No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros We have been using Pembee for our nature school for over a year, and it has been such a seamless experience! It's incredibly easy to use on our end and it covers everything we have needed to run our programs successfully. Our families have mentioned how easy it is to sign up and update things like their payment information. Whenever I have a question, their team is quick to respond (I'm talking like same day response)! I highly recommend Pembee for their ease of use, customer support, and price! #### Cons So far - nothing! It provides us with everything we need for a great price point. I don't mind the manual setup for the activities. Pembee makes it very easy to replicate existing activities for new ones. I also like having the ability to customize our registration forms. #### Reasons for choosing Pembee When I spoke with [sensitive content hidden] regarding Pembee, it felt much less "salesy" than Sawyer. The conversation felt genuine and I liked that I had the ability to customize things to my program. --- ### Pembee x SOTO - Something Out The Ordinary - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Jacque S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: July 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. Pembee has been a game-changer for our organisation. It’s incredibly easy to use and amend, and every update feels purposeful and well thought out. Our parents regularly comment on how straightforward the booking process is, saving them time and reducing admin stress on our side. The platform delivers a seamless experience, both for customers and our team, which makes running our services much smoother and more efficient. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The layout is clear and intuitive, making navigation easy for both the team and parents. We particularly value how easily accessible and manageable the various provisions within the platform are. It keeps everything organised and gives parents confidence in booking quickly and correctly. #### Cons The only challenges we’ve found are with the register and pricing setup. Currently, the register is fixed to sort by surname, but having the option to sort by age group or class would make it much more efficient for our team during busy sessions. Additionally, there isn’t an automated total ticket price for ‘All Sessions’, which adds an extra manual step that could lead to errors if not calculated carefully. These improvements would make an already great system even better. #### Reasons for switching to Pembee We switched to improve customer experience and simplify session setup, making the process smoother for both families and our team. --- ### One of the best - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Faizur R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Sports - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered My experience has been great so far, great customer services who are understanding. The book system in general is fantastic and easy to use. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Customer Service, Simplicity, Communication and Price #### Cons I don't have anything negative to say anout Pembee. --- ### An excellent, easy to use system that offers a good value solution to bookings administration - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Charlie T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Child Day Care Services - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: November 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Excellent, personal, good value for money and an overall great customer experience (for both us and our customers). #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The communication with [sensitive content hidden] and his team has been phenomenal. We have felt supported from the beginning, given a lot of flexibility to ensure the product was right for our business before committing and a lot of follow-up support once we went live (which continues as we try and tweak our processes to improve efficiency). #### Cons As with all systems, there are a few elements that do not fully fit our business processes in the way a bespoke system would. However [sensitive content hidden] and the team take all feedback seriously and have already implemented changes to help support us. Also, for the cost of the service, the small elements we have to compromise on are completely worth it. #### Reasons for choosing Pembee Personal approach and contacts already using Pembee. Much more intelligent software. --- ### Excellent customer service and very user friendly booking system - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Julie H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Events Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Very positive, would highly recommend Pembee. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros We have been very impressed with how easy Pembee is to use compared to our previous booking system (which came from a much larger / longer established booking company) and the customer service is excellent. They are always quick to respond with help and advice, and if we need the functionality 'tweaked' they listen to us and explain if they can do it (and provide a timeframe for delivery) or explain why they cant do it at the moment - or they suggest an alternative work around. #### Cons It would be good if there was an 'app' on the smart phones that we can ask staff to log into. But we have a workaround #### Reasons for choosing Pembee They seemed to have the functionality that we required We could afford them Their customer service seemed good #### Reasons for switching to Pembee They were v v expensive, the price was increased substantially every year and the functionality didnt fit with our business model and they were not interested in helping us. We got the impression that we were to small a company for them to bother with, as they had grown they were aiming for bigger companies with higher spend. And their customer service deteriorated as they got bigger. --- ### Great Booking system, easy for both customers and staff to use. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Nancy O. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Sports - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: November 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Our previous booking system was going offline and we needed a replacement, Pembee worked with us to ensure their system could offer everything we needed to continue the smooth running of our business. Pembee customer support is second to none. Setting up the system was straightforward and there was always someone on hand to help with any queries we had. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Pembee have offered us excellent support from day one, we couldn't be happier with them.The online booking is easy for our customers to use, and it links in well with our existing website. Features like payment links & online registers make it easy for us to keep up with bookings and payments, cutting down on time needed for admin. #### Cons We don't have any cons, the changeover to Pembee was simple and our customers are happy using the system. #### Reasons for choosing Pembee We chose Pembee because their pricing structure was very competitive, and the service & support offered were far better than other systems. Pembee worked with us to ensure we had everything we needed in a booking system. --- ### DC Diamonds GC - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Debie C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Sports - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: September 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I really would recommend Pembee. It has been so much easier to book new customers and manage current customers. It have been a time saver. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros For the past 3 years I have been manually keeping track of customer payments & registers. I had been looking around for a more affordable app that is easy to set up without having to manually import all of my current customers details. With Pembee I just sent the link and my customers did all of the registration. It generated a register and saved me a lot of admin time. I also like that you can add a password so that you had control over who could book and could disable the bookings and set limits. #### Cons A quicker way to move customers to other bookings if they had booked the wrong one! #### Reasons for choosing Pembee The pricing structure and that I didnt have to manually import my current customer details --- ### So easy to use! Customer service is amazing! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jade K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for free trial - Reviewed: May 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Such an amazing piece of software after trialling a few, pembee is very easy to use and has solved a problem that we encountered! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I have easily built this function and then came across an issue, contacted customer service, I got a response in minutes! The software is amazing! Saving attendee details and the add to cart function is fab! #### Cons We would like more image options, a calendar option, but we have been informed that they are already on their way! A live chat option would be really helpful too! #### Reasons for choosing Pembee The saving of attendee details, ease of use admin and user, 'add to cart' option --- ### A system that actually understands how schools operate - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Marco A C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall, a very positive experience. Pembee has streamlined our booking, registration, and payment processes significantly, reducing admin time and improving clarity for families. What makes it stand out is that it’s clearly evolving — it doesn’t feel like a fixed system, but one that responds to its users. For a growing performing arts school, that flexibility is key. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Pembee understands how a school actually operates. The system is practical, not theoretical. Support is fast and reliable, tutorials are clear, and the platform is easy to navigate for both admin and parents. The continuous updates — especially around registration, booking fees, and tax-related features — show that the team listens and adapts quickly to real operational needs. #### Cons Some areas still require a bit of manual workarounds, particularly when managing more complex programme structures or layered communications. As the platform grows, tighter integration between features and slightly more customisation options would make it even stronger. --- ### Best customer support! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Coline B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We have been using Pembee for two years now to manage our school’s after-school activities, and it has greatly simplified the booking process for our families. The transition to Pembee was very smooth, and the platform has made registrations much easier to manage on our end as well. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros What I appreciate the most is the responsiveness of the team. [sensitive content hidden] always answers my questions incredibly quickly and is consistently helpful in finding solutions for what I’m trying to set up. It’s rare to have that level of support. I highly recommend Pembee to any school or organization managing activity bookings. #### Cons Not a lot! Sometimes some features are hard to find, the wording is not very explicit but I always end up finding what I need if I ask the customer support! #### Reasons for choosing Pembee it seemed easier and not too expensive... #### Reasons for switching to Pembee because of constant glitches on our website --- Showing 1 - 10 of 23 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/event-booking/pembee-profile/reviews/) ## See what companies are saying about Software Advice
