Specht Manager of Personalized Learning and Dean of Instruction Chose Renaissance DnA Illuminate is a more powerful tool with great support and analysis tools. Having the database is great for teachers to build assessments that are standards-aligned in a short amount of time. PowerSchool assessment is nearly as powerful. It's harder to set up and use.

Likelihood to Recommend	Can be used in any sized school district. Incentivized Lisa Marie Gonzales, Ed.D. Assistant Superintendent, Educational Services Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	Online assessment creation Online assessment administration Data analysis Data tracking Incentivized Laurance J. Specht Manager of Personalized Learning and Dean of Instruction Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	It would be nice if it communicated in real time with our other student database systems. We have to do a nightly update to share information with other systems, and still, some data gets stuck and needs to be "wiped". The intervention tracking system, OnTrack, is difficult to set up and manage. Assessment item banks could offer a better variety of items.

Usability	Illuminate DnA is a very usable system. A few items to learn and set up can be a bit time-consuming. However, once set up it is easy to use and powerful for a school that staff can master quickly. It has more features then we actually use but I hope we will over time. Incentivized Laurance J. Specht Manager of Personalized Learning and Dean of Instruction Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Our issue was never resolved so that we could use the software to produce accurate reports. Their tech department looked into the issue several times and could never figure out why our student was off and then they just closed the case. They confirmed we were performing the correct steps to load the data and they confirmed our data looked accurate. Great, but again why was our student count off?

Alternatives Considered	Illuminate DnA offers more flexibility and additional features that our previous Data Director system offered. We were looking for a system that offered an online assessment portal and the ability to create elementary standard-based report cards when we selected the illuminate DnA software. We were impressed with the ability to easily create custom reports and liked the comprehensive student profile page. Incentivized DB Darla Batistic Principal Read full review	No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	We tried to get the product to work for our needs for over a year and could not get it to work and therefore it cost us $20,000 with no results and easily over 40+ hours of wasted time.
