Director of Enrollment, Registrar Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "FACTS SIS Great Customer Service" February 12, 2026 4.0 FACTS has been great for our school to keep everything all in one place. Customer service is excellent. Pros Customer service and support are great! Anytime I have a question they are quick to answer. I like that FACTS is all-inclusive with everything in one place. Cons There are sometimes bugs that need to be worked out with users getting error messages. Several updates/changes which is a good thing but can also be a new learning curve. Review Source RP Raegan P. Graphic Designer for the Christian High School Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Communication Tools" February 27, 2026 5.0 Overall I am a big fan of FACTS. It is super manageable and user friendly. The information is centralized and secure. Pros I love how easy it is to send out communication to families, staff, students and parents. I also love the student information management system and how user friendly it is. The platform really helps me easily provide information in an effective and efficient way. Cons I do not love that I get a ton of emails after sending out a newsletter that they were not delivered because someone was out of town or out of office. It did not always do that, but in the last year or so it has become a new thing. Review Source ON Olivia N. Admissions Director Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Facts Feedback" February 12, 2026 5.0 Great! I have had a great experience with FACTS and the \[sensitive content hidden\] Facts team when I have any issues! Pros Easy to use, value for money in all parts, user friendly, quick responses, course management is easy to use, the bugs and issues get fixed fast. Cons Having no access to help parents with their login information is hard. We used to be able to but after the 2 step authentication we not longer can.

Pros I could see my grades and my missing assignments and projects,s and talk to my teacher about it and see what I can do Cons It was hard to log in, and there was nothing to do about it but ask the tech guy to change your password Switched from [Sycamore School](https://www.capterra.com/p/75048/Sycamore-Education/) Last year, on September 15, I did not like it Review Source KP Kelly P. Director of Admissions Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "FACTS is helpful" November 18, 2025 5.0 Overall, I love FACTS and feel like they are constantly improving and meeting a broader set of needs. I love the support and helpful content for admissions. Pros I love the customer support and ease of use. I appreciate that FACTS is always looking for ways to improve and become more efficient. I love the helpful webinars that are often available. Cons I do not like the occasional bugs and issues with the admissions page. I wish that you could pull a report and directly email that report group. Review Source RM Rachel M. Administrative Assistant Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Customer Support" October 28, 2025 4.0 I have enjoyed working with FACTS, it is user friendly. The customer service is also great. The interface is also user friendly. Pros Customer support is amazing and there is always someone available to answer my questions. The interface is also user friendly. Cons What I like least is that the SIS and the Financial side are 2 different it is confusing for families. The Parent portal could also use some updating from an interface perspective. Review Source SS Simon S. Director of Technology Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great software - with some limitations though!" April 24, 2026 4.0 Pros Great software although it can be a bit buggy at times that can affect workflow. If it can be more consistent, that would be great. Cons The amount of times it has taken for us to have FACTS be usable for longer periods during the work week. Switched from [Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT](https://www.capterra.com/p/27468/Financial-Edge-NXT/) Cost as we are a small school and didn't need the extra bells and whistles. Review Source TH Todd H. Head of School Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Just the FACTS!" November 19, 2025 5.0 Overall, FACTS has given us everything we asked for - except the ability to schedule emails to go out. We can schedule text messages, but not emails???? Pros The content and learning throughout the process are second to none. Customer support, whether live or via a bot, is always helpful. Cons Response time (especially for my colleagues) seemed longer than it should. Especially since we are a new client, you would think FACTS would want to ensure we have what we need more quickly. Switched from [TeacherEase](https://www.capterra.com/p/246639/TeacherEase/) Needed more functionality, and FACTS met most of our needs. Review Source Elizabeth L. MOM Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "FACTS - great for paying schools" January 27, 2026 5.0 Overall I am very happy that I am able to just log onto my computer and pay my son's student loan debt. Pros Hi, I like that there is a system in place to be able to pay my sons student loans in an efficient manner. Cons It was not the easiest site to navigate at first. There are lots of options and as a delegate payer, it was confusing. Review Source DM Dan M. ddd Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Do not purchase this." September 6, 2025 1.0 Terrible. Staff hate it and anything who uses it for any length of time does not like it at all. Except maybe the business office. This is NOT a true SIS. Pros This system is trash. It is cheap, whatever funds you think you are saving is made up for with time lost. NOT a true SIS. Cons Grade communication to parents is terrible, coming from Skyward. Attendence reports do not work at all. No report for behavior exists. Detention tracking is terrible. This is definitely not made for High School Switched from [Skyward Student Management Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/2185/Skyward-School-Management/) We