Detailed Review
Untis started as timetable software and now describes itself as a platform for schools. The desktop product Untis plans timetables, substitutions and break supervision, and the browser extension WebUntis adds a digital class register, parent-teacher days, bookings and a student module.
The vendor is Untis GmbH in Stockerau, Austria (company register FN 437283 p). Its website says Untis has been developing school solutions for almost 50 years and that more than 30,000 educational institutions work with its products.
Planning First
The core strength is timetable planning: multi-week timetables, lesson planning, substitution planning, course scheduling and department timetables are listed as separate modules. A browser version called vUntis is also offered.
WebUntis Modules
WebUntis adds online modules for the class register, online timetable, substitution display, bookings, parent-teacher days and a student view, plus an Untis Mobile App and a messaging module.
Schools can combine the modules they need instead of buying a single large system.
Data Security
The vendor states that its servers are located in the European Union, that it is regularly ISO 27001 certified and that it complies strictly with the GDPR. It publishes separate privacy policies for the website and for WebUntis and its apps.
Limitations to Consider
Untis grew out of timetabling, so it is not a full student information system with finance, admissions and HR modules like Arbor or iSAMS. Prices come only from an individual quote. The country of the data centres is not named on the pages we checked, only the European Union.
Who Should Use Untis
Secondary schools, school authorities and universities that need strong timetable planning with a digital class register, mainly in German-speaking Europe.
