### "Clever is pretty clever"

September 29, 2020

5.0

Organization is always something that I continue to struggle with. With Clever, however, this solves this problem tremendously. It allows you to organize your logins in one place.

Pros

Clever is the easiest software I have used in a long time. As a user, it is seamless and saves SO MUCH time for searching and organizing all of my passwords and logins. Once set-up, it instantly stores logins and with a click of a button, you are instantly logged into the next website. Also, my children use this for online schooling it has been a godsend. Last school year, we were constantly having to remember MULTIPLE logins for MULTIPLE different sites. Now, the school has even more logins stored and easily accessible.

Cons

I can't think of anything as a user. Every once and a while, Clever might have a glitch and it doesn't automatically log you in. But I think this was due to the thousands and thousands of students who were trying to log on at once. Since then, no issues whatsoever!

### "great for managing technology inventory"

October 6, 2022

5.0

We are able to use data from our inventory to plan for and budget improvements.

Pros

We started using clever shortly after the pandemic started when we had to make many more technology purchases in order for employees to work from home and needed a way to manage the inventory. It's very easy to manage the inventory and I love how easy it is for us to track the life cycle of our products and plan for renewal cycles.

Cons

It took us a good bit of time to get up and running with the process of entering every product for the first time. Now that everything is in our data is reliable and informs our improvement projects.

Alternatives considered

[Google Sheets](https://www.capterra.com/p/169718/Google-Sheets/)

Reason for choosing Clever

Google sheets could not analyze our data in the way that clever can. It also doesn't have many of the search criteria and filters built into clever.

### "Great for student sign-ins and make it easier, but limited.... needs to be expanded"

May 19, 2021

3.0

Overall, there are many benefits for ease and time saving for students, however, there is a lot more that needs to be improved to make me want to use it more. I've not used it as much with my students as I'd like because it isn't compatible with everything.

Pros

I like that it saves times with certain websites (e.g code.org) that we use in class, especially for younger students. We always have a hard time remembering and writing down or typing passwords and logins correctly. It is a nice management tool for teachers and students.

Cons

It is not compatible with all websites we use, which is extremely frustrating. Students sometimes login with google, sometimes with clever, sometimes we have to write them down on paper/pencil or try to save them on their ipads or computers. I want something that is compatible with ALL sites!

### "Clever for Education"

February 22, 2021

5.0

Clever is the sensible solution for teaching in the 21st century. It solves the problem of having to teach students multiple different platforms and running the risk that they get confused or lose their password to get in. Since each product requires a product username and password, clever simplifies the process by only requiring users to know one. Once they log into Clever, they are given access to all the other products they will use.

Pros

Clever is a one stop shop for all learning apps, links and online content. Clever can easily be customized and altered to fit the particular needs of your students, school and educational demands. Having all of the learning (from ebooks to purchased software) all in one places saves a lot of time and minimizes confusion.

Cons

There can be a delay between your organization adding the new learning app and having it ready for student use. It is not automatic. Sometimes it may take a day.

Reason for choosing Clever

We chose Clever because of the continual challenge of reminding students their passwords on multiple online products. Clever saves a lot of time and frustration by allowing users to know only one. They can then access all their learning apps.

### "Great education platform"

July 31, 2022

5.0

I really love how I can download an app to Clever and it automatically rosters all of my students. I don't have to manually add 25+ students.

Pros

Everything is on one platform for the teachers and students to sign on various online learning sites such as zoom, Google classroom, Splash Learn, Class dojo, math and reading curriculums etc. You don't need to have passwords for the different applications you need to access. With Clever you are automatically logged in. This works so well for the lower elementary grades and students with special needs.

Cons

You may come across a site and/or application that is not compatible with Clever, but ask your tech administrator to see if they can troubleshoot the issue.

### "Great App for Students"

August 18, 2021

5.0

Pros

Clever is used by my daughter's school and they use it for keeping track of their work and assignments. The teacher's communicate with them. We get a parent login to check in on our students and communicate with the teachers as well. I love the simplicity of the software.

Cons

I think there should be a text notification that is sent to the parent's phone and not just to the student when the teacher communicates with the student. That we can track the overall appropriateness of when things are being communicated.

### "Great for Schools"

June 27, 2020

5.0

Clever is an amazing asset and all school districts should look to invest in it.

Pros

Clever makes it easy to keep students connected to technology. The ease of one login for every app is beyond beneficial for young students.

Cons

While there are a multitude of apps to connect to, there are still many apps that students cannot log in to. But they make up for it with the ability to link to any site students may need.

