Absolutely invaluable to our organization

We track late arrivals, early releases, demerit points, among other aspects of our organizational operations. If not for the iPad Concierge, we would need to have a full-time person tracking all the items. Also, the ability to perform a background check on all who enter the school and to send notifications to parents when a student has an event logged into the system is completely invaluable.

Pros

We use iPad Concierge to track late arrivals, early releases, background check all who enter the school, merit and demerit points, among many other facets of our daily organizational operations. Without this system, it would fall on a full-time person to accomplish these tasks.

Cons

We've found that our visitors with less technological savvy require assistance in using this system. However, they quickly learn and subsequently use the system as intended.

Great Way To Monitor And Control Campus Access

Customer service was top notch. They were even able to incorporate some request into future updates.

Pros

The software is straight-forward and simple for visitors to use—especially once they have been there before. Notifications to individuals that someone is here is very helpful.

Cons

The scanning works well, but can be awkward depending on the setup. It would be nice to be able to attach a swipe reader.

Customer Service

Just need to be able to have issues fixed or emails returned faster.

Pros

That is is easy to use and customer friendly.

Cons

customer service needs, not able to get emails responses

Ease of Use at School

We are able to process any individual that comes on campus in speedy and effective manner, to ensure that they are allowed on campus by simply having the software scan their license/ identification. Especially with all the heightened attention to security, this is one extra step we take and it is so easy to use.

Pros

Ease of use to check-in late students, as well as any visitors to the building, with a scan of their identification.

Cons

Using the app on my phone can be a little complicated because not everything displays on the screen and I have to be scrolling up and down and to the sides. I use this if I'm in the hallways and students are late to issue them demerit points on the spot, without having to take them down to the office.

Conciergepad

The security of the building, by checking everyone in with ID we know exactly who is in the building and their identity.

Pros

That when repeat visitors visit our building it makes it a lot easier to process the check in. The added security. The reports we can produce after using it.

Cons

Sometimes the lists don't get updated often enough thus creating a problem.

Using the Conciergepad at Millwood School

Keeping track of visitors is easy. I have enjoyed using it and find it as a welcome addition to our front lobby.

Pros

The ability to log our visitors and guests. Our visitors usually compliment on how tech-forward we are when they sign in. I believe parents are pleased with the security of knowing who is on campus and when. The background search by drivers license is another layer of security.

Cons

the green check mark when scanning the back barcode of the drivers licenses. It would be better to remove the green check so that visitors know that the screen will just change when the barcode is accepted.

Mater Academy Cutler Bay

CONCIERGEpad is a great benefit for our building as it assists us with tardies, attendance procedures and security.

Pros

The software is user friendly. It allows us to use the information in a way that is useful for our building needs. The ability to export information and create spreadsheets benefits our needs and is easily executed.

Cons

Printing failure occurs at times which is easily fixed but may cause time restraints on retrieving information.

Best School App

The concierge pad helps our school with students signing in tardy or early release. It also help in alerting us to any child predators.

Pros

It's easy to use. It provides great reports. The background check is amazing!

Cons

As of right now, we have found no problems with this software.

Office Coordinator's Review of Concierge

Really it's been good. I've contacted our rep a few times, but I haven't really heard back from him recently.

Pros

I like the easy user interface. I love the instant access to TX DPS records for safety check.

Cons

It takes some getting used to. The front camera doesn't pick up the QR code very well. Running reports isn't intuitive. I'd love to see all the images all day of visitors who might be in the building as opposed to the most recent 4 or 5. I'd like to be able to check people out via the computer b/c sometimes they lose their badges.

Very helpful tool

It has really helped to organize and track our student information.

Pros

We are able to easily track and monitor our students tadies, early release and sign-outs. The reports are clear and easy to ready.

Cons

The wi-fi printer loses connection often.

Concierge Pad

No business problems with Consiergepad. Great Ser vice. I have referred a lot of people

Pros

Security for our students and ease and options for use

Cons

Only the photo that tries to show users the correct way. They think the check means they are done. But really very happy with system

check in system

I think its fantastic and it has helped us very much with out check in process

Pros

its easy to use and it notifies the person they are coming to see.

Cons

sometimes the licences do not scan and anyone coming from another country their licenses do not work

It works great!

Pros

The CONCIERGEpad is very user friendly. We use it at our school and parents already know how to use the system. I work at the front desk and it makes my job easier knowing the parent knows what to do while I background check and call down their child.

Cons

What we struggle with the most is that sometimes the concierge pad decides to not scan certain driver's licenses when the bar code in the back is clear. I don't understand why it does that but luckily there is an option to input your information manually.

Pros and cons of conciergepad

Pros

The software is easy to use. Relatively quick for printing ID badges.

Cons

The Been Here before button is too small on the bottom left side of screen, therefore, most people miss it during self check in and have to reenter their drivers licenses. Also, if someone has checked in previously and avoided camera.. there is no way to reenter them and take a new photo.

Concierge Pad

Pros

It is easy to use. Great for tracking attendance and tardies as well as scanning in visitors to our school.

Cons

The set up of adding students is a little complicated.

Easy to use

Pros

Installation and use is very easy. People don't have a problem figuring out how to use the software.

Cons

Constant charging of the iPad, but it is a minor issue.

Keeping us safe

It is an excellent tool at our school.

