36 years of development expertise
NetSupport has 36 years of development expertise and a global user base of over 22 million! It’s safe to say that we know how to make a good product and ensure it keeps pace with the latest innovations and sector challenges.
The team
With former and current school leaders, teachers, governors, a multi-academy trust chair, technology experts, published authors, article contributors and international speakers in our team, we have plenty of technical and educational knowledge and experience to draw upon. This unique and invaluable mix ensures our solutions are relevant, effective and ready to meet tomorrow’s challenges.
Easy to use and implement
You can import student and staff data through existing integrations with systems like Google Classroom, ClassLink, Clever (US only), Microsoft School Data Sync and Microsoft Teams classes – or, manually create classes and connect them to student devices in a few different ways. Plus, with support for single sign-on, teachers can log in and get started straight away.
The fact you can tie it either to Microsoft or Google to sync users and classes makes the admin process so simple and ready for the teachers to use straight away. Teacher feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with staff commenting on how intuitive and easy it is to use.
Frankly, your software/interface is so incredibly well thought out and simple, the setup and deployment was not hard at all!
Simple pricing
We keep it simple and offer subscription-based pricing. We don’t lock you in with unnecessary long contracts; instead, we’re confident that our features will speak for themselves.
Plus, only pay for the licences you need and access all our tools with no extra hidden charges.
It’s thorough, as well as being made well and [is] good value for money.
Free support and training included
classroom.cloud is super easy to use and customise, and to ensure you get the most from the solution, we have as standard, product walkthrough videos, guides and more. These range from showing you how to set up the solution, through to specific videos with relevant features for technicians, teachers and safeguarding staff.
We also offer online demonstrations – perfect for gaining a good overview of the solution or seeing any specific features in action.
Plus, with IT Support teams based in the UK and USA providing telephone, email and online chat support, we’re always available to help, working across global time zones – all at no additional cost!
The NetSupport team was supportive in terms of demos to various staff groups, the implementation process, and any queries or issues we had were dealt with quickly.
Data protection and privacy
We respect students’ privacy and their data is only ever used as set out and controlled by you the school. We only work with the services schools ask us to integrate with and we never share any data with third parties, or have ads displayed in the solution.
So, with that in mind, we designed multiple privacy protections into classroom.cloud so you can be sure that we’re doing all we can to keep students’ data as safe as possible, while providing you with the tools to be transparent about how you use student data.
Love it – easy to read, contains all the required information, a clear link to a Data Processing Agreement (which is then incorporated into the Terms of Use) and even a Vendor RFI document included, which contains all the technical information for our data protection due diligence. Well done NetSupport for making two school DPOs very happy indeed!
