What do you like best? As a company Schoolbox always want to know the ideas and needs of their customers, and base their roadmap and development around this feedback. This is important as schools know they have a voice in the direction of the core platform that educational institutions are so heavily invested in. Schoolbox integrates with a range of different platforms that we use including Synergetic, GSuite and Digistorm, this integration is highly effective for our school operation.
What do you dislike? We would like to see Schoolbox move to more seamless Cloud hosting, this is a relatively new area and we acknowledge that there is work to do in this space. Our teachers would like a more advanced search function. Storage can be an issue due to the amount of large files, content and duplicates that staff upload. Being able to delete multiple files in the Resource Booking area would be beneficial. There have also been limitations in the way that we would like to run early commencement.

What do you like best? Integration with our Student Management System is quite comprehensive and out of the box, requiring little customisation.
What do you dislike? Customisation work can be difficult to achieve, or not timely enough, given it is generally user base driven

What do you like best? We implemented Schoolbox back in 2010 and so I have enjoyed almost 10 years now working with the team there, in what has become a true partnership. We love that they have built the product out based on the requirements of their users, that it continues to evolve and they work alongside their users to respond to their needs, something most 'out of box' solutions won't do.
What do you dislike? Least ...they have had some great developers we have worked closely with over the years and so it's always hard to see them move on, so that's my least favourite thing, but given they all move onto bigger and better roles it could also be seen positively, as to me it shows that Schoolbox invests in it's people.

What do you like best? Integrated approach of news feed, curriculum, assessment...everything required in one place for all users in the school community.
What do you dislike? Admin functions not intuitive - superusers can spend significant time looking for what they require. Some limitations in resource browser and response / easy of managing folders.

What do you like best? The ability to capture all components of school life in one software package. From learning to management and tracking of NCCD, Schoolbox provides innovative solutions to contemporary questions in education and if they don't currently have a solution, they are open and willing to pursue an adjustment in order for the software to best serve the client.
What do you dislike? Excited about the movement of ePortfolio to the Primary Project. This will help move us forward as a school.

What do you like best? I think the data analytics that can be extracted from the platform are hugely useful, the ability to access information within 3 clicks is very important and its a great comms tool to reduce email noise.
What do you dislike? There is nothing that is not to like about this product, the team are continuously looking at ways to improve the platform to make it better for schools to use. Particularly its development in the rubric space has been fantastic.

What do you like best? The Schoolbox community is excellent. The company has established a culture and framework that is very effective in supporting learning through collaboration. I have found the regional user forums and annual national conferences to be excellent. The design reflects a deep understanding of how schools operate and it functions very reliably. Schoolbox is a sophisticated yet relatively simple tool to manage complexity in schools.
What do you dislike? The greatest challenge with this software in our first year has been the training aspect around the 'course builder' component. In particular, teacher understanding of the relationship between 'course builder', 'course outline' and importing classes and course outlines. Related to this is the process of submitting assessment with course builder.
