Recenzje produktu: Classter

The most complete and functional platform I have ever used!

Komentarze: It has improved my organization and allows me to establish better relationships with the parents of the students, as they are involved in the training process of their children's school activities and the follow-up we have also been able to verify that the performance of the students has increased. It is a very robust tool, it has allowed us to establish more effective work methodologies and we are pleasantly satisfied with its functionality.

Zalety:

Classter is a web system that also has a mobile application (iOS and Android) very robust that allows the management of school computer systems with learning management, additionally allows progress reports, class registration, grade book, online payments, parent portal and monitoring of attendance, on the other hand is very easy to use, does not require a learning curve because it has a very friendly interface. One aspect to highlight is the parent portal, which allows us as teachers to increase communication with parents and student representatives, as well as allowing them to effectively follow up on the school activities that we carry out at the institution.

Wady:

I am very satisfied with its operation and efficiency, I have nothing negative to contribute, is an excellent tool.

Very Helpful School/Student Management System!

Komentarze: I use Classter every day and could not manage without it! It is good value and they also keep improving the product. We look forward to increased use of the functionality of Classter and seeing how it helps grow our enrolments.

Zalety:

Classter has a wide variety of functionality to help manage many aspects of higher education. It has helped us improve our admissions process. We have accurate data on hand for students and their enrolments, plus it handles billing. We are also able to manage feedback and student surveys. Their support team is fantastic and very responsive. They work to help you succeed. I've appreciated working with them over this past year.

Wady:

We had problems with how Classter interfaced with Moodle (our VLE). However, Classter was happy to develop better functionality to improve this. While we have run into some issues (as you will with any product), I have found their support team very helpful to work through and find solutions.

Classter helped us customize a system to manage our admission process

Zalety:

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.

Wady:

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.

Classter Experience

Komentarze: I realise that Classter works well for school administration tool and ease of use It is not viable when you weigh what you get, what you want VS what it costs.

Zalety:

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.

Wady:

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.

Education Management Systems - Classter

Komentarze: It is an excellent education management system and highly affordable for small to medium size businesses.

Zalety:

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

Wady:

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.

A wonderful program that has everything you need

Komentarze: Excellent and wonderful
Very happy using this system

Zalety:

The interfaces are easy to use Ease of modifying the system according to its own terminology Technical support is very great and fast

Wady:

It requires some flexibility in financial operations

Highly Recommend

Komentarze: Workload in Administration has been greatly reduced.
All your school data on your fingertips. It's simply awesome!

Zalety:

Classter accommodates children from Infant age (8 months) to High School. > Cheapest! > 1 Program for all age groups > Customisable > Functional > Some initial training required > Great customer service > Report Cards > Invoicing > Attendance > Levels/Streams > Parent/Student Portal > Teacher Portal > Parents can view statements online > Online Enrolment > Parents meeting section > Student ID cards > Communication The list goes on and on!

Wady:

Initially, as with every new software, takes some time to understand. However, it all pays off in the long run. Some training is recommended. Great customer service.

Versatile Student Software

Komentarze: I did the free version when we were looking for an SIS system for our vocational training school that is also a nonprofit organization with limited funds. This option was perfect for the needs we had at the time and allowed our educational nonprofit to organize our students with a cost efficient option during these COVID times since many SIS systems are way expensive.

Zalety:

There is a free option available for those who have basic needs, which is not available with any other student information systems I have found. The support is quick to answer questions and available when you need them with clear answers. If you go even further and pay for a subscription, it has a function for just about every need if you are willing to pay the increases.

Wady:

The free version is very limited and shows a very basic interface that can sometimes be confusing or take a bit of time to get the hang of. I hope for a more user friendly interface with a paid/upgraded version, although with practice it is able to be used by everyone regardless of their tech skills.

Classter has great communication and customer service!

Komentarze: Classter has been very responsive at all hours of the day. To the point that sometimes when you email you feel bad as you may get a response at very late hours of the day for them. Such a dedicated team at Classter.

Zalety:

I love that they teach you how to use the backend of the system to equip you with the tools to continue to make changes as you move toward a student information system that best suits your school.

Wady:

Some of the fields and sections that might be unnecessary cannot be removed, but rather stay and are just left unused, but that isn't make or break.

user experience

Zalety:

Marking configuration is amazing , rich reports , the system is highly configurable and can adapt multiple educational systems. Billing management.

Wady:

Library management online features are limited. Transportation management : bus tracking using mobile app of driver or supervisor is missing

First Impressions of Classter

Komentarze: There have been some hiccups with the learnig process so far, but overall it has been a good experience. Our institutaional needs are very specific, so it is possible that some features are not well suited to our specific needs, and that is not a flaw of Classter as a product.

