ampEducator Reviews
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.
"ampEducator is an easy to learn, easy to use web based student information system. "
Pros: The software is easy to use. The software is very clear and extremely user friendly for administrators and users. I learn to use the software very easily.
Cons: There is no bulk enrollment option. For example, when inputting student grades it has to be done in single batches.

"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.

"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.

"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.
