When I, an ALMA Administrator, need assistance their customer support is easy to access and always can help within moments. When I, as a teacher, use it - I know my grades are secure and can easily be accessed by students and parents to keep up to date with what their child is achieving. I like many of the features including leaving notes, adding calendar events, sending whole class messages or something on the bulletin board feature. We are lucky to utilize this SIS in our district. > > **Cons**: There is nothing that comes to mind as a con for ALMA. Of all the SIS systems I have utilized, this is my preferred system. > > I have been using ALMA for 8 years now and it has never let me down. There is not a feature that I need that is not available. ----- ### "Accessibility" — 5.0/5 > **Francys** | *25 September 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What do I like the most?? mmm ... its simple way that the information is presented, there are guides, videos, post, and everything focused on improving your service. > > **Cons**: I've been thinking about what I don't like, wow\! good question, even so I can't find something that I dislike. > > Okay, we have been with them for 7 years together in our journey as a business focused on education, we have grown together. I recommend it 100% for your growth. ----- ### "Alma is efficient for School Nurses too\!" — 5.0/5 > **Kathleen** | *6 April 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The feature that I like most about Alma is the ability to flag students with medical issues. By creating a critical health alert, teachers and other school staff are easily made aware of certain high risk students. Also, I like that the school nurse is able to upload individualized health care plans to Alma, making it simple to pass along pertinent health information for those who need to know this. > > **Cons**: One thing that could be considered a con is the speed of program. Sometimes, it takes longer than others (when trying to access student health information). > > Overall, as a nurse, I have had a very good experience using Alma. It is very user friendly and easy to navigate. I like that you can hover over a student's picture to enlarge it. This is helpful when I am learning the names of new student to the school that i work at. ----- ### "Alma SIS Review" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *23 July 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have used Alma SIS for years, in two different school districts. One of the best qualities of Alma SIS is its ease of use. My teachers love how easy it is to navigate for attendance, grades, etc. Since Alma is so easy to use, just a few clicks, and attendance is done. Also, especially with the integration and sync with Google Classroom, teachers spend little time entering grades. This provides more time to attend to all the other tasks that teachers have on their plates every day. Students and parents also love Alma because of how easy it is to navigate. > > **Cons**: Honestly, nothing. Out of all of the student information systems I have used, both as a parent and an educator, none have come close to the experience I have had with Alma. > > Due to the positive culture at Alma and their mindset of hiring educators to work for them, they provide an excellent SIS and a top-notch customer experience. Working with them has been great\! I hope I never have to use another SIS for the rest of my career. ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/264800/alma?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/264800/alma) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
