## Reviews

### "Significant shortcomings" — 2.0/5

> **Ohad** | *10 March 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's a CRM for schools. The basic functionality is there. REST APIs for data access.
> 
> **Cons**: Atrocious atrocious service. No response from the account manager or service dept for weeks, basic features broken, and no response to escalations. I don't think they care at all, as an organization.
> 
> Our school will be looking for an alternative as soon as we have capacity to reconsider.

-----

### "Complicated" — 2.0/5

> **Dinah** | *26 November 2024* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I'm not sure I like anything about it. It's not user friendly.
> 
> **Cons**: Functionality. Can't drag and drop items and documents, long winded, and complicated.
> 
> Not very good, it is a very long winded process to send something simple like an email.
