers and administrators.
Cons
Similar to other SIS platforms, the admin approval process for progress reports and report cards can be time consuming.

Overall, our experience has been great! Nothing makes a difference more than an awesome Customer Support Team and Alma's is beyond compare.
The few cons are not reason enough to switch systems. I am confident that with a little more time Alma will resolve the few features we are missing and they'll be the best SIS on the market! We are happy with Alma and look forward to growing with them!
Pros
Alma is extremely user friendly and has a modern look for parents. We love that they are constantly listening to user feedback and making improvements to the platform. Their customer service teams is one of the best I've ever worked with.
Cons
While they are constantly listening to feedback and making improvements, Alma is still growing. The two areas that we miss functionality are in communications and fees/invoicing (done through Stripe -- you deal with Stripe's support team, not Alma's).
