PROSI like That it is keeping up with the times! The intervention of customized apps, marketing... its a one stop shop for us.
CONSMiss the turn away list, and some workarounds for online booking.

Hostage Trial
Great to impossible experience. I will look for cancellation guidelines when viewing other software companies.
PROSThe demo....Great representative. Answered all my questions and followed up
CONSHaving to call in to cancel my account. Unfortunately, I have appointments and was not available to talk to [sensitive content hidden] so my account was not closed. Called on the 11th of September and was told he was not available. No problem could you cancel my account. I don't want to be charged for something I am not going to use. Gave the reason but I still had to talk to [sensitive content hidden] , why? When would be a good time for him to reach me. Gave a time but did not receive a call back. Not a problem, I just expected my account to be closed (N0 confirmation that my account was closed) Called again, I had to give them a time to for him to be able to follow up with me. Are you kidding? If I want to cancel my account, talking to him will not change that. I can't believe they will and did hold this account hostage. I realized my trial is almost up I AM BUSY and decided to email the support department so I could verify my request. Finally, a response from [sensitive content hidden] questioning, why I want to close my account? As if the notes from the other two were not sent to him plus the email. Wow! I have the emails... Sum it all up, I never received an email stating my account was closed. I don't know if they charged the card on file. My bank decided to upgrade my card and they changed my cc info after I had already entered the old cc info. I don't have to worry about my account being charged.

Okay but not great
It's okay. It does what is absolutely needs to but does not offer much support/features for being great.
PROSI like the simplicity of the appointment calendar from an appointment-scheduler perspective. I also like the ease of setting up hours, location, confirmations, etc.
CONSUnable to customize the online booking site beyond colors. Not very useable for a school salon, only allows one appointment at any one time in terms of online booking - only manual bookings can override this. Also, customer service chat has very limited hours that do not accommodate our evening employees during their close-out if they have questions. Also, their email marketing only allows us to send. The client filters are beyond basic. And we cannot even see the campaign results. It is only an integration to their own send grid account. Also, the emails not used for the month do not rollover to the next.
Vendor Response
Thank you for your review, Alicia. We've listened to customer suggestions and enhanced our online booking to allow for multiple services to be booked online and included family booking. In addition to the campaign statistics summary report, you can now see what communications a client received in their client record. We release new updates each quarter to provide a better experience for our users. If you have any suggestions for our development team, please feel free to submit them on our community site. We appreciate you being a loyal customer!

Good Software but needs some upgrades!
Customer service is excellent! They are easy to contact and really work hard to solve my issues right away and with a "smile"! They make the process as easy as is possible!
PROSWe had used the Desktop version of Envision cloud for close to 15 years and recently made the switch to the cloud version. Things I like: Closely resembles the desktop version so training was simply, Ease of booking appointments, online booking options, automatic confirmation/cancellation of appointments from guest side, Summit Salon reports and easy payroll reports.
CONSIt was very time consuming to set up the automated marketing, reminders etc. When an appointment is booked in person a confirmation email is NOT sent to the guest. ( Shouldn't this be a given with any cloud based appointment software?) Reports regarding online booking stats needs to be greatly improved (For unbooked appointments-Give more information on what services were being requested, what service provider, and at what time so the salon can adjust accordingly) Better long term automated email marketing is desperately needed as well as more emails per month without needing an additional subscription. Register drawer reports are confusing and it is too easy to have accidental multiple drawers open.
Reason for choosing Envision Salon & Spa
It was an easier conversion from the desktop version than going with a new company.

Helpful tips to improve Envision
Customer service is excellent. Very quick to respond. Helpful in finding a resolution. User friendly program.
PROSThe program is easy to use and is quickly responsive.
CONSThe Mac version you have to hit control then right click on mouse. It's annoying. Also I would suggest that a notification would pop up if there is a double booking of apts. It did freeze when we had windows, that is why we transferred to a Mac.
Reason for choosing Envision Salon & Spa
We already had regular program before switch to cloud.

Medical Spa Softwear
As with any software there are things I would like to see change. However Envision has the best customer service around. They are easy to reach & is quick to resolve.
PROSI find Envision very user friendly. It has a nice design that is easy for everyone in the office to use.
CONSI would like to see easier email/SMS marketing. Our accounting department was not able to utilize the Quickbooks integration. The medical part of the software needs an overhaul, but for now it is usable.
Reason for choosing Envision Salon & Spa

FALSE ADVERTISING
terrible. Been with them for DECADES and switched to envision go and it's been a mess.
PROSthe WORST program we have ever come across. False advertising misled us to many, many things and we were paying for the ultimate package (which by the way states it includes "priority support" but this is not existent. "marketing" is advertised as a feature with the package but they fail to tell you there are limits to text messaging and email. Appointment reminders fail to go out on a weekly basis. Has not been working for 1 month now. List could go on but hope this helps out other businesses - get details of your contract before signing!!
CONSnot exaggerating, almost everything. Not customizable, limited text messages can be sent out, can't choose your time the notifications are sent out either. poor customer service help. poor training. terrible report options.
Reasons for switching to Envision Salon & Spa
False advertising and told it was better but complete opposite.
Vendor Response
We are sorry to hear that Envision Cloud was not the right fit for your company. We do everything we can to offer our users a great program with exceptional service. Your subscription did include unlimited phone and email support, plus 3 months of access to our on-boarding team and interactive training courses. Additionally, our Terms of Service outline our email marketing limits and provides details about the included SMS confirmation. We also offer an enhanced SMS service for those who would like to send custom messages on their own schedule. We have thousands of customers using both email and SMS services without interruption. We see that you have cancelled your account, but have asked us to extend your service on multiple occasions. We will continue to fulfill this request as needed.

Envision is a well balanced system.
We’ve used it for years and we know we can rely on Envision. Overall it’s a well balanced and great program to use in any salon/spa.
PROSSummit reports and being cloud based. We can view or work from anywhere!
CONSThe free text feature with our plan only allows one text out. I think, since it’s over the internet, there should be no charge. Also, reports should be more customizable.

The best software for Salons!
I love that we are able to not only track our clients, but send out marketing e-mails, sms texting, reminders etc
CONSThere are still a lot of things that need to be added that would make our jobs a little easier, but they are constantly adding and updating things. We've used for 4 years and it continues to get better and easier with time.
