The more we learn to use it, the more helpful it is for us\! I absolutely love the customer support. They respond quickly, kindly, and are always helpful. They are open to suggestions for change, and often we see those changes take place\! > > **Cons**: We sometimes call it "clickamore". There are often a lot of steps embedding in a process. That said, there are a lot of shortcuts that I keep learning about that make me like using Sycamore more and more\! > > centralized data and communication for our whole school on many diffeerent levels: administration and management, staff-wide, with families, with students, and with prospective families/students. ----- ### "Sycamore" — 4.0/5 > **Rob** | *4 June 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Sycamore does a lot. It can do almost anything you would need a SIS to do, and it has the best google classroom integration of any SIS and LMS out there. > > **Cons**: Sycamore can be tedious to navigate at times, and some of the design decisions are baffling. It is not easy to figure things out without training. > > Overall, Sycamore has been a good experience for us, despite its flaws, and it has helped us manage our school. ----- ### "Difficult to maneuver but with many features." — 3.0/5 > **Zenab** | *5 October 2017* > > **Pros**: You can do everything on this SIS program. It's very versatile. Logging on is simple and creating accounts is quick. It's a good communication tool. > > **Cons**: It's so difficult to maneuver\! You need to take many steps to complete one task. He parents do not usually log on because of the complicated user interface. ----- ### "It's the customer service that takes this SIS over the top\!" — 5.0/5 > **Kami** | *1 May 2015* > > I have worked with sycamore as a parent, staff member, and super user (software administrator) over the last 7 years. What makes Sycamore work so well, is that it is constantly growing and making enhancements as the needs of it's users grow yet still keeping to the same "feel" and design so that students, parents and teachers don't have to re-learn the software every time there is an enhancement. The software itself is pretty comprehensive and has been easy to use. We have several schools in our district using the software as well, so as parents move from Elementary School to Middle to our High School, they have appreciated not having to learn a new platform, and those that come from outside our district have commented on how easy it was to make the transition. New teachers grasp on to it's layout very quickly. It's hard to really talk about cons, because anytime I have found a quirk or issue, Sycamore has been very receptive to those concerns and actively found a solution or came up with an enhancement. They are always growing the product. Which leads me to their support system and customer service. Most of the time I can find my answers in their Online manual or videos. When I need a bit more help, as a Sycamore Super User, can submit a support ticket any time of day and will get a response within the hour...very very rarely have I not connected with a live person when I have phoned, which I rarely have to do. The support staff is well educated in the software and the nicest people you will ever talk/chat with. As a teacher, you can chat anytime during the school day with a support tech, even just to ask a "where do I find" question...no question is too menial. Overall, you will never find an SIS that meets every schools needs or ways of doing things, so what becomes important is finding an SIS that does the job, is continually growing and advancing, and provides outstanding customer service. This is what Sycamore provides it's customers. ----- ### "We have used Sycamore for about 5 years and are happy with the value for COI." — 4.0/5 > **Paul** | *8 September 2017* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I am most happy with the ability to access grades and grading where and when ever I have internet access. I don't need to carry a gradebook or storage device with my grade spreadsheets, like years past. Being able to excuse students from assignments or customize who the assignment is assigned to is invaluable. > > **Cons**: The interface is improving, but feels a day late the the UI/UX game. We started to use the library module when we first setup with Sycamore, but it needs work and features. The lesson planner for teachers should be scrapped and a connection made with Planbook.com. The Scamore planbook makes it hard to move lessons when things happen like fire drills or snow days. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/9579/sycamore-education?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/9579/sycamore-education) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
