Administrator's Plus Reviews

Grey hair

Being a software manager, I've worked with many student systems over the years, but nothing compares to Administrator's Plus, with its robust, flexible and user-friendly features. I must say that the Hebrew Academy is PROUD to be part of the 'Rediker family'. The integration between Administrator's Plus and its School Office Suite modules has definitely helped the Hebrew Academy streamline our school systems. Over the years, we have continued to add modules, not only saving us time and money, but also enhancing accuracy, eliminating data discrepancies that we once had in our old stand-alone systems. With its newest mobile friendly features, Rediker has truly become an integral part of our school's advancement in becoming a 21st century school!

Administrator's Plus is the most comprehensive, all-in-one, school information system on the market. Having worked with a multitude of other SIS platforms in the past, I have found that Admin Plus has them beat due to its ease of use, exhaustive list of available modules covering all facets of school management, outstanding tech support, ample documentation, tutorials and training on each module available on the web and continual improvements and development of features that meet the needs of any school, diocese or district. Further, having a cloud-based SIS makes life easier for school tech support personnel. I highly recommend any school evaluating SIS platforms to call Rediker Software for information and to schedule a demo.

As a new principal this year, I was extremely pleased to learn that St. Agatha School had Admin Plus up and running before my arrival. Rediker Software has designed a suite of technologies that allow me access to everything from Gradebooks, Attendance Records, Scheduling, Billing and Contact Information, to new utilities such as our recently redesigned website and Admin Notify for timely and powerful communications such as All-Calls, Voice and Text Messages. Admin Plus has been designed by educators for educators and holistically meets our needs. We are very pleased with their services.

Fortunately, customer service is quite good, because this software is the most difficult to use that I have seen in decades. Commands are scattered all over the place and are almost never what you would expect ("New Files" to EDIT information?). The whole thing looks like something from the 1980's. We have been using it for years (we inherited it from a previous ICT manager) and every time it it is still a struggle. The slightest change in a report format requires the intervention of Customer Service; nearly every operation provokes the reaction 'why would it work like that?'

We have been using Administrator's Plus since 2001 and love it. The program is user friendly. All the modules work so well together. The program is the main focus of course but the support they offer is second to none. The support is always live. They take an interest in you and want to help you. Any training that is available, take advantage of it. Every single person at Rediker is so knowledgeable about the software. We HIGHLY recommend Administrator's Plus Software

Finally, an application that allows traditional school administration to be up-do-date with the current technology! Perfect for locating students, quick view of attendance trends, report card information, entering incidents as they happen & reaching out to parents - wherever you might be, on or off campus! In addition to their spot on customer service, the folks at Rediker Software are very interested in making this application the best of its kind on the market!

While this product is generally intuitive, it does not play well with other databases. The functionality of the system is limited. Most databases today creates roles for constituents, but Rediker lists constituents as contacts. This becomes an issue when contact information is not updated and it feeds to another database. It will undo changes and updates.
