Tech Administrator Used the software for: ### "Alma is the best of the best" April 1, 2016 5.0 Alma has changed the way our entire school runs and operates. Our school was originally using a software called School Dynamics which lacked a lot of features and tools that we needed. We decided to make a switch to Alma, and boy was that a good idea! Alma has so many features to allow full communication between parents, students, and teachers. Our staff and parents love it! The is no other online software that comes close to the amount of features, support, and usability. Review Source Response from Alma Technologies November 9, 2016 Hi Micah, So glad to hear that Alma was a game changer for your school! We appreciate your support too and look forward to many years of working together! Best, Kelly DS Dale S. Used the software for: ### "ALMA IS TEACHER FRIENDLY WITH ONE EXCEPTION" March 31, 2016 4.0 ALMA IS A GOOD SYSTEM. THE PRIMARY ADVANTAGES ARE THAT IT IS EASY TO ENTER AND SEE ASSIGNMENTS. THE MAIN PROBLEM IS THE WEIGHT GIVEN FOR A PARTICULAR ASSIGNMENT THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM A TEACHER'S SETTING. FOR EXAMPLE, AN ASSESSMENT FOR 100 POINTS CARRIES A HEAVIER WEIGHT (%) THAN AN ASSESSMENT FOR 20 POINTS. ALL ASSESSMENTS ARE WEIGHTED IN OUR SETTINGS AND SHOULD BE A CONSTANT. ALMA CHANGED THIS FOR SOME REASON AND IT HAS PROVEN TO BE QUITE PROBLEMATIC FOR ME. Review Source Response from Alma Technologies November 18, 2016 Hi Dale, Thank you so much for taking the time to send in your feedback! I will be happy to pass this feedback along to the team for their consideration. Best, Kelly MM Melinda M. Academic Coordinator Used the software for: ### "Our First Year with Alma" March 10, 2016 4.0 Overall, the program is great. The teachers, administrators, students, and parents find the access great. The support team has been reliable and very helpful. The only issues that we have typically deal with the unique settings in our school, and sometimes, it is difficult to tailor the program to fit all of our needs. Review Source Response from Alma Technologies March 24, 2016 We are so happy your school community finds Alma a beneficial tool! We try to be as flexible as we can but we do understand that sometimes there are certain settings we cannot accommodate. With that being said, we make improvements every week so keep letting us know how we can better meet your needs! JW James W. Co-founder Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Awesome program - looks and feels like 2017 (it is 2017 currently), kids and faculty love it. " August 10, 2017 5.0 Pros It's easy to use, has a modern feel, and doesn't feel clunky. They are pretty spot on with their choice of features and UX. Easy to set up and use. Review Source Response from Alma Technologies January 8, 2018 Hi James, Thank you so much for your kind review! We work really hard to make Alma the best SIS/LMS out there. It's only going to get better! Thanks! The Alma Team EB Eeta B. School Administrator Used the software for: ### "User Friendly Program with Great Customer Service" April 13, 2015 5.0 We moved over to Alma to make life simpler and more user-friendly primarily for our teachers and parents and we've been very happy. While we are still waiting for certain features to be developed as the company is new, the reason we like Alma is because they listen. When something goes wrong (and come on, no matter what you use, something is going to go wrong at some point) we have found them to be unbelievably responsive and completely open to suggestions. They have listened to what we need on numerous occasions and we know that when they say they're working on something, they really are. Review Source CW Clavenda W. Used the software for: ### "My experience wih Alma has been very good. It is easy to use and a very helpful tool to use. " March 17, 2016 4.0 Pros Alma is like a one stop. You can enter grades, add new students etc Cons sometimes it takes a longer in putting in the standards, because whats in Alma is a bit different than the standards we use. Review Source Response from Alma Technologies March 28, 2016 Hi Clavenda, Thank you for the feedback! We will be making improvements to our standards based grading over the summer time. I think next year you will find it less time-consuming to enter standards. Also, we can always import custom standards for you as well! Reach out to your Customer Engagement Specialist to learn more. Thanks, Elizabeth AP Alli P. Used the software for: ### "Intuitive! " March 30, 2016 5.0 Alma is an easy to use and intuitive platform. Love how grades, resources, videos, links, etc. can all be easily accessed from one location. It can be cumbersome at times for students trying to access comments. I would also love a way to attach documents when sending