SEQTA Reviews

Pros

Nothing in Seqta stands out as better than the other LMS platforms I've tried most of the time it seems like it's doing things worse than they do.

Cons

The layouts, scripts, labels, icons and overall structure are confusing and inconsistent which makes the system harder to work with than it should be.

Pros

It comes with a really broad set of features that covers pretty much every part of education management and learning that you'd want and honestly it seems like it goes well beyond what I personally need day to day. That said it doesn't feel very user friendly and a few parts of the interface can be genuinely annoying when you're trying to get things done quickly. The help desk team though, has been good and responsive when I've needed support.

Cons

The usability needs a major upgrade to make day to day navigation and workflows seem simpler.

Pros

I love that all student information is collected into one central repository. I can access teacher planning, assessments, reports and timetables anytime, anywhere which makes my work so much easier.

Cons

Getting everyone to use it consistently is tricky for me, since staff have varying IT skills and confidence, so I've had to help train some users.

Pros

SEQTA was simple to set up and helps staff quickly view their classes along with the planning. Also it gives staff access to both student information and the learning side so you're not jumping between systems. Another win is that it generates academic reports through the platform which means everything can stay consolidated in one place for reporting and day to day work.

Cons

It would be great to see the product keep evolving so we eventually don't need SchoolPro as our source of truth. The other downside is the additional cost that comes up when you need to request changes made.

Pros

I find it really easy to work with and the whole layout is user friendly. Moving around the system is quick and when I need help, the help desk response time is very fast. The community support question area is also genuinely useful. I especially enjoy generating reports as everything is easy to locate and there are lots of report types to choose from. Most of the time, when I'm trying to pull a report or enter data, it goes smoothly and quickly.

Cons

Even though I'm very happy with the reporting side, there are a couple of reports I wish were available when pulling specific data. I usually manage to work around those gaps but it does end up taking a bit longer than I'd like.

Pros

PC&W is really amazing and the student information along with the teaching & learning/programmes section is genuinely impressive. Everything is set up in a way that makes it much easier to track what's going on and stay organised across courses.

Cons

One thing missing is that it doesn't link to EDVAl so there's an extra step to manage information elsewhere. It also helps if coordinators proactively contact the Heads of Faculty because that connection isn't happening consistently.

Pros

I can see why schools might choose this platform. There are moments where it helps with specific data requests and the concept makes sense if a school is trying to centralize information. Outside of that, there isn't much value for me.

Cons

The Direqt messaging is a dealbreaker. Please let parents opt out of it or remove it as right now it makes it practically impossible to share school updates with other caregivers and family members. I also can't forward those messages to email using the setup at my kids' school and there's no real way to manage or prioritize what comes through. Teachers have already gotten tired of me having to request that the communications be re-sent to my email address, just so I can actually handle them. That's basically the only workaround available to push for a change and I really don't like this whole setup. I'm actively looking to switch schools because of it.

Pros

As an admin-focused tool, it works really well. It handles administration content efficiently and it genuinely seems like a good CMS for managing school information.

Cons

It doesn't function like a full Learning Management System. For example Moodle can automatically manage student results from quizzes or other online activities using SCORM and other built-in tools but it doesn't cover that side. With expectations now, teachers want more intelligent school software that combines admin management with actual LMS-style learning and tracking.

Pros

It's already used in a lot of schools so when you're doing relief or substitute teaching, you're likely to run into it again and again. Once you get your head around how it works, it ends up being familiar pretty quickly across different workplaces. There's also a lot it can handle so it feels genuinely comprehensive for school administration and day to day tasks.

Cons

Because it's packed with features, it can feel a bit overwhelming at first. Occasionally it gives the impression that extra modules were added to cover more ground and that can make the interface feel cluttered. Still, once you're past the initial learning curve, it's actually a fantastic tool overall.

Pros

On paper, it's supposed to let me check my child's grades from my phone and it also moves things online so it can cut down on paper something I'm totally onboard with but only if the login actually works.

Cons

The login process has been a nightmare. The password reset doesn't work through email and I was told to contact the school which verified the username and password we should be using. Still, it won't log in on my end. It's been like banging my head against a brick wall because I can't view school updates, letters, or my son's reports until the office is open again on Jan 10th or later. A basic password reset email should really solve this.

Pros

Really happy with how the kids' results show up in real time and it keeps me in the loop about how they're doing at school. I can also view their results on graphs that compare them across the whole year level and show where they're sitting within that level.

Cons

Honestly there isn't much I dislike. It would be nice if the developers made the front page and menu feel a bit more professional and visually appealing.
