Considered Both Products	Infinite Campus JD Jennifer Dilly Teacher Chose Infinite Campus I find these other products to be much more simplified in their set up and user friendly where with Infinite Campus, it requires a good amount of time and patience to acclimate to the set up and arrangement of content. Also, the other products I have reviewed are more appealing … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Infinite Campus I think we should see these platforms as a tool that can be mixed and combined for getting better results. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Infinite Campus When I used SAMs in the past, there were several times that my data was "lost." Reports weren't as user-friendly as the reports on Infinite Campus. Navigation through the different functions is much easier on Infinite Campus. Incentivized Helpful? Chrisse Olsson Gifted Facilitator/Intervention Specialist Chose Infinite Campus Infinite Campus has performed [comparably] because it can house many different data collections all in one place. It is easy to look up students and can help staff in different [capacities] with reporting, uploading data for student profiles, and [sharing] with others in our … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Infinite Campus Tyler is a very versatile program. However, it is extremely cluttered, and many parents are overwhelmed by trying to navigate it to the point where they will not even use it. Tyler SIS allows parents to see similar information in addition to their child's grades, but the volume … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Infinite Campus Synergy, PowerSchool. Infinite Campus was definitely the "Cadillac" when looking at other systems. Other systems look and felt clunky when stacked against Infinite Campus. Although the company is not local, they FEEL and ACT as though they are right next door. Incentivized Helpful? CW Carl Winter Teacher Chose Infinite Campus Infinite Campus is a little more difficult to learn to use than eSchool was. However once you're used to it does have some features that eSchool did not such as the homepage. From the homepage I can take attendance and enter grades. It allows you to sort by graded, ungraded and … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Infinite Campus Infinite Campus and Google Classroom serve different purposes for my job, so they really aren’t comparable. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Infinite Campus Infinite Campus was easier for us to see the benefit of when making a purchasing decision. The competitors we were considering came as components of larger models and it became confusing to us which benefits of the products would be available to us only purchasing their student … Incentivized Helpful? Melanie Strom Technology Assistant/Registrar Chose Infinite Campus Our district has not evaluated other products--we have been on Infinite Campus since its inception. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Infinite Campus I've only ever used IC. Incentivized Helpful? Brad Owens Special Education Teacher Chose Infinite Campus Infinite Campus has more features that were needed for our district, like the ability to use a standards-based grading system, and attach students' IEPs directly to their profile. They grading system would have been hard to write on Skyward because they don't have the … Incentivized Helpful? Barbara Davis Spanish Instructor Chose Infinite Campus This system is more fluid, and more reliable. I did not select IC but it is a good product and I am pleased our district uses it. Incentivized Helpful? Craig Barnum Executive Director of Digital Literacy Chose Infinite Campus While PowerSchool has a rich feature set, we found the cobbled-together nature of the tool can make support problematic. The Infinite Campus toolset is much more internally tightly integrated -- many fewer user touches than PowerSchool. Incentivized Helpful? Casey Erway Affective Needs ParaEducator Chose Infinite Campus I much prefer Infinite Campus to Google Classroom. For all of the reasons that I have previously explained, I much prefer Infinite Campus to Google Classroom. I still, however, utilize Google Docs and things of that nature but as far as a grade book type of program or software, … Incentivized Helpful? Michele Roy Special Education Teacher and Current Interim Site Director Chose Infinite Campus I heard about Gradelink from my Site Director and our HQ team, but I have never used Gradelink.

Our three YCA sites are … Incentivized Helpful? Delbert Adair Physical Education Teacher Chose Infinite Campus Infinite campus has many more features than any attendance program I have used.

User Testimonials
	Infinite Campus	TADS
Likelihood to Recommend	As a classroom teacher, I love not having to rely on just a handwritten grade book anymore. When I input grades, I can print the updated grade book whenever I choose. This keeps my workload down since I don't have to write it in the grade book and then put it on the computer. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	It is very clean (not cluttered with information and buttons) It keeps all personal information in one spot The message center is helpful, and it is easy to see when there is a new message The breakdown of attendance is done very well Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	Infinite Campus does not integrate seamlessly with our learning management system. This is a big deal in that using Infinite Campus means our faculty and staff are asked to do more (fatigue) and there is more room for error to occur. Infinite Campus' platform is not visually appealing nor does the site design use enough colors and distinction to clearly convey progress to a user.

Support Rating	I haven't reached out to Infinite Campus for technical support. We have in-school people who are trained to help us out in the event of a problem. We have had a couple of times where the system has gone down unexpectedly, but our school IT professionals were able to sort it out.

Alternatives Considered	I find these other products to be much more simplified in their set up and user friendly where with Infinite Campus, it requires a good amount of time and patience to acclimate to the set up and arrangement of content. Also, the other products I have reviewed are more appealing to the eye with their color content/contrast, background themes/colors and engaging colors which make the experience enjoyable and calming.

Return on Investment	Positive impact: Allows us to keep our pacing guides up to date for weekly meetings and information dissemination. Positive impact: Allows us to provide our counselors, students, and parents with informative progress reports in a timely manner. Negative impact: Takes more time away from our other duties when it takes so long to find the data/information I'm looking for amongst all the classes I need to go through just to get to the one I need. They really should look at a better way to arrange/group the drop down menu for the classes.
