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 appreciate there positive energy and true commitment to serving nonprofits. Great customer engagement and training.
- It is a great solution for a clean, user-friendly registration system and app, that is still friendly to budgets. The app specifially is very easy to set up and use and has great engagement tools.
- I was amazed by all the features in this app. And the ease of use for each of them I used it for a recent Nursing fair.
Cons
- Whova technical support was asking for screen shots to trouble shoot the issue. I ended up refunding over 50% of gross receipts to dissatisfied customers.
- The one comment I have it removing the new notifications on the home screen. I hate having them there and could not get rid of them even going through every single article multiple times.
- Pretty horrible if you have to explain an audience of 1000+ people that the app was down for >1.5 hours mid-conference.