Pros

Helps maintain our building safe by keeping track of all our visitors.

Cons

The technology issues that come with any tips of IT

ConciergePad

Overall, we've been very happy with the program and have streamlined our school login procedures.

Pros

We have been looking for a streamlined way to check visitors and volunteers into our school and also create a badge system so staff have a way of identifying who is on campus. We found the system to be relatively easy to set up, use, and manage. Our parents are happy with the functionality as well as the added level of security it provides their children. An added benefit was the simplifying of the early release procedure for children who were leaving campus early.

Cons

You are limited in terms of customization with regards to homescreen buttons. Any changes you want made to the forms need to go through the company as you can't do that in the backend of the program.

Easy, Rapid, Safest Concierge

Wonderful

Pros

What I liked most was how easy and self explanatory it was to use. I also liked the safety features like notifications.

Cons

When the wifi is down we don't have the convenience of the concierge pad that has saved info.

Great software

The sexual predator matches are a huge convenience.

Pros

fast and easy checkin and background checks

Cons

Check in process: 1. Parents can select the wrong student when checking in 2. Parents need to popukate the email field each time they check in

Concierge Pad

I cover the front desk and have assisted visitor's with the check in.

Pros

The process and security of registering the visitor's when they arrive.

Cons

I have not found any negatives about the system , it's helping us properly check in visitors.

Fantastic Tool for Processing Visitors Effectively and Conveniently

Parents love the convenience and ease of the program/devise. It is great for tracking purposes and documentation.

Pros

The visitors do all the work! They check in/out; scan their own ids; and sign in and out when their child is tardy or signed out early. The teachers are instantly notified when a child is being picked up early. There is no more "paperwork “in the front office for these functions. I also like that the parents receive a text/email letting them know their child is tardy or leaving early. No more discrepancies that their child "was not tardy".

Cons

The only con we had was that the system was not linked up to the Archdiocese's Virtus and Fingerprinting system. I am not sure if that can be or has been fixed.

Conciergepad

We never had a problem and parents like it very much.

Pros

It was easy to use and friendly. Parents were able to use it and also the staff.

Cons

I liked everything the only thing is that it was too expensive.

Excellent tool for any school

Instant notification of tardy to school to parents as well as being able to review times students have signed out of school. We have benefiting greatly by using this as a Charter School.

Pros

It allows for quick and seamless visitor enrollment, tardy tracking and notification, and overall functionality is excellent.

Cons

Adapting to our school schedule since we are a block schedule.

Great Product!

Over all a great experience with the ConciergePad system. One system to track it all and data reports at your fingertips.

Pros

ConciergePad has really facilitated the tracking of visitors, tardies, early dismissals, and behavior issues.

The system uses a data base that will sometimes flag a person incorrectly due to the similarities in their names.

It has helped to have better control of student reports such as early dismissals and tardiness. A smooth transition of paperless reports

Pros

It’s is user friendly and real time reports

Wish bridge pay and concierge were linked into one single app

CONCIERGE PAD

Pros

How easy it is to sign in in the morning. No scanning barcodes on ID cards. Just type in your ID and BAM signed in!

Cons

The only issue is when you have connectivity issues but that is not on CONCIERGE PAD end?

Fast, conveniant, useful, accurate, informative.

Excuse reasons were too many and should be limited based on student grade or age.

Cons

Sometimes the app isn’t working ; sometimes there’s a delay

New to the Product

My school is just beginning to use Concierge Pad so I don’t have much feedback, other than that the program brings more order to our dismissal process. That is certainly appreciated.

Pros

I like that my students can interact with the product and it makes our dismissal process more efficient.

Cons

I would appreciate a “quick button” that would make it possible to call up exactly the page I need at the end of the day on my Smartboard dedicated computer. I am admittedly still new to the product so I may not be seeing an already available feature.

Great product and service for our school!

We have had a great experience so far!

Pros

Ease of use, attractive look, and good customer service.

Cons

Hard to integrate data, manual vs. automatic data import, etc.

Very good

Pros

It is very easy and simple to use. I like that it does a background check when you scan the ID.

Cons

It sometimes glitches and does not work.

St. Patrick School's Review of Concierge Pad

It has been an asset in registering visitors, alerting teachers of parents coming to see them, and has heightened the safety and security of the school. In addition, any problems that were experienced, support was there to guide us through everything. Shout out to our rep.! :)

Pros

This software is easy to setup, use, and maintain. It is definitely worth the money spent - and then some! Our rep, is an asset to the company as well!

Cons

Some of the updates had a few quirks, however, when the platform changed, everything started to work flawlessly.

Amazing product

It’s an amazing product

EXCELLENT

Pros

Concierge Convinience

Pros

Easy to use for both staff and visitors.

Cons

There's nothing to not like about it. It is easy and convenient to have.

Overall thoughts

Pros

Data was easily accessed , information was on point

Cons

Exporting the info to excel wasn’t the best !

CONCIERGE pad

We have accomplished a lot by using CONCIERGEpad by already having on file the driver's license of the repeat visitor's. This makes their registering to be in the building a lot faster than having to check each one.

Pros

This software is very friendly and easy to use.

Cons

The least issue I like about this software is how to scan the driver's license. It would be easier if the scanner would work by inserting the license rather than moving it around to fill the space.
