" December 10, 2017 5.0 Pros It's very versatile, easy to use and is great for keeping track of all aspects of my student information. Cons Monthly fee to use the program. Limitations on the number of students / customers that you can add to the database. Review Source JN Jennifer N. Owner Used the software for: 2+ years ### "So much better. I left a previous review, couldn't edit it so I'm here to say it's def improved!" December 8, 2017 4.0 I think it depends on the type of program and needs you have. But it's a great program compared to others I've tried. Pros Studio 2.0 has been working hard on fixing the bugs. Adding features and are great at customs service now. I love the potential of studioware 2.0 Cons It still lacks a bit of feature I'm looking for. I'd love to filter and see actual currently enrolled students and make session-based classes easier to create. I've had a lot of issues trying to make that work and nothing has stuck that isn't a lot of work yet. Review Source Response from QuestWare December 11, 2017 Thank you Jennifer, for the review of Studioware. We listen to our customer requests, and add enhancements that are important to our customers. Filtering students is one such enhancement that has been implemented, Documentation: https://support.studioware2.com/kb/a104/enrolled-students-filter.aspx MM Michel M.

Pros Love that it keeps records of all our accounts and makes the sending of emails and accounts calculation so automatic and seamless. Also love that birthday letters can be set to send automatically to students without having to remember to do it. Cons Cannot find old invoices easily, so if somebody pays using old invoice number there at present is no quick way to find it like on old system. Also the older system automated family discounts whereas on new system they need to be put in manually. Reason for choosing Studioware Can’t remember but saw some others that were unaffordable.

Despite some technical glitches I encountered, the Studioware team was able to help me promptly, whether it was through email or text messages, which was very convenient. It is a very easy system to navigate, which makes it easy for anyone using it to pick up. Pros I like the ease with which you can create the student's accounts and the ability to due bulk payments or charges. Cons It had some glitches when making email templates, where I wasn't able to create my own templates. Yet, I do not know if these issues were fixed, as I haven't had the time to work on that part of the software. Reason for choosing Studioware We were using Studioware 1.0 since 2012 and it was a straight forward transition to Studioware 2.0 as we knew how to work the software and all our information could be transferred from one to the other.

We had fraud activity on our card we use for payment. Their support system was amazingly fast and always present. No being on hold or waiting for callbacks. Pros It's simple and easy to use! I've never had issues trying to learn the system. Cons no dislikes at all. The system is created for ease and convenience Reason for choosing Studioware It's the easiest to use Review Source EMP Eva Marie P. Director Performing Arts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ballet School helper!" July 31, 2019 5.0 I am enjoying the software, I need to actually explore all that it can actually do for me. Pros Studioware 2.0 is user friendly and easy to navigate. Cons Some of the features are not yet implemented. Wish I could print class rosters of all classes at once, rather than having to go back and forth between classes. Review Source RJ Roxanna J. Owner Performing Arts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "wonderful " August 2, 2019 5.0 Great Pros Love the ease of this software for my dance studio. It’s amazing to have it all in one place. Cons Building classes are not as user friendly as studioware 1. Review Source AH Ann H. studio manager Performing Arts Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Studioware 2.0" July 29, 2019 5.0 Pros Ease of use Easy transfer from previous software Cons Initially I had trouble talking to Support. I got the impression that there was only one person working Support and that if he was unavailable, I couldn't get help. That, I hope has been rectified. Review Source LN Leon N. Owner / Manager Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Line Dancing Classes" July 28, 2019 5.0 My records are more accurate of WHO my students are - their contact details and what Lesson program they on. Pros I can keep a record of my student Lessons and payments - have weekly record cards for them to sign when attending a lesson. Know who has paid and who not. Cons Still learning how to use it - once we have more answers it will make our lives so much easier. Nothing I do not like!!! Reason for choosing Studioware Studioware 2.0 seemed easy to use - I'm no computer fundi..... gives me options and reports of what I need. Just need some extra training to understand a few things. Will not change to another!!! Review Source MB Maria B.

Try each system first. Studioware must be on your trial list. Pros Best value in terms of functionality, ease of use, configurability, set of features and cost. Can be easily configured to support any business model in our sector. Accommodates multiple revenue models, very strong invoicing functionality and an excellent customer self service portal. After implementing this system our paper enrollment was reduced to 2% of all students. Online payment processing is now used by 70% of our customers. Excellent time saving and automation of administrative overhead for us. Communication module gives this system an excellent customer service edge. We use it for all email distribution to current and prospective students. Cons Ability to build custom reports would allow us to slice and dice data for analysis a bit better. However, I am not sure if any other similar system allows for custom reporting either. Review Source LS Louise S. Director Performing Arts Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good system" August 2, 2019 4.0 Able to invoice, enrol and track students through the system Pros Nice Presentation Ease of use Good Support Cons Reporting - cannot export information to Excel Some small issues with various parts of the system Review Source DG Darla G. Used the software for: ### "Invoicing is confusing for parents" March 10, 2015 3.0 This is a good value program, however, the invoicing needs much improvement! First, when parents receive an invoice all they see is what is being charged without a running balance. If they are invoiced for 3 months, it shows all charges for 3 months and if they want to know what their balance is through month 2, they have to add it up. Also, when they see their total due, they only see what is due through that particular invoicing period. If they had paid a large chunk, it says they have a $0 balance, even though they still owe for 7 more months! If you have 2 parents paying equal amounts, it will bill for half but if one parent pays ahead, the balance gets divided in half and it does not keep track of what each parent paid Billing is the most important reason for us having this and it is a bit of a nightmare when parents start coming in and complaining about their bill. The customer service is just not readily available and you will need to pay if you need help after your initial set up. Review Source JC Jason C. Owner Used the software for: ### "Great Program, Even Better Support" January 11, 2013 4.0 Overall this is a great, and very solid, program for tracking students, student accounts, and classes. It is a great value too compared to other cloud based accounting type programs. Customer support is awesome. Pros We run a dance studio that sees 100-150 students per year through the door and find Studioware very easy to use and we were able to get up and running very quickly. Invoicing by email with PayPal payment option works great. Bulk processes automate data entry (i.e., tuition generation). Customer support has been awesome (they restored 80 accounts I mistakenly deleted). Can't beat the price. Cons Missing some of the features of the pricier dance studio apps out there. Would like to see some things be more configurable, like discounts, and more customer relationship management features. Review Source Similar Products Featured
