We don't need to provide Mailbox to the users. They can see all school activities on Edbsy. They can communicate with anyone in organization. > > **Cons**: Sometimes it gets really slow. In general support is great but when we need a timeline to resolve the problem, they don't have it. It takes some times to get the new release out. > > All the manual calander work is gone. Everything is posted on Edsby. Just login and find all the information for school. Really good for parents to keep track of everything their kids are doing. ----- ### "Great way to communicate with students and parents" — 5.0/5 > **John** | *9 November 2018* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Edsby does an incredible job of making it easy to allow students and parents to see what is happening in class as access documents from class while away from school. It is a great place for teachers to be able to record grades, conversations and observations, which is required by the ministry. It is very user friendly and allows for most of the school needs to be in one place. > > **Cons**: The grade book is wonderful to have, however many of my staff would love to be able to print out individual documents to share with parents or an easy way to print out the grade book. > > Edsby has been wonderful to work with. When we have had questions, they have been quick to answer or solve them. The Edsby feedback on the site is a great way to communicate with them. ----- ### "K-12 Social Networking Based LMS" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *17 December 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The company is based in Ontario, Canada and focuses on K-12 education which is exactly where my school lands. As a result, many of the changes and customization are geared towards my school. Most the major LMS companies are based in the US so their focus is naturally there. > > **Cons**: It seems like the number of customer service staff has not grown at a rate that can accommodate the number of clients that Edsby is accumulating. This has resulted in excruciatingly slow response times, especially around September and October. > > Overall, the Edsby platform excels at social communication and K-12 school management. I wouldn't necessarily call it a proper LMS just yet because it only recently added the functionality to build asynchronous courses and import SCORM based learning modules. ----- ### "Best K-12 LMS I've Seen" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *20 October 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The set up is very easy, the functionality is incredible, and the end user experience is great. Whenever I show new teachers how to use Edsby, they are amazed at how simple it is and just how many features they can use to enhance their classroom experience. > > **Cons**: There are a few customizations that would be helpful - the messaging feature could be improved with the storing of messages in folders for easier access for example. > > We run a school of nearly 900 boys. We communicate with parents and students. We run online courses and we managed to remain fully active throughout the COVID 19 pandemic without missing a day of class. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/132538/edsby?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/132538/edsby) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
