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.

Very adaptable to customer needs and requirement. All modules are very user friendly and ease to learn how to operate the systems after receiving the training

Training is conducted by an instructor after the development is complete. It is more advisable and recommended to have automated training manuals on all modules to allow user to learn and refer at any time as the needs might arise for self-training.

I would describe our admission process as quite complicated and complex and it is also very important we make sure that the admission process follows the guidelines and regulations set by the authority of vocational school. It has not been easy to find a way to manage our admission process in the best and efficient way but Classter helped us customize a system to manage this. This year it will be the second time we use Classter for admission. We are also very happy with the contact person we have at Classter. He is always supportive and quick to respond.

I wish there was a little bit more flexibility when it comes to features and functions in the student application to support us nurture leads ( sign ups) to submitted application. Even if we are happy with how Classter helped us customize the application based on our needs and wishes ( Classter has been very accommodating and responsive ) the processes of implementing changes/ improvements sometimes feel a bit long and complicated. However we have all the data we need in order to complete admission and that is most essential for us. I also want to point out since we have only worked with Classter for 1,5 year we have not had the time to explore all options and this is something we are continuing discussing and developing as we go of course.

The product has so many areas it can manage for an all-round solution for student management. The customer service has been excellent - quick response in answering our many questions. It will be so helpful to have all the information we need to manage our students and our school in one place, and having that easily accessible to those who need it.

We have had some glitches with our configuration, but the team were quick to find a solution. There are a few non-critical things that Classter cannot do, but we have found good work arounds. The team is always looking for ways to improve and tailor the product to the client's needs.
