What do you like best? Overall it's very user-friendly, even for novice users. You can easily navigate and find all the info you need! I love the software's ability to create groups. This has been extremely useful to us since we've been using the group features for dorm assignments (I'm a high school teacher). Now, we can easily find all the students that live in one dorm by selecting the related group.
What do you dislike? At the moment, I have not found anything negative to mention. I like this system a lot. It has made my workflow easier!

What do you like best? Blackbaud "ON" is what we use for merely everything! From our website, email communications, and teacher websites to grading, registrar, scheduling, School Information System (SIS), and Admissions. For student billing, we integrate with Smart Tuition. Our teachers love it, and most of them find the platform easier than FAWeb for grading. Students and parents are more engaged and log into the school website far more frequently than before.
What do you dislike? I love the system, but I'd like to see more enhancements regarding the Grading review. It needs to be more user-friendly, especially for division heads. Mostly because there are times they have to review grades and have comments submitted by faculty. It would also be great if teachers were able to see comments written in prior quarters when writing them.

What do you like best? We use Blackbaud's Education Management Solutions for our digital marketing school. This tool is very robust. It allows us to automate day-to-day activities, which is great. I've noticed that I'm more organized ever since its implementation. Best of all, now all the student data I need are in the cloud, and I can easily access them. Another one of its pros is that it integrates almost all aspects of administrative management and data storage.
What do you dislike? We had some issues with the customer service integration of the application. So, users who needed support couldn't use it, and we had to manage them in person. Or, sometimes we had to use other channels. As I've mentioned above, the app needs a lot of training to get it right. We had a hard time creating and configuring an admission or billing form the first time.

What do you like best? onBoard has really helped us manage the admissions process. Its interactive checklists enable parents to complete the application process easier. Online enrollments are now the most preferred solution. Also, we use the tool to manage all of our current student and family information. With onRecord and onCampus, we can now group students into classes, activities, athletics, and other types of groups which have been extremely useful.
What do you dislike? Sometimes I've found myself getting confused when trying to grant user access to specific areas within the system. It can be unintuitive at times, resulting in unexpected results.

What do you like best? My kids' school used multiple software systems with multiple log-ins until 2 years ago. That was a real frustration for a parent with 2 kids... Now I can log in once and see everything that I need on one platform. From grades, schedules, and college preparation to billing and contacting teachers all in one place. I'd say it's a parent-friendly system, and it has helped me communicate easier with the school.
What do you dislike? I admit that it took me some time to learn my way around it. But, as soon as I got used to navigating to where I needed to go, I had no issues. So far, it seems to work well.
