It was great. I found it a little expensive, but maybe that's because I couldn't use it to it's fullest potential. The customer service was awesome. Whenever I had an issue they took care of it right away. If I called them and didn't get through they would return my call even if I didn't leave a message. They were always pleasant and willing to help in anyway possible. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Their customer service was excellent. When I started my business it was useful. #### Cons The merchant bank services started off well, then little by little they continually added extra fees and chargers. This was one of the reasons I left. Another reason why I am no longer with RainMaker is because I am not in the martial arts industry so it was challenging to conform this program to what I needed. Although it was useful and an excellent resource for the martial arts industry I eventually had to find something more in educational industry. #### Reasons for choosing RainMaker I was just told about RainMaker when I started my business and went with that. --- ### Rainmaker to use it right? or waste? - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Chris L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Pretty good. I still use it for many years. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros There are a lot of functions that you can use. I can say too many. it is all hidden #### Cons It is little complicated to use it. Hope there are many more of resources to use it easily #### Reasons for choosing RainMaker More things to use . --- ### Very complicated to get started with, overcomplicated steps to perform simple tasks, software issues - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Chris L. - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered ability to take attendance and have member information in one place, although accessing it takes multiple steps because the database is not user friendly #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros The calendar feature is the best! Scheduling on the calendar and then being able to transfer those contacts directly to members if they enroll is very usefull, although it takes about a million steps because everything is overcomplicated in this program #### Cons Has some software issues that renders the statistics feature and the client survey features so inaccurate that they are practically useless. i have contacted the support crew about the issue on May 11th 2018 and have been messaging them every time the problem interferes with my work (which is practically every other day) and the issue is still not resolved. it is June 25th and i am still waiting for a solution, very unsatisfied. Many other features are over complicated making it annoying or difficult to do what you are trying to do. There is a steep learning curve because they made the whole program so complicated to use so it is not very user friendly. They try to make up for that by making tutorial videos that are upwards of 20 minutes long, but if they simplified their features while maintaining all of their functions the database would be soo much better. I dont know about most people, but i do not have to watch hours of tutorial videos to use complex designing/editing software i have never used before, so i do not understand why it is a pre requisite for this program. --- ### the greatest system ever!! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: neven h. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

I also like the home screen and how it gives me a financial outlook all in one screen. #### Cons I hate the calendar. It is extremely hard to use and I don't because of that. I wish it were more user friendly and allowed me to repeat the appointments instead of entering them individually --- ### Kicking myself for not doing it sooner! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: James T. - Product usage: Used unspecified for unspecified - Reviewed: May 2016 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Rainmaker is such an awesome program. It does so many different things and I am finally ORGANIZED in my follow-ups!! I just set it and forget it and it works like freaking magic. It allows us to do in-house billing, take attendance, send out our weekly communication emails (and track who is receiving them and engaging with us, too) and it allows us to run a great variety of reports to help us keep track of what's happening in our school each week. The dashboard gives us a quick birdseye view of what's going on in our school, and shows us how many people opted into our website (we use FCOM for our website, which is integrated with Rainmaker and the two work BEAUTIFULLY together)! The gang at Rainmaker has been SO helpful in helping us learn to use the program. I had my staff up and running on it in just 10 minutes, and they probably know more about it than I do now. Don't wait any longer, or YOU will be kicking yourself for not doing it sooner. Jump on board and watch it RAIN in YOUR school :) #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 --- ### NO OTHER OPTION Than Rainmaker - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: William P. - Product usage: Used unspecified for unspecified - Reviewed: May 2016 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I've used them ALL. Full Service, bare bones, cloud based, cd-rom (yeah) based. If you run a martial arts school, you are WASTING time using anything other than Rainmaker, period. I've run multiple schools, hundreds of students and pushed hundreds of thousands of dollars through rainmaker over the last few years and it's hands down the best. Take it from another martial artist. STOP listening to other companies say why their software is "great". It's NOT tailor made for you, and Rainmaker is. Look, I know I sound crazy. It almost sounds like a fake review. But the freaking pain and suffering I endured for a decade of operating schools before Rainmaker came along was the worst, and I know you feel the same thing. It CAN be easier, it SHOULD be easier, and Rainmaker makes it easier. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 --- ### The Best in school management software and service! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Tom C. - Product usage: Used unspecified for unspecified - Reviewed: May 2016 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I'm not one to change so quickly. I was using software that was outdated, yet was able to do what I though were the basic needs. In today's ever growing market, basic needs just doesn't cut it. RainMaker does. This software puts you in touch with your customers, keeps you updated to the minute and handles everything one could ask for in school management, including billing! The service is excellent too. I highly recommend this software company to all of my colleagues and anyone looking to grow their business. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 --- ### Hands down Rainmsker is the best ! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jeff G. - Product usage: Used unspecified for unspecified - Reviewed: May 2016 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Rainmaker membership software is the best I've ever used and I've tried a bunch of them. Very intuitive, all the most important info is on the first page, so at a glance I know what's going on in my business. Seems like every week there's something new and improved, and on the rare occasion when I need help customer support is right there. Very quick to respond and get things taken care of right away. 5 star software across the board couldn't run my two locations without it! Happy to be a Rainsker. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 --- ### AMAZING PROGRAM - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Chad W. - Product usage: Used unspecified for unspecified - Reviewed: May 2016 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I have had a ton of different martial arts software over the last 15 years and RAINMAKER is by far the best software program out there! The costumer service is top notch and the site is super easy to get used to. I have recommended this site to other school owners and they switched and can't thank me enough. RAINMAKER runs your entire school and has great features like the email flows and text message option. I will never stop using RAINMAKER!! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 --- ### Great Software - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Carmen C. - Product usage: Used unspecified for unspecified - Reviewed: May 2016 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered This is a great Martial Arts software! We have tried many and haven't found any that could fit our needs as much as RainMaker does. I did not give a 5 star review only because there are a few things that are not set up exactly how we would like them. An example would be the profit generator forms, we would like more information from our clients when the fill the forms out. Other than a few little things though, it is great! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 --- ### Rainmaker is a HUGE time saver! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Raymond C. - Product usage: Used unspecified for unspecified - Reviewed: May 2016 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Rainmaker has saved us so much time with keeping track of students, ranks, accounts, payments, testing, attendance, employee time, students giving feedback, etc. If there is anything that you need to do that you can't figure out they will take care of it and make sure you can do it as well. The customer service is quick and thorough. There is nothing we have found that we need that Rainmaker can't do for us! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 --- ### Takes the place of one staff member - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Todd S. - Product usage: Used unspecified for unspecified - Reviewed: May 2016 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.
