Edsby Reviews & Product Details

Esbsy is an absolute must have for our school. It allows everyone from staff, to parents, to students to always be updated and make sure there are no missing details. As an administrator, having some much data available at any time is incredibly valuable. Student records, parent contact info, assignments, report cards, teacher lessons plans, anything I need to access is immediately available. Having the data and access also helps to keep everyone accountable. Teachers know parents will be looking at marks, Parents know teachers will be following up on missed work or absences, I know there are written records of posts and communication. I cannot imagine not having Edsby. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like some customization for exporting data. There's so much good information in the Edsby system, it would be nice to have more options for exporting or reports. Additional views or ways to export attendance data for example would be great. Switching between calendar views, number of days missed vs. classes etc, having some more options on how to view and use the data would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We really enjoy how user friendly Edsby is to use for our parents, students and staff. The overall design is very clean and it is it easy to find information quickly. We especially like the fact that Edsby offers a sync system with our SIS. This makes keep student data up to date very easy. There is also a robust development team at Edsby that is always working on new features to improve and expand the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our main complaint about Edsby is that once features are released, further development on them seems to stall. This leads to some features not being implemented as well as they could have been, and other features lacking in critical updates to make them better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is an easy-to-use platform that enables simultaneous messaging, document sharing, and posting announcements to students, parents, and teachers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Edsby analytics are helpful, but they do not allow for filtering beyond what is presented on the sidebar. For instance, in the Student Map feature, I am looking for the total number of days a student has been absent or late. While I can see these statistics represented as percentages, I need the actual number of days. Although I can calculate this myself, it takes time to compile the information for the Principal.

Edsby is simply great. I hardly know where to start. From taking attendance, to attendance reports, to communication with parents, sharing marks, generating report cards, etc. Our teachers love it as a tool to communicate with the students and parents, to keep track of their marks and to do attendance. Our admin likes it to keep on tabs with all that's going on in the school. The office staff likes it for attendance, posts in the news river and generating report cards. Parent like it as a one-stop-know-everything tool: they can see the marks of their children, indicate that their children won't be at school for the day, plan absences for the future, read teacher updates and even message the teachers through Edsby.

We use Edsby every single school day and would not know what to do without it anymore! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are always some small crinkles that need to be ironed out, but the Edsby helpdesk staff is most helpful in resolving problems. It is now also possible to request features for future versions of Edsby. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Edsby has been an invaluable tool while we have been doing remote learning this year. It was our central spot where we kept all our information. Kids knew where to go and where to find what they needed. We also made use of groups where kids could chat and connect when they weren't at school together in-person. It has been really helpful! I have also liked how kids could answer other kids questions. I often found another student having answered a student's question. It was a great way to build a community of learners.

One of the challenges has been kids forgetting their passwords or not remembering to check Edsby. As long as they remember where to look for the information, it has worked wonderfully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's an amazing all in one solution for Staff, students and Parents. The ability to eliminate all other apps is amazing.

The support team has been incredible, and the features are easy to use and understand for Students and Staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

More documentation for IT Admins to allow a deeper dive into more advanced features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most user-friendly and comprehensive all-in-one LMS out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Edsby has a high "feature velocity" - both good and bad. They are constantly adding new features but only recently have improved the way they notify people (although the new notification system seems to be working well - so maybe this issue has gone away?) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Edsby is helpful as a teacher to keep track of student progress throughout the semester. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unless your division has accounts, can cannot access the additional apps partnered with Edsby. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the integration with our current student information system and Edsby's willingness to work with us to find solutions to our integration gaps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of customization within our own environment which is completely understandable when dealing with a product of this size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I love about Edsby the most is the focus on the importance of building a platform that works best to engage student learning at the ground floor. Edsby works hard to create a system that makes it easy for teachers, parents, and students to fully immerse themselves in a learning journey and to track and build on each step from start to finish.

Sometimes the system glitches. But this is usually quickly rectified and usually comes from the team trying to update and evolve the current platform. Though it can be frustrating for staff, students and parents in the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
