They listen to us and offer amazing discounts. One of the things I like most about EdAdmin is first it is really easy to use and get around but mostly it is fully integrated and as such from one module you can literally reach any part of the system, for example to get to the timetables you do not need to go to the timetable, you can reach there by selecting a student and you will see all that information. I also quite like the numerous reports one is able to generate from any module and the ability to export and import data which is very much simplified. Also you will find that EdAdmin can work with you to customise the system to the prefered colours. > > **Cons**: One of the things that sometimes bothers me is that it can be overwhelming. Sometimes I wish it was simpler but we get all of it and for one who is not used to MIS, you may find that the system overloads you. The other concern I have is some of the information may be hard to change without contacting developing. I wish I was able to fully customise it to my very specific needs. > > For the 10+ years I have used EdAdmin, I found that the support was superb. They listen to my concerns and needs and where possible, they resolve those without charging but also when there is a need to work with a consultant, the turnaround time is quick. Secondly, EdAdmin gives you as an Admin a whole range of tools you can use to make simple but meaningful changes to how the system works for you. Most MIS do not give you the freedom to make even minor changes without contacting them. I have also grown and evolved with the system and find it very relevant to today's educational needs. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/153236/ed-admin?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/153236/ed-admin) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
