The product has a gazillion different features and loves to expand its offering into new industries. They give you access to everything via a robust API and good reporting.

As an enduser I appreciate a clean and easy interface. Easy payments and bookings and canceling.

My overall experience with this app is great. It’s is very user friendly.

Besides the horrible service they have not kept up with technology.

This experience may also be attributed to trying to schedule massages where schedule management is difficult.

It's disappointing on the whole, because I see it as a decent booking system with potential, if they kept up with the times and listened more to their users.

Integration with existing platforms was a little difficult, and getting others to try is has been hard as well.

The company is great, the people are helpful. The software is overpriced and clunky.

The inbuilt marketing functions are absolutely dire and Mindbody doesn't integrate with anything (it's not even on Zapier) so you'll struggle to build a great marketing machine using it.

I cut my losses and canceled the subscription very early after realizing how little help it was in my area.

I mainly used this through my iPad and there were some minor issues where it didn’t seem compatible with the iPad and I would have to navigate the site in a an odd way.

The interface was so old-school, and the customer service was absolutely terrible.

Mindbody is missing several key features such as double-booking options and the option for memberships is pretty difficult to use. MBO is very hard to train new people in using.

Very good experience with Mindbody, it helps me stay in shape and I love all dance classes. It always worked very well for me on my pc, for now I did not use it on another device.

My experience was $500 per month at two locations of nigthmares, frustration, and apologies for clients.

It's a great app when you gym has this kind app for the booking of their gym's class.

The only thing I don't like about this software is how hard it is to find all of your different studios' schedules.

Their staff team is also super helpful and they have many seminars and resources to help build your business.

This software is easy to install and has great customer support if you have questions. It simplifies booking appointments, adding inventory, taking payments and scheduling.

I haven't found any features that I don't like about Mindbody.

Absolutely love Mindbody and how easy they've made scheduling. I love that I can purchase class credits right from their site and I know what experience I am getting each time I log in.

Great for automation for business, also a good tool for user.

Generally I was very pleased in using this product. I haven't needed to use it in a little while.

I like the ease of use, and they were very supportive at start up and roll out.

It is a beautiful interface with lovely pictures and colors.

Each time we call up and try to speak with somebody to help us through something else that is not working correctly, we are given different information that causes more and more problems.

I have had trouble in the past managing my accounts. Since I need different logins for the studios that I visit, it can get a bit tricky.

It was great that our trainer was able to meet with us weekly to help us learn the system.

Really good customer service. Will give you discounts to get you to sign up.

It was the worst experience, afther that company, I had hired another that did the programming in 2 days and I was using it in 3 days at the 50% of the cost.

I took mine via zoom and it was very easy to enter and participate. This is inexpensive (even free if you choose) and you get to stay fit while having some fun.

The configuration and data migration process was a bit confusing and more time consuming then we planned on.

Reporting out-of-the-box is very limited, but an interface with Tableau is available for an additional fee.

When adding a photo under profile, the photo can't be seen 100% after it's downloaded. So for our restricted users, it's hard to view a client’s photo because only the forehead if visible.

There's the ability to report directly from the raw data (from the back end) but this requires a fair bit of extra knowledge to get it working effectively.

Everything was handled remotely so, if there is any complaint I believe it is just not being able to work in person with anyone.

User friendly, flexible, you can design to fit the needs for Case Management Program.

The software can be difficult to configure and test.

This blocks out more time than is real time for clinicians availability.

Overall the staff at Penelope is helpful and knowledgeable. Penelope is pretty expensive compared to many other databases and the software does offer a good bit to help compensate for the cost.

With Penelope, we are able to share necessary client information with other case managers with greater ease and efficiency.

Some parts are difficult to navigate without referring to the written instructions.

Customer support is wonderful. It's easy to navigate with great instructions right there.

Overall really good experience, staff are knowledgeable and great to work with.

Lack of modern functionality, lack of communicating to customers, broken promises with timing.

Penelope was able to offer customizable options and reports (reports are an additional cost) that fit our needs.

Can be difficult to teach new users the organization behind the software, not always intuitive, billing statements are incredibly complicated.

Our particular business pushed the Penelope system slightly out of its intended scope, but the Athena team has been so flexible with us and very creative in solving our issues.

It allows our 110-member staff to record information in the correct categories. We are able to source the data collected from Penelope and integrate it into our excel spreadsheets.

We did have issues where Athena struggled to understand our business model during configuration.

The ease of access to log into Penelope and the extensive help support (trainings, guides available on the website, and direct technical support) are additional key features Athena excels in.

We love the ability to configure Penelope to best fit our organization, and we look forward to the reporting updates in the near future.

Although we are struggling to get Athena software to add some new features that most health care software has already incorporated, such as integrated client sign ins.

The best part about this software is the customer support that comes with it. We were able to customize it with the help of the Athena team to meet all of our case management needs.

We have found great value for money in this partnership.

When we initially utilized Penelope I accidentally delete en entire file.
