Top Rated BigSIS Alternatives
Easy for Waldorf teachers to use for writing reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike that many fields of data cannot be exported. Many teachers (and admin) do not have time to look up information "one student at a time." They ask for lists and simple reports. Some of the reports we need cannot be done in BigSis, so we need to work around that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integration between 'modules' is great and provides most of the features we need. In addition, being a small company, BigSIS really does provide great customer service. They are friendly, fast to respond, and help you get the question or problem resolved quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Being a small company can also mean that their new products or major product improvements can be difficult to release on time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BigSIS worked with us up front to develop a system that worked for us. We aren't your standard school, we work directly with districts within our state to ensure students receive an education tailored to their needs. Because of the way our school runs, we needed customization that BigSIS implemented before we were up and running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes the out of the box features don't mesh with our School, but we realize that is because we have a different business model than 99% of our sister schools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The customer service is exceptional - I've never come across better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are a few features we'd like to see added, and a few pieces of logic in the system that make sense from a development standpoint, but are confusing from a user standpoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
BigSIS is clear, user-friendly, and critical to our work at an independent high school. The customer service is outstanding: reliable, responsive, and knowledgeable. BigSIS has integrated the work I do as registrar and office manager with the work of the others in the school's administration, and is fast becoming the "go-to" place for parent resources as well. BigSIS developers are open to suggestions and are constantly working to make this already wonderful database even more useful. We are so happy to be growing our database use alongside BigSIS!

I'm confident that anything I dislike is being taken into consideration by the good folks at BigSIS. BigSIS is very open to hearing suggestions for improvement and is as responsive to these as could possibly be expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It makes sense and is super easy to use. The ability to have many 'tabs' open at once in multiple areas of the application is really handy, so the user doesn't have to move out of and then back into different areas is a real time saver. Also, as admin, being able to actually 'be' a user and see exactly what they see is an great tool for assisting users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is some functionality that we could use that isn't implemented in BigSIS. For instance, printing reports for a class and having it come out on one page, not a new page for each student, would be good, as would being able to specify an advisor for a program/grade and have them see only that grade (even if the course is covers multiple programs/grades. We would also like to print a calendar of events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
easy to understand once you get how it all works together. The importing of our information at the beginning was relatively easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some functions are clumsy & take time. Attendance could be done using a form similar to the teacher’s monthly attendance sheet and it would save the attendance people a lot of time. Parents are asking us for a phone app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
BigSIS's student information system is very well conceived, is always being improved, and provides tremendous value. In particular, their leadership and development teams are simply first rate, and provide us great confidence that any issues will be swiftly and appropriately resolved.
