“simple and dependable!”

Pros

As someone who isn't especially tech savvy this has been a perfect fit. It's easy to use while still offering a lot of useful features. Because of it we can assign incoming students much more efficiently and effectively.

Cons

There's very little about the software that I dislike. On the rare occasion that an issue or concern comes up it gets resolved very quickly through Live Chat which has been consistently fast and thorough.

“Flexibility that fits any school”

Cons

Don't have any complaints. Any time something came up during set up process or while using the system the live support team was available and ready to help.
