Admin and teachers can easily manage their case loads and access important information. Customer support is easy and convenient on the homepage at all times, and someone is always incredibly prompt in returning messages. Those of us in the office love the ability to securely manage the kids information easily in the system and navigate details we have not had the ability to in previous SIS program. > > **Cons**: It was a bit of an adjustment not having a way to "call" parents with alerts, but our families have been able to get used to text and emails only. However, if phone calls became available in the future we would love it. > > Overall, switching over to ALMA SIS was the best thing that we did at our school. We moved previously from PowerSchool to TeacherEase and then to ALMA, which has far exceeded our expectations in an SIS system. It is incredibly easy to use, manage, and keep up with. Customer service is one of the best I have ever experienced, and overall our staff and families love the change. Personally, the connection with our State reporting system and how easy it made it was the winning factor for me. ----- ### "Alma is the best" — 5.0/5 > **Diana** | *9 April 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Assignments and grading and reporting also the part of attendance it is organized well .. and it is easy to hop in different classes without any problem > > **Cons**: Sometimes if you forget to save . The documents disappear so i will start to rewrite what i had written before. > > I am enjoying using alma in many ways . Assessment and grading . Writing student report and also attendance . ----- ### "Very affordable and user friendly -- worked GREAT for our 8-12 school" — 5.0/5 > **Bly** | *9 September 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We switched to Alma from Blackbaud and it was like night and day for our faculty and families. As a very small school with limited in-house tech staff, Alma was almost completely self explanatory. Between the chat and videos, almost all questions were answered. The Wednesday sessions online were also great. Once we did need major assistance to correct a major error in initial set up (we chose a 7 day week and not a 5 day week). The folks under the hood took care of the problem and got us back on track without losing any of our data. For the price, Alma provided every features we had needed and used in Blackbaud. > > **Cons**: The Bell Schedule concept should be reviewed VERY carefully before you get started to avoid problems. Our schedule was in flux when we started which added to our challenges. Once we got it set up properly it worked perfectly even with our non-standard schedules. > > Ease of use. Great interface. Our faculty are not computer savvy and they were able to hit the ground running and help each other out as needed. Only occasionally did I need to intervene to answer questions or get someone on track (ie. weighting of their grades). ----- ### "Happy Customer" — 5.0/5 > **Megan** | *25 July 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The SIS ALMA is user friendly for the administrator, student, teacher, and parent. When I, an ALMA Administrator, need assistance their customer support is easy to access and always can help within moments. When I, as a teacher, use it - I know my grades are secure and can easily be accessed by students and parents to keep up to date with what their child is achieving. I like many of the features including leaving notes, adding calendar events, sending whole class messages or something on the bulletin board feature. We are lucky to utilize this SIS in our district. > > **Cons**: There is nothing that comes to mind as a con for ALMA. Of all the SIS systems I have utilized, this is my preferred system. > > I have been using ALMA for 8 years now and it has never let me down. There is not a feature that I need that is not available. ----- ### "Alma SIS Review" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *23 July 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have used Alma SIS for years, in two different school districts. One of the best qualities of Alma SIS is its ease of use. My teachers love how easy it is to navigate for attendance, grades, etc. Since Alma is so easy to use, just a few clicks, and attendance is done. Also, especially with the integration and sync with Google Classroom, teachers spend little time entering grades. This provides more time to attend to all the other tasks that teachers have on their plates every day. Students and parents also love Alma because of how easy it is to navigate. > > **Cons**: Honestly, nothing. Out of all of the student information systems I have used, both as a parent and an educator, none have come close to the experience I have had with Alma. > > Due to the positive culture at Alma and their mindset of hiring educators to work for them, they provide an excellent SIS and a top-notch customer experience. Working with them has been great\! I hope I never have to use another SIS for the rest of my career. ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/133283/alma?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/133283/alma) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
