    Munis is great for any sort of data keeping and accounting work. There are features of Munis that I am still not familiar with even after 6 years of use. Munis would not be very good for a point of sale sort of operation like a retail store because it just simply is not set up for that sort of operation.

    When it comes to tracking grades and attendance or even just entering grades and attendance, this has been the best system I have used in fifteen years in education. The administrative side has many features and tools that allow us as a school or district to identify students that would benefit from specific interventions. Overall, it has been a great product for us. I am not aware of any scenarios where Tyler SIS is less appropriate than other products.

    • Need for labels of all of the navigation pictures. It is difficult for me to know what button I am clicking into if I haven't accessed that part of the software in a while.
    • It would be nice to have a tutorial to know how to navigate the software better. It can be difficult to navigate at the beginning.
    • Remove the "BULLETIN" section.

    Everything about Tyler SIS has been better than 4Clicks. I remember it being a running joke in my building about how the "four clicks" was such a selling point. Sometimes it was not really four clicks until you reached what you need, but it also felt as though it required four clicks to even do a simple thing. The gradebook system alone was infuriating with how many clicks (and the loading) it took to enter grades.

    Return on Investment
    Tyler Technologies
    • Munis has prevented our office from needing multiple software programs to house all of our information.
    • All of our employees have access to the same information, on the same software.
    • Munis has made day-to-day operations smoother for our office because we are not constantly flipping between programs or software.
