What do you like best about ClassLink?

The ease of an in app browser (on mobile) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClassLink?

The trackers that ClassLink tries to enforce on your personal devices when you login anywhere besides your school devices. The chrom/ Microsoft edge extensions are there for students to be able to sign in once on any of the applications added to ClassLink. Looking deeper into them they do much more than just tracking logins, the extensions permissions on chrome are as follows: Ability to view history, ability to view public profiles, ability to access cookies. These are all an invasion of privacy and f there is no excuse to why they promote this on personal devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClassLink solving and how is that benefiting you?

ClassLink is a great SSO for students and teachers to use, the website and app booth provide enough resources to comfortably browse any applications the district has added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ClassLink?

ClassLink has simplified provisioning new users for all of our educational programs. The analytics and reporting provide insights to our administrators on what applications are being underutilized and what students are regularly accessing which applications to complete their work! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClassLink?

Honestly, the ClassLink support is very responsive and most of the issues we have had are already resolved. I think the two biggest improvements I would like to see would be: 1) the ability to add temporary teachers to classes through ClassLink without going through our SIS. And 2) the ability to create simple custom names for classes separate from what they are named in our SIS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ClassLink:

ClassLink has been really good for our district. I would recommend ClassLink as their support and customer care have been top-notch. Implementation does take a little bit of work and so I would recommend starting the implementation process during the summer so that everyone involved on the school's side can focus on the project. We started deployment during the school year and that slowed our implementation timetable significantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClassLink solving and how is that benefiting you?

Single Sign-On has been fantastic for our students! Syncing our applications with our SIS has simplified keeping up with enrollments and withdrawals. ClassLink also provides a QR card login option that has really helped our PK-2nd Grade and Special Ed teachers keep up with student login information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ClassLink?

I appreciate ClassLink's user LaunchPad (dashboard) because I can customize it with apps and resources I need on hand. May other SSOs do not allow you to customize your "dashboard" to your preferences. I can also edit my class names that are auto-generated from PowerSchool. I teach 19 separate classes and I need to organize my classes by homeroom name to keep them straight. I could not do this with other SSOs. Another really neat feature with this SSO is that you can see logins daily from each student and how often they are using the apps associated with my class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClassLink?

I do not have any suggestions for improvement at this time.

All of our requests at the district level have been honored. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ClassLink:

Classlink offers a SECURE option for students and teachers to log in once and have access to apps and resources used daily in the classroom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClassLink solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to see login information on my students, which is something I was not able to do with another SSO. Time is not wasted logging in to different programs or apps throughout the day, it's all on my LaunchPad, ready to go with a click! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ClassLink?

ClassLink is a Single Sign On (SSO) for students and staff. All links that utilize the same SSO can be added as "apps" docked within the homepage of your unique Classlink site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClassLink?

We have had several issues within our district using this platform with certain software. Because a sync is required, often students and staff cannot have immediate access to items that are needed (ie: when a new class starts or a new student arrives). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ClassLink:

Consider whether or not the other apps/software you are using are going to sync well and play nice with ClassLink. Consider whether you have a large enough IT department to assist with an item that EVERY user will need help with. Consider whether or not having a SSO for students is necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClassLink solving and how is that benefiting you?

ClassLink allows students to not have to remember a ton of different links or access things from multiple places. It also allows students to have all items stored in a hub. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ClassLink?

Classlink is a one stop shop for any important apps we need to conduct our school day from classroom resources to secretarial tasks to class maintenance. Having every app in one spot is a welcome time saver! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClassLink?

The only nitpick i see is that you occasionally have to resign into apps within classlink. I hope this is fixed so any app you log into through classlink stays open without the need to reinsert any usernames/passwords. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClassLink solving and how is that benefiting you?

I conduct all of my day to day classroom tasks through Classlink. I log student attendance, input grades, absences. I reach out to parents for daily student performance and conferences. I create and push out assignments for the students to complete online as well. Having all my resources within one app makes planning my weeks a lot easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
