In the past, we did this all by paper and it was extremely tedious. By partnering with PowerSchool, we have saved hours of time processing paper, increased our data verification, and increased parent efficiency in supporting registration paperwork and documents. > > **Cons**: The initial set-up and implementation costs were extremely pricey for the level of customer service and design that we received. PowerSchool Registration has gone through three different client communication protocols in the last three years and we have experienced extremely poor customer service/response times. > > The product is great, customer service is an area of improvement. ----- ### "Great Resource That Could Use Some Improvements" — 4.0/5 > **Latoria** | *8 March 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked that it allowed the parent to connect with the student's academic process and stay updated on grades and activities. > > **Cons**: I felt that there were times when the system was unreliable as a source of information because it wasn't being regularly updated by teachers, who felt they had another easier method of maintaining student records. > > It was functional to some degree, but it could perhaps use a more integrated system that allows the processing of information to be more streamlined. ----- ### "Terrible Customer Service and Does not Deliver on Functionality" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *20 May 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has been better than nothing, and the integration with PowerSchool's SIS is useful. > > **Cons**: The support team seems to know nothing about their own product--they seem to move you to one person who knows what they are doing if you complain enough, which is exhausting. Then, they move you back to a low quality team. We have changed "support teams" multiple times over just one year. There is very little consistency or professional follow-through. There is almost nothing in regards to instructions or manuals that can help guide you to troubleshoot your own tasks--you have to rely on a support team from India that also doesn't know what to do. The features of the platform itself are clunky and not intuitive. The user experience is marginal at best for organizing and managing applications. > > Very poor. They were months delayed on implementation, response is non-existent from sales/management team, and the user experience/customer support is nowhere near meeting the value of what you pay for the platform. ----- ### "Dive into the future of cloud data management with PowerSchool's enhanced enrollment platform" — 5.0/5 > **Shazia** | *30 May 2022* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best thing about this software is that it is easily accessible and customizable, giving a great first impression to the applicant. Another favourable feature is the detailed reports and visual/graphical representation of data making it easier to analyze and use the data to our benefit. We have recently started using the payment gateway as well. It turns out to be a great tool to save resources, avoid hassles, improve efficiency and keep paperless records right into your device without having to worry about storage. It is a versatile solution for virtual enrollment, payment and registration requirements. Its integration with other platforms like PowerSchool SIS makes the implementation process easier than ever. > > **Cons**: All the features of the software could be explained at first as we have faced some issues in utilizing the full potential of the platform at first. The support team takes a lot of time to answer my queries which is a bit frustrating. Rest everything is great and as promised. > > PowerSchool Enrollment has been a life-saver for our school during these COVID times. At the start of the pandemic, we came across many solutions but they were either too costly or useless to spend on. Finally, we came across this platform that provides the best data management and enrollment service and tools at the most affordable price. We have been using it for 1-2 years and my overall experience has been excellent so far. The user interface is simple and intuitive, the application forms are customizable and you can also collect fees through it. They also come up with new updates to meet consumer demands. Overall, it is a must-have for schools who want to save time, improve efficiency and avoid payment hassles. ----- ### "Super helpful for enrollment especially with a lottery process" — 5.0/5 > **Rosann** | *24 August 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This makes enrolling students so much easier than the paper process we had. It makes it much easier especially with 5 schools now to manage. The lottery process is so much simpler than what we were doing before even though we have to run two different types of lotteries depending on the campus. > > **Cons**: Although their lottery process is the best I have seen because of the way we have to do things it isn't an easy process to program but they have gotten it right every time. > > Overall it has been a good experience. There have been some bumps along the way. Like every place, they have a limited staff, and sometimes my expectations of when things should be done aren't met. Things are done normally on time to a deadline. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/432111/powerschool-enrollment?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/432111/powerschool-enrollment) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
