PraxiSchool Erfahrungen

Wonderful product, have used for several years, couldn't be happier with Praxischool!

Kommentare: Wonderfully positive, a great blessing to our school as we seek to minister to our local community by offering a traditional K4-12th grade education, based on Christian principles. Great Christian company to work with!

Vorteile:

Praxischool works with each and every school to make sure each implementation is customized to exactly what that school needs, with the ability to make changes as a school grows or shrinks from year to year. They also have support available 5 days a week for staff that are always incredibly helpful with any issues we are experiencing. Even have a multitude of helpful how-to-videos showing how to do important tasks step-by-step.

Nachteile:

That we didn't find it sooner. :) Any complaints have ultimately been addressed and Praxischool seems to me to be dedicated to continual self-improvement and expansion of offered capabilities.

Stellar Company

Kommentare: The implementation of this software has been a very pleasant experience largely due to the excellent customer service from the sales team and their training team, David, Stacie and Jennifer. These three people have shown they genuinely care about their customers and strongly believe in this company. They all listened to my concerns and desires, and all showed me they would give 110% to ensure my needs are met. They all displayed true professionalism with a personal touch. I truly feel like I am now part of their family.

Vorteile:

The product is user friendly and the training I received to use the product was top notch. The product did not integrate with an app I need to use but the staff was willing to do what it took to get that integration in place. You have the opportunity to work with a programmer to put things in place specifically for your school --basically allowing you to customize your experience as much as possible.

Nachteile:

There aren't any features I feel are missing because you can ask for specific things and have a discussing how to implement your requests.

Great concept, limited access

Kommentare: None really, I only use it because my school requires it.

Vorteile:

Easy to take attendance and journal student progress. I can see how this website would be very convenient if I was an administrator.

Nachteile:

Somewhat confusing to use, not an intuitive program. Wish there was an ios app for this, as I mostly use my iPad in the classroom, very frustrated that I cannot use my iPad with this website, even if I have Firefox on my device. Very annoying that I have to use Firefox with this website, as I don't need it for anything else. I have found the lesson planning section clumsy at best, there are simpler more user friendly sites that I use for lesson planning. The site freezes if I leave the web page open, forcing me to log in and out every time that I need to use it. As a teacher with limited time for admin during school hours this is very frustrating.

Better than average SIS

Kommentare: The PraxiSchool team is very helpful and reponsive.

Vorteile:

This system is user friendly and all inclusive. Tech support is amazing. Reports are very customizable and simple to use.

Nachteile:

Payroll feature does not do direct deposit.

Fantastic program for small non-public schools with limited resources

Kommentare: I have now used 3 different school database systems. This one holds weight with the top of the line products used in my area, by overly funded public schools. One caveat, we are not using the finance side of the program.

Vorteile:

The ease of set-up, high quality training and detailed resources for help. It also fits in our budget.

Nachteile:

Occasionally, I might have to refresh the page for an update.

Praxi School - Outstanding Product and Service

Kommentare: My experience from the moment we purchased Praxi has been amazing. I reviewed several different systems before we purchased Praxi and I could not be more satisfied. They were so easy to work with getting all of our records set up initially and if there is ever any questions that arise, an actual person is available within just a few moments to assist me. Their customer service is one of the things that truly impressed me and they haven't let me down. I've had other companies try to sell me their product, but I have no intention of leaving Praxi because this system manages everything we need in our school office. We are a small Christian school and we are very conservative in how we spend our funds. Praxi is very affordable for us and is an exceptional product for the cost.

Vorteile:

Everything about Praxi is easy to understand and use. I have used other school software that was difficult to use, and did not provide most of the services available through Praxi School. I love that I can run the entire school office from Praxi. We are able to handle financial management, grades, parent communication, and student/parent information in one system. The other thing I love about Praxi is the immediate customer service. I am able to connect with a customer service rep in moments online and they are always able to resolve any questions I have. I am never transferred to multiple people to answer my questions.

Nachteile:

I honestly cannot think of anything that I do not like about the Praxi School system.

Easy to learn. Does WAY more than I had hoped. The versatility and support is unparalleled.

Kommentare: We combined nine databases into one. Ease of use and versatile. Support is fantastic and so is the price! Both parents and the school loves having one database to which everyone has access.