shoudl not have made the switch at all. We did bc of funds Review Source JK Justin K. English Teacher Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Clunky, Challenging SIS " May 15, 2025 2.0 My overall experience has been negative. It has grown on me, but they have just missed too many opportunities to make the system smooth. Instead, there are too many clicks necessary to complete basic tasks. Pros As a school, our lunch staff likes the ability to have lunch attendance recorded in the morning, but beyond that, there is very little that we have come to like about the system. Cons The dashboard for administrative assistants does not allow for easy attendance management. As a teacher, the Google Classroom integration is VERY clunky and hard to navigate. The fact that the database opens a new tab when you click on an option is very cumbersome and annoying. The overall setup is just poorly designed. Switched from [Infinite Campus SIS](https://www.capterra.com/p/188836/Infinite-Campus/) We left hoping to have an easier, more well designed SIS, but in the end, it really is just as clunky and poorly designed for teachers. IC is better from an administrative standpoint, but Facts and IC are both equally poorly designed for teachers. Review Source AS Abdel-Rahim S. Head of Early Years Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "FACTS SIS short review" March 27, 2025 5.0 FACTS has been a great tool and the staff has ben super helpful from the beginning of implementing FACTS Pros It is a great tool to have as much family/student information needed in one place. Cons The system does not communicate well within. For instance, if moving a student from one class to another on the admissions side, I still need to make that change on the class list, I wish the information was relayed automatically within the system Switched from [Formsite](https://www.capterra.com/p/118995/Formsite/) Did not meet our needs, we wanted a platform that could cover most or close to most of our needs Review Source KN Kent N. Director of Technology Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "FACTS Partnership" March 27, 2025 5.0 My overall experience has been great due to the support of \[sensitive content hidden\] and her team. They have always resolved our problems and issues in a timely manner. Pros Ease of use and the great support from the FACTS team Cons Yearly cost for API connections with third party vendors Alternatives considered [Blackbaud K-12 Solutions](https://www.capterra.com/p/196276/K-12-Schools/) Reason for choosing FACTS Price and ease of use for our teacher and administration Switched from [AdminPlus SIS](https://www.capterra.com/p/10010511/Administrator-s-Plus/) Better SIS system and more functionality Review Source Mariam R. Business Manager Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I have been using FACTS for 5 years for tuition processing. It is very easy to use." June 9, 2017 5.0 Ease of use for tuition processing. Pros It is very easy to navigate through parent accounts, reports and grant processing. Customer service line is very responsive as well as the dedicated account representative. Cons There is no recourse if a parent walks away without paying. You cannot go after the parent if they shut down their account or card. Review Source Heidi D. Preschool Director Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "RenWeb" December 5, 2018 4.0 Like all school management software, it has its benefits and challenges. Pros I like having an all in one system. We can pull reports, make labels, etc. I can communicate with all parents at once and create smaller classroom groups. Cons It is difficult to sometimes figure out how to pull a report with the things you are looking for. It takes a bit of trial and error to find what you're looking for and sometimes I give up. I also don't like that you can't customize an emergency sheet for each student to get the data on that sheet that I'm looking for and not just a template. Review Source SS Stacy S. Admin Assistant Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Much better than paper files...but still could use improvement for ease of use and reporting" April 13, 2018 4.0 Easy to track prospective families and send communications, keep general school calendar of activities, not to mention personnel file information and account tracking. There are many benefits to this software...it is not perfect but has many good things Pros Being able to run reports from the Desktop version. They copy into Excel VERY easily to manipulate the data. The new RenWeb1 version is not as easy to use. Cons The new RenWeb1 version that is supposed to be replacing the desktop version. The new version "looks" prettier, but the desktop version which is more database/dos and older looking...yet is easier to work with as an administrator Review Source LE Loren E. Registrar Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "this new user is impressed" February 10, 2017 5.0 My school is new to using FACTS, but we have found it to be an amazing product. It is simple to evaluate a large number of financial aid requests, all on an equal basis. And we aren't even using all of the advanced features yet. Review Source Response from Nelnet Business Solutions April 14, 2017 Loren, Thank you for taking the time to review our Grant & Aid Assessment service! We appreciate your feedback and hope the product continues to make life a little easier for you and your school. GP Gabriela P. Parent Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "So difficult to use, ugly interface, annoying to toggle between student and financial management" July 24, 2023 1.0 As an end user, I absolutely LOATHE FACTS. It is one of the worst user experiences I have ever had. Pros I do not like anything about FACTS except having access to lesson plans for our hybrid homeschool Cons I have been forced to use FACTS since the 20teens when my two older daughters were in school. At that time it was only for financial purposes, and I hated it then. It was cumbersome