iGradePlus Enterprise School Management System vs RosarioSIS

iGradePlus Enterprise School Management System is a web-based service for schools and districts managing student information, staff, multiple schools, and communications with students and parents. An Enterprise subscription can cover one school, several schools, or a whole district, with users assigned to schools to restrict data access. Teachers and administrators have gradebooks, GPA calculations, attendance and behavior tracking, assessments, schedules, and transcripts. They can create report templates and produce grade, attendance, behavior, progress, and report card reports across multiple teachers’ gradebooks. Student portals and up to four parent or guardian portal accounts per student are included. Zoom integration allows teachers to schedule and hold student video meetings inside the web app, with links shown in student portal calendars. The service works in major browsers on Windows, Mac OS-X, and Linux, while data is stored on its servers. The maker describes SSL transfers, encrypted sensitive profile data, nightly local and remote backups retained 30 days, and a 30-day activity log. A sample Enterprise price is $3,055 a year for 400 students, with unlimited teachers and administrators.
