Ease of use for student accountability & maintaining logs for retrieving student leave. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Experienced a few glitches at the outset, but these were all corrected quickly and we've not experienced any for the last couple years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Boardingware has allowed our school to go away from some of the paper usage for a typical week, while increasing communication between our dorm staff and day staff. Any administrator, teacher, or dorm staff can find out where a student is quickly, or know if they are not in the right place. It allows the school to keep a record of every time a student is out due to illness, field trip, sporting event, or off campus function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only negative I have truly encountered is in the check out system. Any sign outs must be done over 15-20 prior to sign out or the system signs out the student automatically. Example, leaving at 3:00, if you enter the data after 2:40, they will be signed out automatically. before 2:40, the entry awaits the proper procedure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Boardingware is immediate. Once we confirm information in one part - it becomes immediately available to all users so we know what’s going on in real time.

2. Boardingware is user-friendly. Our school staff and students all understand how to use the software, and it is available on multiple platforms for convenience.

3. Boardingware is customizable. Any school can adjust the categories and conditions for management of its students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s hard to say what I dislike because usually when there is a problem with the system, Boardingware’s staff is quick to respond and roll out new solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While there are some aspects I would still like to see improved, I find that Boardingware is very handy for keeping records for student location with our private school. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the aspects I would like to see improved is the ability to apply a filter to a live roll so that when one person creates a live roll for the while school, I can filter to the specific house or group that I am attending to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that I can use my phone to check where students are going at any time of the day. I also love that I can see their leave histories to check who they are going out with and where they frequently go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing I dislike the most is that when we have spotty wi-fi or data, it just stops working. Also there's been some issues with "Live Roll" where it would crash and I would lose the entire roll. In addition, I do not like the fact that there is no feature where students can put in a "Holiday Leave" that has multiple destinations and hosts for those destinations. Currently I have my students put in separate Holiday Leaves for each destination they go to which can be a hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Boardingware program is a great tool for keeping track of where our students are and where they are going. It is intuitive and easy to use. They are always work to improve the software in order to make the experience more user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took many of our students and faculty to get their heads around how to use Boardingware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The system, although a technical solution, puts student safety first. It allows for easy communication between students, home and school thus promoting a positive school culture. It also allows for efficient check in and headcount. This is particularly important in an emergency situation. The Boardingware team are also great at listening to both support and consider future improvements to the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That we did not think of this before 2017. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As the app has developed they have used our feedback to create additional capabilities that meet our growing needs. The team has been incredibly responsive with troubleshooting issues, even with a 12 hour time different between our locations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Shockingly, [read: sarcasm] this web-based platform is dependent on wifi connection. This is sometimes an issue as our connectivity on campus can be less than reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User friendly for all parties and increased accountability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Needs a better interface for large TV screens. The old web app leave board allows up to have around 40 students on the screen at once but could do with some refinements / updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite thing about Boardingware is how it appeals to visual learners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that the data for some groups has to be manually entered, as we rotate required dinner table groups and our Culinary Faculty Supervisor has to manually enter 200 names every 2-3 weeks. I also dislike how VASTLY different it looks for Apple products versus Android, making training documents VERY hard to create. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
