Educator Education Management ### "Frontline Absence Management Rated High " 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 September 17, 2024 Despite the very limited history available, Frontline is an efficient management system. Frontline provides excellent customer service though email and phone service. They are always responsive and kind. Pros Our school district uses Frontline for absence management. Overall, it is an user friendly absence management system. As an employee, I am able to schedule absences from one day to several months in advance. I can choose the date(s) the absence, indicate the reason for the absence, and add notes regarding the absence. Absences are maintained accurately and serve as documentation for both the employee and HR department. I periodically use Frontline to validate my absence report from my employer. Cons Although Frontline maintains a history of absences, you can only view the current year and past year. Recently, I was meeting with HR and wanted to print out a history of my excellent attendance but could only include data for less than two years. I believe five years of history should be availale to employees.

Guest Teachers can look up open shifts by phone or by browser view . Cons It can take a few steps to get to a screen you need from the homepage. I wish they would list all employees by name instead of having to search for them.

High School Teacher Education Management ### "Teacher Absences Managed by Frontline" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 February 17, 2021 Our school district has been using Frontline for years. When I need to be absent, I enter my absence on the Frontline website. It asks the user to classify the absence (illness, professional development, etc) and enter the dates/times a substitute is needed. I can attach my lesson plans within the posting, which gives my sub a chance to see what they will be teaching before they arrive at my school. I really love this feature, because it helps the day go more smoothly and really sets the sub up for success. Pros I think Frontline is especially easy to use. It only takes 4-5 minutes to request a sub, classify the absence, and attach lesson plans to the posting. I really like that I can enter the absence independently and not have to burden our secretary any more than necessary. Cons Well, I honestly can't think of anything I don't like about Frontline. Being away from school is never fun, but my mind is put at ease when I see the confirmation number for my absence.

Program Services Director Education Management ### "Typical HR/attendance/timesheet software" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 January 27, 2021 Frontline does what it is supposed to, and it has a wide variety of options to customize on the administration end. It is easy to use! Pros I use Frontline every day to clock in and out of my teaching job. It does the job it is supposed to! I like that it allows you to add reasons for why you are submitting an absence, especially when I need to differentiate between quarantining or normal absence. I also frequent the K12 job spot page that they host. Cons It does experience the occasional lag or full-on failure when our internet is down, but that's not Frontline's fault. Our school internet is not the best, so any software would react the same. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Streamlined user experience. Cons The cumbersome admin interface, haphazard single sign on upgrade, and manual integrations with other products.

GQ Giovanni Q. HR Coordinator Education Management ### "Has Potential" 2.0 Overall Rating 2.0 2.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 2.0 2.0 Likelihood to Recommend 1/10 August 3, 2020 Has potential and looks ideal with what is needed from an HR/School perspective but seems more concerned with the sales side than making the current product more efficient and productive Pros The software is easy to learn and understand. The customer service's initial response is quick and friendly Cons Not user friendly, usually can't make changes without it effecting/messing up other part of the program. Too many ways to do the same thing and one or the other may not always work, program is very glitchy with a lot of errors which has put the office in a position of not being able to do work Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Curriculum director Education Management ### "Great way to find teachers " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 2/10 June 12, 2020 This product was great at finding applicants for our postings, but due to the very expensive pricing we were not able to continue to use it. Pros You can sift through resumes of people that have not applied for your post to find potential candidates to interview. This product as well used by teachers looking for teaching positions. Cons This product is too expensive for small school districts. It really puts us at a disadvantage for finding teachers because so many people do use it.

Onboarding Specialist Education Management ### "Frontline Education-User Friendly!" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 April 3, 2020 Overall, I would say I enjoy my experiences working with Frontline. The chat and being able to speak to a representative asap is convenient. From the time I have had to contact support I was able to solve issues for our subs and they were able to get back into their account. Their employees are super helpful and very friendly in which I greatly appreciate! Pros What I like most about this software is that it is super easy to use and to view. It is very straight to the point and you are able to move quickly through the software pretty easily. Another benefit is that their Chat when needing help is super quick, yes during busy times there will be a little wait, but the reps that you chat with are super friendly and super helpful! That is probably one of the things I most like about Frontline Education! Cons What I dislike is that their are 2 platforms that make it confusing to our subs who are either are on the new or old platform. I think it having to either use a pin or a sub to create their own pin is a little confusing as at least on my end of things, I am unable to fully help them recover for know of what their created user name or password is.