Vorteile:

We had nine separate databases operating at my school and we combined them into Praxi. Not only does Praxi handle everything for admin and the classroom, but it handles library, donors, lunch, communications, after school and finance. My parents are happy that they have one place to go to pay bills, see grades, demerits, calendar, announcements, etc. Admin loves it because we all have access to the same information and if the littlest piece of info changes (e.g. an email), it updates in the system and we all have access. The support that Praxi gives is unparalleled. Any software adoption has challenges as change is never easy, but Praxi made it as easy as it could be. Praxi was available for any training we needed - even if we needed a refresher. The online support is available to help and they make sure your question is answered while looking at your screen so you are using your data. At one point I had to wonder if we were the only school using Praxi because their response is so timely. (Of course, they have hundreds? Thousands? of schools.) They helped us every step of the way and they are still there for any questions big or small. The versatility of the reporting is also beyond anything I have seen and I have had experience with many databases. We can generate a report using any piece of data in Praxi and output it in a PDF, Excel sheet or email it. And you can't beat the price. Lots of value with an affordable price.

Nachteile:

Praxi does not currently have the ability for us to put hyperlinks in the Announcements page, but I'm told they have that on the "to do" list.

Tremendous customer support and fantastic feature offers make this product of utmost value to school

Kommentare: This software benefits ours school in virtually every aspect. From administrative and record keeping to lunch and student attendance tracking. Discipline and merits are easily tracked and accessed by the parents in the portal.

Vorteile:

The president of the company went out of his way to meet with me and help setup features for an ACE school. I searched diligently for an online school management software that could accomodate the uniqueness of our program and found none. PraxiPower sought me out and worked with me to help customize their program to work for my school. I never thought I'd have all the features of an online program with parent and student portal access, but PraxiPower has made it reality for our school. Some of the features and their ease of use have enabled us to implement programs (such as lunch and aftercare) with ease. Overall it has taken our school up to the next level.

Nachteile:

There are so many features that sometimes it is difficult to stay up with them all and take advantage of them all. There is an initial setup requirement for most of the features. However, once that initial setup is completed it is done and the data entry and manipulation becomes quite easy after that.

PraxiSchool: A Professional Program that Saves Time & Money

Vorteile:

The overall ease of use, from sending out statements, recording payments, emailing parents [school wide or by select groups], recording grades, online payment. These are just a few things that are beneficial about Praxischool. This does not touch on the availablilty of their customer service staff that can jump on and help when needed. No phone call with waiting for the call to be answered or returned, but someone online who is available in a reasonable amount of time.

Nachteile:

Depending on what you used before it can be intimidating and take time to get up and running to its full extent.

We tried, but Praxi couldn't step up to the plate

Kommentare: None.

Vorteile:

It reminded me of software I worked with in the late 90's, except that everyone got their own login and could access the software from any computer with internet access.

Nachteile:

We cancelled after 5 months. It seems like this software is on a dying, almost obsolete platform and the interface is obtuse at best. After our first on-boarding call, several email containing questions were met with zero answers. Calls were met with techs that didn't know how to navigate the software. The only person who knew enough about the software was our tech, and she was so busy with other clients it was hard getting and maintaining her undivided attention. It always felt like she was on the other line with another client during our calls or chatting online with several people at once. During our calls she explained to us her frustrations with other clients and lamented the fact that she never gets any rest since she's the only one there who knows enough to help anyone. I'd be scared to approach this company until they seriously overhaul their software interface or at the very least train more staff to support their current client base.

Excellent choice for programs that are seeking a strong cloud based software!

Kommentare: PraxiSchool has provided me with a central location to manage our vocational programs. I have the flexibility I need to track specific faculty credentials, manage student A/R accounts, review student progress on a daily basis, and create customized reports that to meet our needs.

Vorteile:

The PraxiSchool software meets all of our needs and more! The software is robust and the technical support is EXCELLENT! Regardless of the issue (small or large), the online support team is always very welcoming and helpful I have had nothing but good things to say about the system. The onboard training was fantastic and the team was very patient. Additionally, having a video recording of our training sessions have been a welcome addition to our faculty support page on our website.

Nachteile:

I gave "Ease of use" a 3 star rating only because it DOES take using the software daily to get into the swing of managing it...particularly if you have never used any such system in the past. However, after you get comfortable with how it operates then it becomes commonplace and very simple to use.

School Management System

Kommentare: It is nice to have all of the data in one place once it is entered.

Vorteile:

We use this product daily for student management with attendance, grades, health and communication.

Nachteile:

It is difficult to run a fully detailed attendance report for conferences.

Praxi Review

Kommentare: I have had a good experience learning this program with lots of help from tech support!! I never hesitate to call and love talking with Ed and Jennifer. They never make me feel stupid with my questions. As I use the software I get more familiar with it and am not afraid to learn new things.

