Not to be confused with: FortiClient provides endpoint connectivity and access functions; FortiEDR focuses on threat detection and response.

Grammarly for Education is an institutionally managed writing-assistance and generative-AI service. It is intended primarily for secondary and postsecondary writers using school-managed writing assistance, with students, teachers, staff, multilingual writers, and accessibility teams using it to support editing, conventions, clarity, tone, revision, citation, and generative writing support.

Users receive suggestions on grammar, clarity, style, tone, citations, and drafting across supported websites and applications. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is the current successor to HEAT service-management products. It centralizes incidents, requests, knowledge, service catalogs, approvals, changes, assets, and automated workflows for technology and other internal service teams.

Districts still using a HEAT-branded deployment may be operating a legacy version or an upgraded Ivanti environment. The record should identify the actual installed product before the catalog name and district relationships are converted to the successor.

Linewize School Manager is the legacy name used for Linewize's K–12 web-filtering platform, now presented primarily as Linewize Filter. It applies internet-access policies across networks and managed devices, provides user-level reporting, manages search and media access, and helps districts identify risky or distracting online behavior.

The product sits within a larger Linewize suite that includes Monitor for student threat detection, Classwize for classroom management, and parent controls. These related records should remain distinct unless the district evidence shows a suite-level purchase rather than specific modules.

Microsoft Power BI is a general-purpose business intelligence platform and a core analytics workload within Microsoft Fabric. District teams can connect files, databases, cloud systems, warehouses, and APIs; transform and model data; build interactive reports; and distribute governed dashboards through Microsoft workspaces and applications.

Power BI can support instructional, enrollment, finance, HR, facilities, compliance, and public reporting, but it does not include a ready-made K–12 data warehouse or common metric definitions. District value depends on the quality of source-system integrations, semantic models, security rules, licensing, and staff or partner capacity to maintain the solution.

Milestone XProtect is open-platform video-management software used to connect and manage cameras, recording servers, sensors, analytics, alarms, access-control systems, and other physical-security technology. It gives school security teams a common interface for live monitoring, investigation, evidence handling, and administration across one campus or a distributed district.

XProtect is software rather than a complete turnkey camera system; districts select compatible cameras, servers, storage, analytics, and integrations through Milestone and its partner ecosystem. This flexibility supports phased growth and mixed hardware, but it also makes system design, licensing, cybersecurity, support ownership, and evidence procedures especially important.

Minecraft Education is Microsoft’s education edition of Minecraft with classroom controls and lesson resources. It is intended primarily for K–12 learners participating in teacher-designed game-based lessons, with students, teachers, instructional coaches, library/media staff, and technology teams using it to support collaboration, computational thinking, design, simulation, creativity, and cross-curricular problem solving.

Students build models, solve challenges, code agents, collaborate in shared worlds, and document learning within teacher-facilitated activities. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

The listed Netwrix URL points to Netwrix Auditor, a security auditing and monitoring product that records changes, access, configurations, and user activity across directory, server, cloud, and application environments. Netwrix now also offers separate products for identity management, directory management, password security, privileged access, threat detection, and data access governance.

Netwrix works with other systems primarily by collecting and correlating security information or by connecting identity workflows to directories and applications. Auditor can exchange audit data through its integration API and connect with SIEM, ITSM, and security platforms. Netwrix Identity Manager and Directory Manager can instead provision users and permissions across Active Directory, Entra ID, Google Workspace, LDAP, databases, Workday, ticketing systems, and other supported targets.

NUTRIKIDS by Heartland is a supported K–12 nutrition suite for point of sale, meal eligibility, menu planning, nutrient analysis, production records, and reporting. It remains in use by districts that need established cafeteria and compliance workflows.

Heartland continues to provide support and training for NUTRIKIDS while also offering Mosaic as a newer cloud platform. District relationships should be retained, but each should eventually be checked for migration from NUTRIKIDS to Mosaic.

PCS-NOW by PCS Revenue Control Systems is a K–12 nutrition platform for point of sale, student accounts, eligibility, applications, menu planning, production, inventory, purchasing, forms, payments, and reporting. It connects cafeteria transactions with central nutrition-office processes.

PCS offers modular tools including WebPOS, ApplyNOW, PayPAMS, special-diet and allergen workflows, digital forms, and back-of-house operations. The current listing should identify the PCS-NOW product family instead of the ambiguous name PCS.

PowerSchool offers hosted and on-premises releases, with current product documentation and updates confirming that BusinessPlus remains actively supported.
