Pros

  • Customer Service has been very helpful in making changes and improvements that improves the software capability. I believe this software will get even better as time goes on.

  • Jamie - the president is very easy to get along with and will step in to solve even the simplest requests. For that we are grateful.

  • I am happy and recommend ampEducator to anyone.

  • Thank you so much for the support, really appreciate it. Your staff has been so helpful in giving me precise instructions regarding the Amperea account management.

Cons

  • There is no bulk enrollment option. For example, when inputting student grades it has to be done in single batches.

  • We pay to have custom programming done. Then some months later, the feature appears available to all software users.

  • I would update an address, and then when I'm ready to mail out a check, I would mail it to the wrong address.

  • I've noticed several times that when I update an address or email address, the information resorts back to what was previously there and no update actually occurred.

Hi Arjun, thanks for taking the time to review our software! We really appreciate it. For bulk updating student grades there is an option to import the student grades from a CSV file. If you would like to contact us and start a ticket with support@ampeducator.com we would be happy to help you with this function. Best, Jamie.

"Great Value - handles attendance, clock hours, terms, easy to use."
Overall: We are a small non-profit college that uses clock hours and terms. I searched several other options, but nothing in this affordable price range. Software is web based and we never have any problems with being down. Software handles attendance, make up hours, terms, etc. Customer Service has been very helpful in making changes and improvements that improves the software capability. I believe this software will get even better as time goes on.
Pros: Easy to use, Web Based (Does not require a IT support team for backup and maintenance, instructors and staff can access where ever they internet), Handles Attendance, Clock Hours or Credit Hours, has flexible fields that you can utilized. You can easily generate some reports to PDF or Excel. Very affordable. You get a lot for your money.
Cons: There is not a lot of built in ready to use reports. Currently there are not predeveloped IPED Reporting that is required for U.S. Department of Education type reports. I will say that the programmers are very open to developing whatever reports you need. The software does not come preloaded with reports that other schools have developed or had previously written.

Hi David! Thanks for the review! I agree that when it comes to reports we still have work to do even though we do have a lot of built-in reporting tools. One of the issues we face is that we work with many schools from around the world that do so many specific things and are governed by different rules it's nearly impossible to have a "standard" set of reports. Having said that we are working towards having some "standards" based on type of institution and region. A really good example is tax forms - in Canada the T2202A tax form is completely different than the 1098T tax form in the USA. While we can do both it still involves some work depending on how your staff track financials, etc. Anyway, as you know with all the work we are doing for you it's good to know at least there is a solution for pretty much any situation you can throw at us! Thanks again, looking forward to continue making ampEducator even better with your help! - Jamie

"Love / Hate Relationship"
Overall: There is a love/hate with ampEducator. I love the look of it, I like that it can be flexible and easy to use. It would be great for simple, straight forward companies / organizations but for more complex, higher education it is difficult to get what you need done which is what we experience. We have to pay to get special features created in order to get what we need done and later those features are given to the rest of the customers at no charge. I feel like we do help AmpEducator expand its capabilities so it's great for people who use it now. AmpEducator is limiting and there are a lot of workarounds and errors that come up. It can be frustrating. It's affordable for us at this time, it's really hard to switch out right now, and the customer support really do try to help and fix things but it does take time.
Pros: I like the way it looks, easy to use, able to show academic history / audit, data maintenance.
Cons: It's limiting in functionality for a bigger, complex school. It can feel unreliable like there is a bug or a huge workaround.

Hey Pauline! I also have a love/hate relationship with ampEducator :) that is so funny! Since we got started back in 2010 with you specifically I can remember so many times going back and forth for hours sorting out ideas and issues with you and the development team. While we have come a long way with all that we still have so much work to do! We have always done our best to address any ideas, bugs or concerns that you have brought to us and it is because of users like yourself over the years helping us improve that someday we will reach our goal of becoming "the most affordable, fully featured campus management system in the world". Now that we got that mission statement plug in there - I just wanted to say again that you are awesome and thanks again for putting up with us in those earlier years Pauline! - Jamie

"Coordinator, Student Enrollment"

Hi Patrick, It's hard for clients to find time to review so thanks so much for doing it! While we have made efforts to build in reporting tools all over the place in the software we know it's not there yet. We're going to be adding some new section Dashboard reports that may help in Spring 2017. Custom reports for a small fee may be the only way to go for now if you need things to be exactly a certain way. We do provide that as an option as a last resort. If you have any request please let us know of course! Best, - Jamie

"Invaluable Tool for Our Office "
Overall: ampEducator provides a easy to use solution to student information management. The interface seems to constantly be updated to expand functionality. The CS team is pretty small but every efficient it following up with issues with the software. ampEducator also allows for customization features that can be added /built into the platform. Not perfect, but pretty close!~
Pros: ease of use, customization of features.
Cons: updates to interface seem to happen at random and without warning. A notification of recent updates would be extremely helpful.
