Music School Management Software

PROS

We've been using JackRabbit to manage our music school classes and student payments for almost 10 years. It's easy to use, has capabilities to process monthly tuition payments via credit card or bank account. One of the best features is the ability to do online registration. This was a game changer for us and has contributed to more registrations as people can register at any time, for example if they happen to make the decision to enroll in the middle of the night.

CONS

I'm not sure what their uptime is, but maybe once or twice a year, there will be a server outage. This can be inconvenient as we use the software to run the entire music school.

Great Product

Overall, Jackrabbit Care is excellent and we would highly recommend it!

PROS

We have used this product for many years and love it—specifically the user-friendly dashboard.

CONS

We wish there were reoccurring invoicing and daily reports for children. We have to use three products as a result.

Reason for choosing Jackrabbit Care

We didn't prefer the messaging option on Brightwheel.

Unprofessional

Due to another business associate claiming 50% ownership, I sent my LLC, EIN, Operating Agreement, etc. to prove that my name alone was on the business. The business associate in question was the former bookkeeper who mismanaged funds. In an attempt to move forward with my business, my lawyer said that it was not an option to have this person (or her husband's) name associated with Bright Futures at all, since we would soon be bankrupt (in my name). I expressed this to Jack Rabbit and was assured several times that all was in order. However, once this former bookkeeper threatened Jack Rabbit with legal action, my account was closed in the middle of me billing. The bookkeeper and his wife had no legal right to doing this, but were simply being vindictive. Not only did this make my life very difficult, especially given the fact that I had just reopened after Covid, but it made it very difficult for my families who utilized flex spending, child care reimbursement, etc. I was not given any time at all to export information to a new software program. With this being said, the silver lining is that I switched to ProCare and they have been extremely helpful in assisting me with starting over from scratch. Going forward, if my parents require any information in the future (i.e. for tax purposes), I will give them Jack Rabbit's contact information. I believe JR acted blatantly unprofessional.

PROS

The billing component. It assisted me with accuracy and the parents were very satisfied with the process.

CONS

No loyalty/professionalism. All of the companies that I dealt with utilized the legal documents in order to exclude the former bookkeeper from my accounts, except for Jack Rabbit.

Amazing Customer Support, but missing important features

PROS

Jackrabbitt customer support is absolutely AMAZING! This is the best part of us using their system. Their ability to not only explain but to make videos on the particular issue you need help with is beyond helpful! That is the primary reason we are still with the Jackrabbit.

CONS

The absence of crucial features, which were fervently requested through their own idea portal and garnered widespread support from hundreds of schools and teachers, is deeply concerning. These essential functionalities, including an integrated store, private lesson scheduler, payment options, and other integrations, are pivotal to any school's daily operation do not exist. The "workarounds" do not work. We have to spend $$$ to use other companies to bridge these gaps. It also takes so much more time and effort, where it could easily be done in one platform.

Reason for choosing Jackrabbit Care

CUSTOMER SUPPORT at Jackrabbit is unparallel.

Vendor Response

Hi Anna! Thank you for taking the time to give us a review. We have a robust release roadmap for the year and hope to deliver some of the features you need to do everything from within Jackrabbit Care.
