What do you like best about PowerSchool eSchoolPLUS?

Is mostly web based so anyone can use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerSchool eSchoolPLUS?

Not N-tier structured - to get better performance, or scale, need to add equipment - servers. Only works with IE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool eSchoolPLUS:

It is poorly designed - only two tiers, so it will not scale well unless you have tones of money for equipment. Was just purchased by PowerSchool - if they keep it I'll be surprised. They are saying it will be around for at least 7 years, but I can't see how that could possibly be cost effective long-term for the company. We've begun looking for an alternate solution ourselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PowerSchool eSchoolPLUS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Does do an ok job of handling the scheduling and grading. Interfacing with other systems is also ok - but we need to write custom scripts to do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
