Classter

The Features offered are quite useful and specific to K-12 use as that was product version looked at. The Administration of components such as the scheduling, transport tool, assets, contacts and Academics was quite impressive.
The layout and separation of fields from Management and configuration worked well in clustering user interactions and allowing ease of use.
I enjoyed the ability to maintain roles.
Further to this there were a variety of components that allowed for first managing grades, classes, subjects, academic sessions and homework. It allowed for role management and easy to use user management.
The configurations allow for a good foundation in updating and editing fields.
As an Administration tool it was very comprehensive and designed well for the user experience.
Integration with Microsoft systems is offered.

Unfortunately, while administration was great there were a lot of glaring flaws.
The management of Classes, calendars, timetables, academics, assets, etc. went well however it didn't allow much in the way of incorporating online learning experiences.
It records data but was very efficient at authoring data.
You can manage Homework tasks but there was no way to author lessons or build a learning journey for students.
Reporting and gradebooks were limited in the format or the information they could provide.
Quizzes, assessments, and exams were very basic and inconveniently delivered as they aren't part of a learning journey.
There is no way to record and manage the payment of events for activities or school events.
The modules appear to accomodate many uses but function more as an administration tool for recording and managing data rather than creating treaching platform.
The costs are reasonable but the terms and conditions for reselling are ridiculous. You need to pay a massive fee to become a reseller.
They do not offer a white label solution and you see the classter logo everywhere, unable to change it.
The integration is not as expected as you don't work in the system with the integrated products. it simply records data.
The costs for development, support, integrations, implementation, reselling, and anything above foundational phase and the initial cost make this an extremely expensive product for what it is able to do.

Financial Module works fine. Academic Module is decent.

User Experience is bad & Application almost useless. We had to do debugging numerous times, as things didn’t work properly.

Classter accommodates children from Infant age (8 months) to High School.
