Most of the time it's fantastic. I can check the report and study progress not only for this year, but many years ago. And I can see students' progress for other subjects also, it helps me to have an overall vision and understanding to the student's study condition.
Pros
One site for all functions
On alma teachers can take attendance, record study progress, make report card, contact parents and students easily through email automatically, report incident. Parents and students can check the attendance, study progress and contact teacher as well.
Cons
Sometimes it's out of service. It happened many times already. Showed a Bad Gateway.
Response from Alma Technologies
We are so happy to hear your teachers, parents and students love using Alma! In regards to the Bad Gateway error, we are surprised and sorry to hear you had this issue. Being able to access Alma when you need it is of the utmost importance to our team! Alma has an above 99% uptime standard. We have not had ANY unplanned extended downtime in several years. Typically, when a Bad Gateway error is being seen by a school it is a local network error and not a company wide issue. If you ever see that again, please let our support team know right away so they can help triage the issue!

Used for an elementary, has great services, could be improved.

Pros
I LOVE the customer service. They are always willing to work with us and help us adapt the program to what we need. I love the many different reporting features and how they each have a unique description that helps me find exactly what I need. I also like that I can star the reports I frequently use. I like that I am able to easily fill in grades in the "gradebook" tab, as well as having the opportunity to quickly report final grades at the end of the term. I am also happy with the ease in resetting a password for a user who has forgotten theirs as well as the quick ability to change a username. I appreciate that many users can have access to the same information (meaning a student and both of their parents can have their own accounts but access the same information on their child). I think overall I am mostly impressed with Alma's support team, how quickly and professionally they respond, how they will not let me leave the conversation until they are satisfied that all of my questions have been answered and my concerns resolved, and I love that they are constantly updating, making the website better, and then sending out an email with all of the updates and detailed instructions on how to utilize them.
Cons
I feel the website could be slightly more user friendly. There are often times it takes longer than I would like to access the information that I need (a lot of clicking through redundant tabs and not a lot of short cuts). I also wish it was easier for parents to understand the website. I don't like that there is no easy way for a parent to access a student's missing work, instead having to look through each class and assignment to see what has and has not been turned in. I also wish there was a way for us, as administrators and teachers, to see exactly what the parents see. It is hard to give advice and support to a parent when their screen looks different from mine; and I often don't know if they can see everything that I can, like all of the notes and assignment descriptions and what not. Otherwise, I am mostly happy with Alma.

Alma is a superb SIS that serves our school better than any previous platform. As a small, innovative school, we have been able to customize the platform to fit our needs–from proficiency grading and report cards to internal reports and external messaging. The customer service is always tremendously responsive and helpful. Ten out of ten, would recommend.
Pros
Innovative and intuitive SIS that serves all stakeholders of our school well–from students and families to teachers and administrators.
Cons
Similar to other SIS platforms, the admin approval process for progress reports and report cards can be time consuming.