out a group message from Alma. Looking forward to a mobile format that works better with the iPhone as well. Review Source Response from Alma Technologies November 9, 2016 Hi Alli, We are so happy you find Alma easy to use! We hear you in regards to attaching documents to messages and for a mobile app. These are both things we have on our roadmap! Thanks, Elizabeth MM Matt M. President Used the software for: ### "Really happy with the whole Alma experience" August 16, 2014 5.0 Pro: great staff; very responsive customer service and training. Pro: the system is very easy to use, and very robust - it has a lot of features Pro: far less expensive than the other programs we investigated Pro: they did our data entry for $2 per record Con: none Overall impression: we are so happy to be rid of our old system and have something user-friendly and robust. Review Source Response from Alma Technologies August 17, 2014 Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback, Matt! We're happy to hear you're pleased with Alma, and look forward to continuing to support you and your school in the future. PR Patsy R. Principal Used the software for: ### "Great first year!" June 10, 2015 5.0 We had previously used Gradelink and we're happy with it until the price went up drastically. We searched for an alternative and found Alma and are so glad. The platform is much more user friendly and required no lengthy training sessions. Customer support was always readily available and very helpful. We won't be looking anywhere else for our SIS. Review Source Response from Alma Technologies June 11, 2015 Hi Patsy, Thank you so much for the kind words! It has been a pleasure working with New Hope Christian Academy this year and we are looking forward to a continued successful partnership for many more years to come :) DB Donna B. Founder Used the software for: ### "We have been with them since the start and are very pleased with how the system has developed." March 21, 2016 5.0 We investigated many different learning management systems. We were sold on the ease and customer service with ALMA. They have been easy to work with and have helped us to customize a system that works for us. Thank you ALMA for helping us to create a unique approach to tracking and implementing a learning management system. Review Source Response from Alma Technologies March 30, 2016 Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback, Donna! We try to make the platform as flexible as possible so we can accommodate most types of schools. It is because of users like you that help us to make the best product possible. BM Billie M. 1st and 2nd grade teacher Used the software for: ### "Easy Peasy" April 1, 2016 5.0 I have been teaching for 25 years and I can say Alma makes report cards quick and easy. I just record my test scores every week and when the grading period comes around Alma takes care of everything. It is easy to make comments and the finished product is professional looking. Even a person of my age - who isn't terribly computer savvy can use Alma and save time. Review Source Response from Alma Technologies November 9, 2016 Hi Billie, We love to hear this! We understand how important and limited teachers time is, so we really try to make processes as quick as possible. Have a great day! Elizabeth MC McKinlee C. Used the software for: ### "Easy to use system - always improving" March 11, 2016 5.0 I have been using the ALMA system for two years and have found it very easy to operate. It has been a great tool for me and has helped my students to stay on top of homework assignments. It has also helped to facilitate my communication with parents. ALMA takes feedback well and has made good improvements at the request of the users . Review Source Response from Alma Technologies March 24, 2016 Thank you so much for the kind words! We work really hard to try to make the day to day tasks teachers do easier and more efficient. I am so happy to hear your students and parents are benefiting from Alma too! CT Christina T. Teaching Principal Used the software for: ### "ALMA - easy to use, steadily improving" March 30, 2016 4.0 We went looking for a standards-based/proficiency gradebook and found ALMA, an all-in-one school information system. We have used ALMA for 3 years now and it continues to improve. ALMA is a highly flexible system who quick customer service response. Our first digital report cards were a great success! Review Source Response from Alma Technologies April 5, 2016 Christina, you will always have a special place in our hearts :) You have been with us since day one and we love watching Howard grow and being there to support you. We look forward to many more successful years together! Thanks! Elizabeth BL Brent L. Executive Assistant Used the software for: ### "Fantastic Company" March 