Adam K
School Director
5.0

Adam: Hi, my name's Adam. I'm a music school director, and I would give My Music Staff a five out of five rating. For more reviews like this, click below. So before I was using my music stuff I was using a mixture of Trello and also a mixture of Google Sheets. And to be honest, I needed a software that could do everything. So organized teachers' timetables, but do some of the accounting and some of the invoicing. And so those really weren't cutting it, and also the timetables were just super messy. And so actually to have a software that had everything all in one was awesome. Another reason and feature I really liked about My Music Staff was the online resources. The fact that we could stick all of our resources and books and all our music material on those places that our students had access to all the time. No more kind of running out of sheet music or homework getting eaten by the dog, we now had a chance to just send digital sheets to our students so they always had access to those resources. So the transition, moving away from what we were using for My Music Staff was pretty simple. There's lots of FAQs on their website that really helped. And they also had really good support staff that could answer questions as and when I had them. So, it was pretty seamless. So yeah, it's great. If you are an independent music teacher or if you are even just a small school like us, I would highly recommend My Music Staff. It's just got all the resources you need in kind of one package, and that's why I love using it. I don't have to use different setups and different programs and different softwares to do the one job that I can do with My Music Staff.

Maria H
Dir. of Admin and Finance
5.0

Maria H.: Hi, I'm Maria. I'm the Director of Administration and Finance at First Presbyterian Church in Lake Wales, and I give Connecteam five stars. We used to be using a different online time clock program, but I was notified that the price was going up by 50% about a week before that date. I started looking around because we're a non-profit, and I saw that Connecteam had extremely high ratings. And so that's why we tried it. I really liked the idea of the idea of the geofencing because our church is kind of spread out in a couple different buildings. And the nursery workers were able to go right to work, and they didn't have to come by the office all the time to clock in and out. Same thing for the custodians, if they were ready to take their lunchtime, they could just clock out or clock back in. The geofencing was amazing. It also worked for our secretary, who would take deposits to the bank, and she could clock out there on her way home. And then, as an administrator, I could approve it, and she did not have to come back to the office to clock out or anything. It's very easy. Even our custodian, that's a little challenged when it comes to using electronic devices, after the first day, she just loves it. It's very easy. I like the reports. And the tech support person that did help me finalize a couple things on setup was just amazing. And the best part of it all is, since we have less than 10 people on the program, it's free for us, which is a help for a charity. And we all love it. I did have a little glitch on startup. There were a couple things I had questions on. We are a small company, and I wanted to make sure that I got it set up just right. And I was able to sign up for 15 minutes or so with one of their tech support people, who was just amazing. So setup went very seamlessly after that. It's just a great program and very easy to use. It gives us all the information that we need. So Connecteam is perfect, I think, for either small companies or large companies. It is so filled with just different things you can do with it that it would handle multiple locations or just a single location with just a handful of people. So I would say, definitely give it a look, give it a try. It's an amazing program, and I think you'll be very happy with it.