Zalety:

I really like how customizable Classter seems to be. I like that it is possible to have changes made that fit certain institutional needs. I like that entering attendance is very straightforward for teachers, and the grade calculations seem to work well. I like that teachers can link documents to their sessions and assesments, such as lesson plans or materials.

Wady:

1. File size limitations: For example: entering student ID photos is difficult and time consuming due to the file size restriction. 2. Usability: It is difficult to understand the language of the platform at times. The distinction between Courses, Classes, and Sessions has been confusing for teachers and admin. 3. Creating Sessions: The process to create sessions is arduous. If a class is changed, or if a teacher joins the team, it is not simple to create all their sessions for them. There should be a way to easily add a "co-teacher" when you are mass-importing sessions. 4. Enrolling Students in their classes/courses: 4.1: Sometimes information does not save the first time. If I change the course status and the registration date and press save, the course status will be saved, but the registration date will NOT be saved. I will have to repest this process until I get the desired result. 4.2: When I attempt to make a change to the course status, I am sometimes unable to do so because of information on the "services" section. These 2 things should not affect one another, for the purposes of our institution.

First steps

Komentarze: Once one got into the functioning of the different implemented modules it is a great help in the administration and sharing of different information.

Zalety:

It helps do digitalize many administrative tasks, that up till the implementation of Classter were done on paper. Like this we have a better overview of information needed.

Wady:

Sometimes it is difficult to implement new modules as there a quite a lot of settings to do and consider.

Worth investing time to learn

Komentarze: I perservered with the software because it offered nearly all the functions I was seeking. I gave up on it once and looked at other products and although some were easier to work with, they lacked features. I gave it another go and decided to stick with it. My level of IT competence is modest. I designed computer based training programs and built a network for running simulation exercises for training emergency services personnel. I taught IT in secondary schools in the UK, 11-18yr groups. I think a better level of competence than what I have is required to effectively manage the implementation of this software in an organisation. Without that level of competency I think training from Classter is essential which greatly increases the cost. In summary, promising, but difficult to deploy.

Zalety:

Ability to integrate with Microsoft 365 and Moodle. The range of functions.

Wady:

It is necessary to devote a lot of time to learning the product. Customizing terminology is not easy to and the changes you make are not always global, which causes confusion. Too many steps to reveal lists especially users lists. I would prefer sorting commands. When buying any software that Is aimed at businesses that although in the same industry have different requirements broadly connected, the ability of the customer to customize is essential. I would liked to have seen a far better and clearer customization panel. I don’t like the customisation tools in Classter.

Review

Zalety:

I like that there are many features and an excellent support team

Wady:

I think that in some cases the ease of use could be better

We are using this software as the main ERP/CRM of a middle-sized K-12 private school in Athens.

Zalety:

The software acts as a frame of reference in all aspects of our school's operation: grades, tuition fees, communication with parents and alumni etc. This integration boosted our own business efficiency.

Wady:

Since we have been using Classter since 2011, we have consulted the developers in all evolutionary stages of the software. Many of the aspects stemmed from our organization's needs and became standard features. Therefore, the software is absolutely compliant to our needs and I can't find anything I don't like.

Great Database!

Zalety:

- Easy to use - Customizable design - Fast

Wady:

- For student information, it has fields for student visa and study permit information, but it is missing fields for other types of permits and visas, and there is no where to input if a student has an eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) or permanent residency.

Easy to use and functional

Komentarze: I was skeptical at first and rather do things manually, but after 2 years i find it very easy to navigate.

Zalety:

I find it easy to use. Customer support helps in showing me how to use the tools to my advantage

Zalety:

Is a complete school managment and administration software, including tools for e-learning and every department of a company.

Theological School of th eChurch of Cyprus

Komentarze: Our overall experience is very good especially because we used to work with other programs that were very difficult to work with and maintain.

Zalety:

The customer service is very good and always quick to response. The system is very configurable. The Classter team comes up with ideas to make the system work according to our needs.

Wady:

I have been working with Classter since October and I didn't find cons until now.

Classter review

Zalety:

The most impactful features of Classter are the paperless admission process, financial management, Mobile App, online academic surveys, and quizzes. The multiple third-party integrations are very useful and make the implementation process very easy and secure.

Wady:

I think that the developers can improve the import process.

As this is the second year of use we hope that it will help us to resolve many of our problems

Komentarze: Good organisation of all the administrative job, informations quickly and on real time communicated to parents, secratry jiob approved and easier

Zalety:

I like most that it gives you the possibility of a feedback even for years before, Tthat it regroups all the informations needed for the students, and that will help our school to improove quicker. Possibility of a real time contact with the parents.

Wady:

Overall, it is a great software to use. If it's one thing to fix, I would say the user experience side (design).