Vorteile:

Access to tech support

Nachteile:

The glitches and hang ups at times with it being a smaller company and a progressing company.

Great program, easy to use and helpful customer service!

Vorteile:

Ease of use. The classroom is laid out in a manner that makes it easy for me to take attendance, record grades and communicate with my students parents. Also like the fact that they are always adding new features to improve the program and meet the needs of school staff members.

Nachteile:

I would like to see a discussion board area added to the program. While there is great communication options between staff to parents / students, there is not an option for students to communicate with each other.

This SMS has made my job easier!

Vorteile:

This software is incredibly easy to learn and use. This ease has helped our teachers transition to the new software with a small learning curve. And the technical support is out of this world! I cannot speak highly enough of the Praxi team. They train you and answer your questions in a timely manner. They truly believe in their product, and therefore go above and beyond to make sure their product is working for you.

Nachteile:

The library of help videos are not current and therefore the features do not match the actual features in the program. However, the Praxi team is working to update all the videos. Also, there isn't a feature to check students in/out for appointments, etc. Several schools have requested this feature, and I am hopeful it will be added soon. All the teachers absolutely hate that they have to click on the big yellow button EVERY SINGLE TIME before entering grades. It's the biggest complaint I hear.

Awesome Customer Care

Kommentare: The Praxi Power software system is very user friendly. The training and support we received when implemented was excellent and continues to be so on a daily basis. This says a lot about their customer service, which seems to be non existent in most business these days.

Vorteile:

The Praxi Power Software system has organized our school information from staff to students to billing. Helping us to run much more efficiently. The software is easy to use and the support exceptional.

Nachteile:

A manual would be beneficial.

review 2016

Kommentare: The customer service is excellent. They go above and beyond to give support to their customers. Support staff are always available.

Vorteile:

Fairly easy to use the basics. Encompasses all our schools needs.

Nachteile:

There are so many different tabs to choose from, sometimes it is difficult to know where to look for something. There are somethings that should be a quick find but you end up digging around quite a bit before you find it.

Don't waste your money!

Kommentare: I have completed several class in educational technology. I have worked for a software company with a successful IEP, medicaid, and billing software. I know how software should work. I would never recommend this program to anyone.

Vorteile:

I originally liked the idea that I could use it to write my lesson plans. I thought it would be helpful for the assignments I listed in my lesson plans would transfer to my grade book.

Nachteile:

The system is unappealing in appearance. It looks antiquated and cheap. Every task that I try to complete involves multiple steps. The help I requested was unsuccessful at solving the problem. The training was poor.

The Ease and Power of PraxiSchool

Kommentare: We are just beginning this new software and it is powerful but easy to use.

Vorteile:

Extensive capabilities for adding students, courses, classes, for making changes, for contacting parents, for billing, accounting, grading and so on.

Nachteile:

We have not used this software long enough to know what we do not like.

We have been using Praxi for over a year now and we all love it!

Vorteile:

It's got everything I need all in one place - grading, student/parent database, tuition contracts, email, accounting, donor tracking and so much more!!! And it's easy to use!

Nachteile:

I can't wait until they develop an interface to use the software on iPads and iPhones- for both admin and parent/student portals.

Arizona JR/SR High School Review

Kommentare: We are using Praxipower for student enrollment, attendance and transcripts. It has made it easier to send records to other schools when they are requested.

Vorteile:

The price was within our budget and the features were just what we needed.

Nachteile:

It is complicated to navigate and the look of the transcripts are not formatted like the public schools are.

Best SIS product available

Kommentare: Do it!

Vorteile:

Use this without hesitation! We are so glad that we do!

Nachteile:

Learning curve is NOT steep! Our users have no difficulties at all.

PraxiSchool

Kommentare: The use of PraxiSchool is opening up so many possibilities. The parents are thrilled that they will be able to pay on-line, select lunch, see grades. The teachers are thrilled to be able to put in attendance on their own, and that the lunches will not be punched on cards and the fact taht the parents can pay on-line frees up any mistakes I make!

Vorteile:

I like all of the features of the software. Having used nothing but Excel spreadsheets to try to keep track of payments, monies owed, etc., this is a lifesaver!

Nachteile:

I guess I haven't used it enough to have a dislike of anything!

THIS WAS A LIFE SAVER

Kommentare: [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] have been GREAT in helping us to setup and implement the software. I am really looking forward to using this software for the 2020-2021 school year.

Vorteile:

The software is EXTREMELY eased to you. Also the names of the tabs are very helpful when looking for important information and reports.

Nachteile:

Nothing at this time. The software is easy to use and I love the report feature.
