Edsby Reviews & Product Details

We really enjoy how user friendly Edsby is to use for our parents, students and staff. The overall design is very clean and it is it easy to find information quickly. We especially like the fact that Edsby offers a sync system with our SIS. This makes keep student data up to date very easy. There is also a robust development team at Edsby that is always working on new features to improve and expand the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our main complaint about Edsby is that once features are released, further development on them seems to stall. This leads to some features not being implemented as well as they could have been, and other features lacking in critical updates to make them better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Edsby is simply great. I hardly know where to start. From taking attendance, to attendance reports, to communication with parents, sharing marks, generating report cards, etc. Our teachers love it as a tool to communicate with the students and parents, to keep track of their marks and to do attendance. Our admin likes it to keep on tabs with all that's going on in the school. The office staff likes it for attendance, posts in the news river and generating report cards. Parent like it as a one-stop-know-everything tool: they can see the marks of their children, indicate that their children won't be at school for the day, plan absences for the future, read teacher updates and even message the teachers through Edsby.

We use Edsby every single school day and would not know what to do without it anymore! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are always some small crinkles that need to be ironed out, but the Edsby helpdesk staff is most helpful in resolving problems. It is now also possible to request features for future versions of Edsby. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Edsby has been an invaluable tool while we have been doing remote learning this year. It was our central spot where we kept all our information. Kids knew where to go and where to find what they needed. We also made use of groups where kids could chat and connect when they weren't at school together in-person. It has been really helpful! I have also liked how kids could answer other kids questions. I often found another student having answered a student's question. It was a great way to build a community of learners.

One of the challenges has been kids forgetting their passwords or not remembering to check Edsby. As long as they remember where to look for the information, it has worked wonderfully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I love about Edsby the most is the focus on the importance of building a platform that works best to engage student learning at the ground floor. Edsby works hard to create a system that makes it easy for teachers, parents, and students to fully immerse themselves in a learning journey and to track and build on each step from start to finish.

Sometimes the system glitches. But this is usually quickly rectified and usually comes from the team trying to update and evolve the current platform. Though it can be frustrating for staff, students and parents in the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The evidence of learning is a great tool to track student progress. The ability to capture student voice (audio or video) of a conversation that they are having with another student, or with yourself is fantastic. Being able to then grab observations made and recoded in Evidence and apply it to the report card with a click of a button just enhances the power of the Evidence of Learning feature.

As a teacher, not being able to see and understand how Edsby looks from the student view. It is difficult to assist students when as a teacher, I do not know what their view looks like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Edsby is easy to use and is a great place to communicate a teacher's needs. It is easy to implement, and you can roll plans and grade books from year to year. I use Edsby many times a day at work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very rarely, there are glitches, but Edsby support is very quick to troubleshoot and solve issues as they arise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Edsby has bolstered its ability for teachers to see student data at a glance. This includes student performance and attendance data. In addition the ability to create self marking quizzes, as well as the ability to stay organized to allow students to hand in assignments allows for the management and organization of student work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish that Edsby would allow for teachers to mark up documents what students hand in. Speeding up the feedback process for students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its the best platform for students. We don't need to provide Mailbox to the users. They can see all school activities on Edbsy. They can communicate with anyone in organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it gets really slow. In general support is great but when we need a timeline to resolve the problem, they don't have it. It takes some times to get the new release out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Edsby is a unique platform. Teachers can use the Grader to evaluate student work, and Edsby's Evidence of Learning is fantastic. Teachers and students can capture their work, reflect on it, attach expectations to it and build out a thorough portfolio of student evidence for authentic assessment.
