Excellent product for a VERY niche market
Pros
RenWeb is School Information System software. It allows the user to take attendance, track grades, generate report cards, as well as a HOST of other features. Very feature-rich. In years past, RenWeb sort of lost its way with not really understanding who its core customer was - K-12 schools. After the acquisition by FACTS, RenWeb has really turned the ship around.
Cons
I do not like that FACTS is completely re-branding RenWeb as FACTS SIS. It doesn't sound as good. It looks like they're admitting failure. My preference would simply to be a major revision overhaul and re-branding with the same name.

Exceeded expectations
After initial setup, usability and reliability are better than expected.
Pros
FACTS handles tuition billing. collections, and integration with Quickbooks Online.
Cons
Some features are tricky to use, but we are able to adapt to the software in order to achieve desired results.

ISM issues with FACTS
Support for our teachers was very poor. Twice when we placed calls for assistance, the support person couldn't provide help but stated that we would be put on hold while they ask their manager. After you are on hold for about 10 minutes, they disconnect the call.
Pros
The SIS system is definitely what has been developed the most.
Cons
When FACTS took over renweb, it would appear they didn't know as much about how to build the educational component (LMS) that makes it user friendly for teachers and students.

An Incomplete Design
While we've only been using it for a few weeks at this point, it seems that the software design lacks a clear plan and doesn't offer the tools and features that schools need. Everything from a clunky integration with Google Classroom to "hyperlink blue" text that isn't clickable makes this software lacking in features, usability, and design.
Pros
I liked that it has theoretical flexibility to meet school needs.
Cons
Despite the theoretical flexibility of the platform, it's plagued by poor design, dead ends, and does not meet the immediate needs of our faculty or staff. The front office has indicated that the attendance tracking is a nightmare. As a teacher, it does not have logical tools that allow easy navigation; rather, each tool requires a separate click and opens a new tab. That's just poor design.
