"Amazing app"
What do you like best about Illumine?

is a great app, the school that my daughter is going they use this app and they encourage the parents to use this instead of an old one they had and this has been a tremendous evolution, the app its super easy to navigate, it has a friendly environment and its not a heavy app that you will download to your phone and then regret about it, i love this app to see the progress of my daughter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Illumine?

i think this is nothing to do with the app, but i see that when a teacher post something they say its only me who can comment and when i see every parent can actually comment on some photos. i think this is something that the teacher needs to setup before posting, I'm not sure, other than that i have not encounter any other issue or dislike.

"Illumine is a great resource"
What do you like best about Illumine?

It has allowed us as an education provider to keep track of our invoices and be able to make informed decisions for our school. It is highly interactive but needs the users to engage and use it to their full advantage based upon their needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Illumine?

There are no statements provided. It would be helpful if there was an option to provide statements either by student name and also have an option to provide statements under family name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from illumine Marketing of Illumine

Hey Madi,

Thank you so much for your feedback — we really appreciate it.

Regarding your point: “There are no statements provided. It would be helpful if there was an option to provide statements either by student name and also have an option to provide statements under family name.”

This has been acknowledged, and I am happy to share that we are already working on a similar feature, which is expected to go live soon.

"Great school management software"
What do you like best about Illumine?

Modern interface, lots of unique features that differentiate it from Brightwheel, especially the learning assessments and progress reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Illumine?

The app is very different from the desktop version, which is confusing. There are also some features that are hidden in strange places (for example, group communication for teachers is in the Parent Communication area). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Happy User - School Management & Communication Use"
What do you like best about Illumine?

Illumine support is very responsive and they are always updating their platform and app. The app was the most comprehensive option available at the time when seeking out a suitable app. They were not the cheapest option but due to their willingness to add features we needed, the responsiveness of the team and the many already available features we went ahead with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Illumine?

They have recently been adding premium options, when signing on with them, it was not communicated to me that there would be added costs for new features. While I understand that it may be fair in some cases to charge extra, this was not part of the original agreement. For the price I am paying, and being an existing customer that is still awaiting features to be configured to work in our setting, I don't agree that we should pay extra for these "premium" features. Some of these are also not entirely new modules but add on features. We have yet to get our Reports to work in the Illumine App configurations as it is not fully customizable.
