Compare Edumate vs Alps

Michael Benson, Teacher: I find Edumate frustrating to use becuase pages load slowly, pages often crash and data is often lost when entering reporting comments, leading to a need to re enter data which wastes hours of my time. I am disappointed in the service provided and cannot recommend it to others.

Jennifer Hutton, Teacher: Great resource, compact, easy to use, data easy to understand and use

Dave Caldwell, P6 Teacher: Very helpful product, although sometimes the platform can be frustrating to navigate.

Matt Rea, Head of Sixth Form: I rated ALPS a 10 out of 10 because of the transformational impact it has had on both student attainment and teaching efficiency at our school. It provides clear, accessible data that empowers teachers to make informed decisions, target interventions effectively, and track progress with confidence. The system has helped us: Raise student outcomes by identifying underperformance early. Streamline teaching through focused planning and data-driven strategies. Foster collaboration across departments with consistent, visual performance metrics. Support students holistically, especially during key transition points between KS4 and KS5. ALPS doesn’t just provide data—it drives real, measurable improvement in both teaching and learning.

Nick John, Headteacher: It is a useful tool to support quick and efficient data analysis at subject and whole school level. The ALPs team also provide invaluable support when needed to us within school.

Steve Oakes, Assistant Headteacher: From my perspective, ALPS is a truly essential tool for any sixth form committed to helping students reach their absolute best; it's not just about tracking data, but about creating a culture where students and teachers strive for excellence. What I find so powerful about ALPS is that it facilitates setting those aspirational yet achievable targets, which is so important in those crucial sixth form years, and then provides incredibly detailed analysis of each student's performance, allowing for a level of personalised coaching that ensures no one gets left behind. The subject-specific benchmarks are also invaluable, giving us a clear view of how students are doing compared to the national standard, so we can target our support and help them maximise their potential. And with the effective monitoring and tracking features, we can keep a close eye on progress and adjust our coaching strategies as needed, which leads to much more productive conversations between teachers, students, and parents because we all have this clear, shared understanding of where they are and what they need to do. For me, ALPS is about empowering sixth forms to go beyond just recording grades and instead actively coaching students, instilling that drive for excellence, and giving them every possible chance to achieve the success they deserve.
