Our old SI system was clunky and slow. Sycamore Education revolutionized our daily workload and processes. Highly recommended for private schools.
Ease of use. Customer support. Frequent updates/upgrades. Meets all IS needs for our private school.
Graphics, as well as look & feel could use an update. Wish this product would integrate with our online curriculum.

Sycamore School has been a great tool for our school. It has everything we need without the expensive price tag. It can be laborious to navigate and use at times so training is really important when implementing this product.
It has many features and lots of options giving it great customization.
It can be hard to navigate and find what you need.
Thank you Stephen! We are happy to have you as part of our family! We are excited to address your navigation and data search concerns in our new 3.0 interface in the coming months!

There are very little pros, except that I easily reached a customer service rep when I needed help with an issue.
I did not like Sycamore as an LMS. I found its interface to be clunky, filled with unnecessary options, and difficult to navigate. For example, to this day, I still have no idea how to create an assignment so that a student can upload there work. Believe me, I tried to figure it out. Eventually I gave up and used another system. The grade book was another problematic feature. At the end of the semester, it does not show final grades computed with the final exam. You have to go into each individual student and look at there "grade report" to see the end computation. I do not recommend this system. There are much better LMS's available.
Dustin, You mentioned in the Pros section of your review that customer service was easy to reach. That's great, as we hear this often. A phone call or a Teacher Chat would have cleared these issues up quickly. You would have received instructions on how to use the dropbox for student assignments and also directed to the Help section where there are specific instructions. Regarding your issue with...

Overall, Sycamore School has been a very positive change for our school. The cost of the product initially drew us in this direction. Had we known the quality of the product and ease of use, we would have changed even sooner than we did. We are so glad we changed 3 years ago!
Our school was able to implement the Sycamore system without a lot of support. The software is laid out in a way that is intuitive and logical. Most questions that we asked ourselves were easily discovered by our own team. Whenever we had questions that we could not find (rare), the tech support quickly resolved the matter for us. The transition for us was much easier than we thought it could be. The Sycamore software has also been simple for our clients (both students and teachers) to navigate. We used the software as our mail tool during our spring of 2020 change to remote learning. Parents had little trouble navigating around Sycamore to find the instruction and information for remote learning. We never anticipated using it that way, but it did a good job for us.
Sycamore has a few idiosyncracies that one has to get used to. Some listings require the user to go back to the beginning of the list after a choice has been made. Little things that I am sure will be refined over time.
Thank you so much Don! We strive to be here for schools that need their data needs met at a reasonable cost. It's wonderful to see how your school has taken a dive to use our tools to make your transition to remote learning of 2020 more manageable. Thank you for giving a shout out to our wonderful support. They make such a difference for our Sycamore family.

We have had a great working relationship with Sycamore. They are always responsive and very knowledgeable in solving our problems. They are a great partner.
We really value the ease of use with Sycamore and the various needs that the system meets. The Sycamore team is always looking for ways to improve. They also are always looking for creative ways to manage the daily demands of running a school.
Overall we have been very satisfied with Sycamore and their team of developers. There is nothing that we like least about Sycamore.
Thank you so much for your review Kenny. We value your school and your input! We love to help schools out there simplify their system needs.
