• I like the ability for teachers to customize their individual bulletin boards for their classes. Allows them to provide information and enrichment materials that students can access at any time.
• I like the SSO integration available for things like PTC Wizard conference scheduling software.
• I like the ability to imitate parents\teachers as it makes troubleshooting issues easier.

• Edsby shows the last time a user logged on. Unfortunately, if someone doesn't log out you have no way of knowing if someone has seen a recent post or is really using Edsby to its potential.

• The migration from EE to "ON" was rough and a bit clunky. It also took us a long time to complete.
• I find it frustrating that on the Admission side they can change a student status to Withdraw...but it doesn't "speak" to the Registrar side.
• From an administrative asst role, many of my AA's complain about lack of labels. Some areas offer them, others do not.
• I feel some of the reports don't allow enough manipulation.
• Advanced Lists are a "nightmare" and there isn't any training available to the end user on how to navigate them.

• Its wide array of use throughout all departments has been a great asset.
• As other API connections are developed it will become an even stronger product.
• Our integration with Finalsite has saved us a lot of time for keeping two data sources up to date and in sync.
