Horrible. What used to take 15 minutes now take hours. It's as if the designers intentionally threw out every Lean Six Sigma practice and added steps to make it more difficult to use. The software creates a great deal of stress for the less tech savvy teachers and administrators in our school and the administrators that run the final grade reports. If I could find a similar district to mine that did not use Aeries I would change jobs to go there.

Pros

No Pros. This is the most clunky and illogical software I've ever used. Do NOT PURCHASE THIS SOFTWARE.

Cons

Every action takes more than the necessary number of clicks. As an example, if you forget to click a box of something like "citizenship" it will not allow the grades to upload but will also not tell you that you need to click that check box. So you're left wandering around to find the answer on your own.

My school has used Aeries for over 6 years. It is a really great tool to track student information and create gradebooks and classes. The setup is pretty user-friendly- it is easy to find what you need, from printing rosters to adding gradebook assignments. It would be nice if there was a way to communicate grades with parents directly. It is nice though that Aeries is able to pair with Google Classroom to make grading even easier.

Pros

Creating gradebooks is super easy, and finding student info is a breeze.

Cons

There needs to be functioning parent communication system

It is fine. I would say it does the job and has a lot of ability to be able to customize, but sometimes it is frustrating and slow.

Pros

It has become better recently with the ability to import scores a little easier. It still doesn't really know what category to import things coming from classroom but overall it is fine. We mostly use it just for attendance and grades.

Cons

The importing in classroom, the lagging that it sometimes does, and the length it takes to verify grading completed, as well as change categories are all a pain.

Hating myself for making this choice.

Pros

Not at all an improvement from my previous vendor. I HAD to move here because my previous vendor got rid of their product.

Cons

Our school previously used Illuminate. Their software looks amazing, they are constantly improving their functions. Their support was AMAZING. I LOVED calling their support because they were always so helpful. Some of their technicians recommended Aeries and it was a tough decision to make but ultimately that's where we've landed. Aeries support and training is TERRIBLE. Their support docs and videos are 2 hour long- it is not easy to parse through any of it to get quick answers to simple problems. They have a support number but all they do is create a ticket for you. There is no such thing as immediate support in Aeries no matter how pressing your problem is. More than one of their support people have told me that I don't understand what they are telling me when I implore for immediate help because in the end it's just not how they are set up so ultimately they don't care. Their systems also don't speak to each other. For example the enrollment system has a completely different log portal than their admin system. When families submit applications I then have to IMPORT those individuals into the Aeries admin system. So it's like having a 3rd party app. Even when it comes to support their systems are not integrated. I emailed in asking to have a co-worker added to be able to call and submit tickets ( because otherwise she can't!) and was asked to provide more info on this employee because the support people cannot see users. I WISH i would have gone anywhere else but Aeries.

Overall the software is helpful and had achieved the needs it was supposed to cater to. I just wished there were more training. Well at this point I don't need this anymore as my last high schooler graduated.

Pros

This was introduced through the school and was just a user so as far as my needs to check attendance and grades it was easy to deploy

Cons

There are hard navigation tools that are not easy to follow, so sometimes gets frustrating as you can accomplish what you want

Overall, I like using Aeries. It is super helpful to use and has so many different features that makes keeping track of student info easier.

Pros

I use this product everyday for work. It's a really helpful tool for tacking info on students. One feature that I really like using is the queries. It makes looking up mass student info soooo much easier! This product has come along way with functionality and easy of use. When I first starting using this product, it was a desktop app Aeries CS. Many years ago, I was apprehensive to the change, but now I love how much simpler it is to use.

Cons

One thing I don't like is that sometimes the tracking for A-G UC/CSU qualifications does seem to always be accurate.

Pros

Ability to continually monitor attendance and grades in one location. Ease of switching between students.

Cons

It is my understanding that the "Last Updated" window adjusts when the teacher makes any changes in Aeries, regardless of if there was any action taken with the student's account. It can be misleading to see a current date, but no new work reflected in the grading.

Attendance records are streamlined and easily accessed.

Pros

Easy to use. The students are in order alphabetically and the printed role sheet matches which helps lessen the amount of mistakes. It also saves each entry as you select it.

Cons

It's picky about which internet browser you use. The page won't load if you're in a certain browser.
