Clever vs. AdminPlus SIS by Rediker Software

I am able to go to Clever and log into several of the most used websites that I use for my classes on a regular basis. It makes everything very handy. I would definitely recommend using Clever for teachers who want everything in one place. It’s a great tool for teachers.

It's a great system for storing student information and extracting it into usable data. If you're looking for a robust report creation system, though, it's not the best choice unless you have someone skilled with programming languages.

• The ease of data exports into easy Excel Spreadsheets is one of my favorite features. It allows me the ability to quickly see data and arrange it for ease of use of our teachers, administrative staff, and stakeholders.
• Administrative Plus can be easily customized to display student record data in the most relevant way for our organization.
• The customer service support team is always quick to respond, and extremely helpful. I can reach them through user forums, emails, or a phone call, and I know they will always provide a fast and thorough response.

• It could use more ways to be able to log in besides just Clever and Google.
• I wish I could show my students what they see on my board and not mine.
• Could use more ways to add content.

• Their reports feature needs to be more user friendly. They use their own personal code to write reports, and it's not very user friendly to the average person. It would be much nicer to have a WYSIWYG editor where I could create what I wanted without having to know their special language.
• The system could use a more modern face lift, and perhaps a more intuitive interface.
• The sync process between the Parent, Teacher, and Student Portals is slow. Data should be continually synced between the two in real time, instead of initiated by the user.

Clever isn't a student platform or management system, but more an interface to launch into other programs and applications

We were using Aeries for our student information system prior to Rediker, and it was a messy database with too much redundancy, making it difficult to extract the data you were looking for from the system.

• I don't have to struggle to find the websites that I need.
• My students know exactly where to go when it’s time to take a test.
• My teammates can access sites that I add, and vice versa.

• A less expensive alternative as far as Student Information Systems go.
