Pros

It is now seamless and very useful. Our parents are very appreciative of the improved communication we now offer as well as the mobile app that lets them more easily track their child's progress.
It is very user friendly and affordable for small schools. Notable: Teacher Pages which have been very Covid Friendly, great report section and parent friendly app.
I particularly am grateful for the patience and knowledge of the customer care resps. No matter how simple or trivial my questions or issues may be, they are very gracious and helpful.

Pros

Overall I can see and understand the value and the importance of using a program like FACTS. It works, it’s easy, it is supposed to be very secure, and it something that works.
Since this software is so comprehensive it is great to be able to call the customer service number any time during the day. The customer service team is courteous, helpful and very knowledgeable.
I've worked at this school for twenty years & can say with great conviction "this is a great product. One of the many reasons I appreciate renweb is their support staff.

Cons

There are no features that are too hard to use. I was not here when this program was integrated.
Also, the statements for the parents can be confusing.
Since I'm beginning to learn a little more of the software, I can not make an accurate comment about what I dislike least about the software.

Cons

Families find it frustrating if they are not online a lot or don't pay bills online. Paper invoices often get lost in mail.
Running reports out of RenWeb is a pain, and you are extremely limited on what information you can filter in order to get the report that you need/want.
Despite all of the functions, the grading portion seems to be an afterthought. Entering assignments is cumbersome, and entering late work is excruciatingly painful.

Gradelink Admin/User Reflections

Reviewed 3 years ago

Customer Service is excellent and very friendly.

Pros

The software is easy to use and a good fit for smaller educational organizations but lacks some functionality and reporting of other SIS programs that I have used (FACTS and Blackbaud).

Cons

User interface could be changed, integration of sections, certain reporting features should be enhanced.

Vendor response

Thank you for your feedback, Meredith! We're always looking for more ways to help educators get more done in less time, so please let your support rep know what features you'd find useful.