and difficult to use, and figuring out how the math was done was an exercise in frustration. Fast forward to the mid 20 twenties when my younger sons' school uses it for both class/assignment/grade management and financial management, and I know why I hated it then and still do. The class assignment section is ugly and outdated looking. And now with the financial 'upgrade', we have to login in AGAIN within the website to review the financial portion. I understand from the school that they also can't put in manual changes from their end, so basically everyone is at the mercy of unseen software administrators. Having to pay $25 to pay my balance in full is also really annoying, when I know the school is also paying for the 'privilege' of using the system and being paid. Last year they charged $.85 PER TRANSACTION! To draft money out of my account! So not only do they charge you, but you literally have no option but to give this company your sensitive financial information for them to store 'securely'. I guess? So far so good on that front, but who's to say how long that will last. The app costs as well, in addition to the school paying, and me paying for the privilege of paying tuition, we also have to pay for the app. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Art Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Renweb" January 15, 2020 4.0 My experience was not very positive as I had to continually help people try to figure out how to do something. Then they would come up with an update and that would all change. Pros I thought the pros of Renweb was that it was a starting point. It had lots of features that you could purchase and lots of options. Cons I think the software was not extremely user friendly. It was hard to navigate and they just needed a UX designer to go in and update thing. There were various versions that people were using that made things complicated. Also they make it so you can't pull your data out easily. Review Source VB Vance B. President Building Materials Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We implemented CD2 a little over 2 years ago and continue to have stellar support!" June 30, 2017 5.0 Easy to use and great reporting Pros Our sales team really likes the mobile app and utilize it on a daily basis. Because the mobile app allows them to access our Sales Academy Content Library, they can quickly search and find what they need during a call. They also use the app to capture and share best practices. The other thing that I have to mention is the support, it is the best support we have on any of the software we use. It has been a joy to work with our direct contact and the support team. They are always there and also have helped a lot in suggesting how to use the system to its full capacity. Review Source Jeffrey B. IT Technician Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great compliment with Renweb" March 5, 2019 5.0 Pros We at our school love the fact that Facts is now integrated with Renweb. This allows for us to keep all of our student information in one "basket". The cafeteria cash register has completely allowed us to go cashless, which has been wonderful! Cons Keeping up with all the charges and fees can be confusing for our families. We tend to get several calls weekly having to explain what the charges are for. Review Source aB alec B. Program Admin Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We are very satisfied with CD2 from both a product and customer service perspective. " July 5, 2017 5.0 Highly scalable and professional platform. Pros Cd2s Platform is very powerful, from a robust LCMS to Simulations and Social Collaboration, all in one system. We don't have to have 3 or 4 different systems to try and accomplish our training needs. Cons They are continually Innovating, so ongoing training is very important. The UI is ever changing, all good, but takes a bit of patience when logging in between long gaps in system use. Review Source Heather W. Photographer Photography Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Good Program For Education" November 19, 2020 5.0 Overall I can see and understand the value and the importance of using a program like FACTS. It works, it’s easy, it is supposed to be very secure, and it something that works. Pros So far from the experience I have had with FACTS, is that is it an excellent program for educators and education, tuition management and other forms of management! It’s very in innovative and sun synchronizes well well other programs. Cons The only thing that bother me in general about FACTS or any other platform within Google is the amount of information they have about you and you’re financial and educational histories. The AI is so advanced that they can pin point you to you’re very location at any given time. Same is true most other programming as well. Review Source bS billy S. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Off to a very slow start, but once we got CD2 staff engaged it was a very good experience. " July 13, 2017 4.0 Flexible. Easy to use and doesn't require and computer science degree to manage. Pros Its extraordinarily flexibile. We've been able to engineer whatever we wanted to achieve with this software. Cons In our case, it's much too costly for what we can generate in returns. Had we understood that the return would never reach the costs, we probably wouldn't have done the project. Review Source SD Shay D. Retail Selling Process Manager Consumer Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Absolutely incredible. The flexibility and "yes" attitude is what stands out so much." July 17, 2017 5.0 Pros Mobile abilities- hands down. The ability for push notifications eventually, as well as the functionality to watch courses through a smart phone or tablet. This has been a key seller when discussing other interested groups within Pella to utilize CD2. Cons Some of the emailing functionality from the website could be easier to use. Seems a bit clunky and difficult to navigate the operational side of the website, not so much the learning user.