### "Great organizational tool"

January 9, 2021

5.0

Great tool for organization tool which enables us as educators to protect our students on the internet. It enables us to organize apps and only allow access to those sites which have been approved via our district.

Pros

Easy way to organize the apps we want the students to use at school as well as not enable them on sites which we do not want them to be on. It syncs with our database and has little wait time for new students so they are able to get to the virtual learning immediately in this pandemic time.

Cons

Every so often there are glitches when the software does not let you log in quickly. These glitches are few and far between though.

### "All your apps in one place"

January 5, 2021

4.0

This is a good program that makes finding apps quickly. It also is great when I have to have the students go onto apps that are required by the district.

Pros

I like that I can create my own resource page and that I can have that accessible to my students. I also like that it houses my favorites in a special place on the first page. It's also interactive where I can write messages to my students and they can respond.

Cons

There are times when Clever is down and it makes for a very frustrating time. There are times where the links that are put in do not work correctly.

### "Helps us stay up with changing rosters!"

July 19, 2019

5.0

Pros

The ability for Clever to sync with our databases allows us to not worry about incoming students and all the accounts they require to start classes. It easily pulls the data from our system instantly creates all their logins and teachers can see them within moments of the sync.

Cons

Customer service can be hard to get a hold of sometimes. Also not all applications are supported, though the list is growing pretty quickly.

### "Easy for my students"

May 8, 2020

5.0

Overall, Clever sets up a library of links that make it easy for my kids to get easily to the site they need to do their work. We love it!

Pros

Clever works by putting links to all the platforms that my kids need all on one page. The district can push things out to Clever and I can add my own.

Cons

There are a couple of websites I use that appear to demand I use Clever if I try to log in with my school login. It added several more clicks than I thought necessary. The work around is to log in with Google.

### "Clever Works!"

September 24, 2020

4.0

I love it. The interface is clean and straight forward.

Pros

It works all the time. We need data to be migrated from one system to another on a daily basis and it does just that.

Cons

The uncertainty of their security. Your chain is only as strong as the weakest link. If they get breached, some data could be compromised.

### "A much needed software for distance learning "

April 17, 2021

4.0

Overall, Clever is a must-have software for distance learning in schools. It is very supportive. It is easy for students to use. The app can be accessed through either scanning the clever badge or entering the user name.

Pros

Clever is a go-to place for students doing distance learning. It houses many educational apps. It has a cool feature called messages where you can text people and it is interactive. It is compatible with phones and has the same features as on laptop.

Cons

Sometimes the website has stopped working and I could not access the educational apps. It has apps that is not needed or not important. The visual display is plain and not attractive enough.

Overall, Clever has made accessing sights so much easier for our students.

Pros

The addition of Clever to our school account has made it simple for young students to access the necessary links and sights we use.

Cons

### "User-Friendly and Team Support"

July 29, 2020

5.0

Overall, my experience with Clever and the integration of one of the apps I had a problem with was super. The Clever team worked closely and quickly with the other company to get me set up for my incoming students. The CLEVER team kept me posted with how to correct issues on end while they corrected issues on theirs. The entire correcting process only took a couple of days.

Pros

This product is amazing in that it allows students and staff to sign in to their system one where then students can get into their various apps with one click. They are hundreds of apps that integrate with CLEVER. The platform is colorful which makes it very user friendly on the eyes.

Cons

I feel there could be just a little more onboarding support for newbies.But even with what is provided, this product still gives detailed tutorials through there CLEVER University to help you along the way.

I like that this software integrates several different programs.

### "Not for younger students"

October 13, 2020

3.0

It's nice to have all of the programs I use in one place

Pros

I am a kindergarten distance learning teacher, and though I've heard Clever is amazing for students in the higher levels, it's still super confusing for my kiddos to get in and have a one-click password experience when I have been unable to work with them on how it's used. Either the parents need to have experience and understanding or it's not being used.

Cons

COnfusing to initially login. It seems like if parent's don't speak English and can understand the directions, it is confusing to get them in.

### "Single Sign On Platform for Educators and Families"

April 29, 2020

5.0

This software has made e-learning more manageable because it allows for a single sign on. It has helped parents and caregivers access material from multiple sources and platforms in one place

Pros

I like that it is easy to navigate as a user. In a district with a lot of variance in parent and caregiver literacy and comfort with technology that was fairly easy to adopt.

Cons

I wish there were a way to sort according to your most viewed or most visited elements of MJ enthe platform.
