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 also love that your customer service takes feedback and requests from me and other studios and is continually improving to better serve our needs.
- Their customer service is some of the best I, personally, have ever received (Pam is awesome!). They respond quickly to any questions we have and their staff is very helpful, knowledgeable and kind.
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
- I love the compliments I receive from my clients because the ease of use and all the information I can provide to better prepare clients for their appointments.
- Like I mentioned before they have such amazing support, and training videos, and how to articles. It's incredibly user friendly.
- They continue to update and improve it all the time, and have very good live customer service, which is so important when there is an issue that needs immediate attention.
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.