18, 2015 5.0 Alma has gone above and beyond in their customer service. We've been with them for about seven months now, and I'm still so very impressed with how much they're there for us--every time. They are absolutely fantastic! Quick, reliable, professional, and very proficient at what they do. The interface took some time for the teachers to learn and get used to, which is totally normal and expected. But it's very user-friendly, so it didn't take long! It's exponentially better than the system we used to use. Five stars across the board for sure. Review Source BD Batsheva D. Teacher Used the software for: ### "Alma Review" March 21, 2016 4.0 I love Alma! I started a new job that uses Alma for everything, and I was able to learn the program quickly due to its ease of use. and the best part about them is their chat feature. When you ask a question, a real person actually writes back a real, helpful answer! Every comment or concern was met with a conducive and applicable answer. Review Source Response from Alma Technologies March 30, 2016 Hi Batsheva, we love talking to our customers so the support feature is as helpful to us as it is to you! It is wonderful to hear that you adapted to Alma quickly. That is what we strive for! BP Ben P. Principal Used the software for: ### "Huge time saver" March 31, 2016 5.0 Alma has been exactly what we needed, saving our teachers and staff tremendous time with their easy to use web interface. I really like how we can customize the look of our report cards--giving us a more professional image. They are constantly improving their product and listen and respond to recommendations for changes. Our teachers have loved the product and are happy with the change. Review Source Response from Alma Technologies November 10, 2016 Hi Ben, Thank you for taking the time to send in such thoughtful feedback. We are so very happy to hear that you feel this way! Best, Kelly KM Kyle M. Network Admin / Teacher Used the software for: ### "We switched from another school information system to Alma this school year and we think it is great" March 30, 2016 5.0 The Alma GUI is so simple to use that the parents, teachers, and students actually use it willingly. Our former SIS system was dependent upon drill down features which the users became lost in and refused to use it. If you can use a cell phone, then you can use ALMA. Its that simple. Review Source Response from Alma Technologies November 9, 2016 Hi Kyle, Thank you so much for the kind words! We try with every new feature we design to keep things as simple and intuitive as possible. We have loved and continue to love working with Oakland! You have a great team there :) Best, Elizabeth TG Taccara G. Principal Used the software for: ### "Alma has been a great tool for our school. Our teachers and parent love it." June 24, 2015 5.0 One great aspect of Alma is the ease of use of the software. We had a training session and could pretty much figure everything out from there. When we had a question about something, Alma personnel were great with assisting us. There have been features we desired the software to have and after mentioning those to Alma they have been great about adding those features or working towards the additions. Review Source Response from Alma Technologies March 22, 2016 Thanks for the feedback Taccara! We have really enjoyed growing with Candlelight Christian and we appreciate the kind words. KC Kevin C. Science Teacher Used the software for: ### "Best Class Record Keeper Yet " March 30, 2016 5.0 I have used several computer gradebooks and this is the best yet. Our team uses standards based grading and Alma support has been very helpful in meeting all of our requests to customize the system. Review Source Response from Alma Technologies November 18, 2016 Hi Kevin, Thank you so much for your positive words!

Thanks, Elizabeth AH Adam H. Used the software for: ### "Nice Product some enhancements needed" June 11, 2015 4.0 Overall, we are very happy with Alma. We have felt that some enhancements are needed, but that may simply be, because we are a new school and may just be specific to us. You should definitely consider trying Alma. Review Source Response from Alma Technologies June 11, 2015 Hi Adam, Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. We love to hear from our customers! Your customer engagement specialist will get in touch with you to see which enhancements you are looking for.

Best, Kelly DT Derek T. Headmaster Used the software for: ### "Customer engagement team and integrative features are amazing" November 10, 2015 4.0 We are so happy we made the switch to Alma. Very responsive and supportive. Features continue to evolve for the better, based in large part on a willingness to listen to educator input. Very user-friendly for parents and teachers.
