Pros/Cons
Pros
- LOVE LOVE LOVE this software. I used another very un-user friendly before finding Studio Director and I couldn't be more thankful.
- I love the inventory and ability for an online store. I love the recital/performance planning ability.
- I love the ease of the user interface. It's very intuitive which is helpful when trying to figure out a new feature.
Cons
- It is too expensive especially when charged extra by the Studio Director.
- Inability to apply SPLIT payments with Autopay feature. Inability to select ACTIVE, INACTIVE, or PROSPECT for each family/student (which results in paying for inactive students).
- The only worry with that would be missing someone, and it creates extra work- which was what we were trying to avoid in using TSD.
Pros
- Everything so far has been excellent. I am so happy to have this all ready to go for use and excited to use it.
- I am extremely satisfied with Vagaro and all supports in place. I recommend it to colleagues in the field.
- They LOVE having the ability to see their schedules from the personal smart phone/ tablet when they aren't at work. Our client's LOVE their texting reminders.
Cons
- Sometimes the card reader doesn't connect which is really frustrating because then I have to enter the credit card information by hand and get charged more. That's extremely frustrating.
- I spend countless hours a month combing the system for these errors and it makes our company look incompetent to our customers.
- Sometimes it's difficult to find what I'm looking for. That can be frustrating when I'm with a client.
