SARS has served me well, I am not aware of other tools that do what SARS does.

Pros

I love that SARS is much better at appointment management than Microsoft Outlook. SARS can even manage walk-in clients.

Cons

SARS doesn't seem to integrate well with our other data management tools at our school and it's not free

Pros

I use sars in my role as a counselor at Oakland Community College in Michigan. It is great for scheduling appointments, logging notes on the appointment and chatting live with my colleagues during the appointments ( if needed).

Cons

The interface is a little arcane but is getting better with each version. The functionality is great!

I have used this software since 2002 and graduated to their various aps to satisfy our needs. We have grown from 4 locations to 36, which have all been customized to the needs of each department. We also use SARSTrack and their waiting list to text students to return when they hit number 3, additional info flags and the import ap to help identify students with holds on their records, the reason code linker to connect workshops to only those counselors teaching a particular workshop, and exchange to upload the data from SARS into Colleague.

Pros

I like that SARS is always evolving to keep up with changes that are constantly being made in our funding formula. The grid helps to keep everyone organized and on time.

Cons

I cannot run a report of the end users without the archived people being included. I believe this is on their list of fixes.

The overall experience has been great. The upgrade from the old product has made this leaps and bounds better. Overall the interface hasn't drastically changed which is a good thing for most users. While it lacks some new design elements of modern web design especially for the student experience, overall it function vs price is great making it a tremendous value.

Pros

\- Ease of use - customization of roles/security - customer service - technical support - familiarity - browser based - cheap video conferencing cost

Cons

\- limited report customization - user experience (especially for students is still somewhat dated) - notifications require modular purchases (separate product)

The best experience is with staff. Whenever we have difficulties, staff are always willing and able to assist us quickly!! SARS Anywhere is the absolute best program!!

Pros

SARS Anywhere is easy to learn and work with.

Cons

I wish we could run a report showing the exact time and location of each counselor for each day. Counselors can submit timesheets and we must guess where each one was working since the counselor may work at several locations on the same day. Was it Hanford, General, Tulare, etc.?

The software solves so many of my campus needs and the support we receive is top notch! We own nearly every piece of SARS possible minus one component and I wish we had purchased it instead of what we did for early alert, it would have saved us a huge amount of money.

Pros

The fact that I can do so many things with the software to solve all our campus scheduling, tracking and communication. It performs all that I need it to and more!

Cons

Nothing I can think of, it is one of my most dependable software packages.

We are using the product to track advisors, tutors, students, study room utilization, study hour requirements, lab use, equipment use, counseling, and appointments by prospective students.

Pros

SARS Anywhere is a very straight forward program, which allows a great deal of customization, but does not require it. Because it's locally hosted the data is in the clients hands, not the company's. But since it's browser based, it has the look and feel of an externally hosted product, which many students like.

Cons

The reporting tools are a bit lacking. Because of data siloing at this organization the reporting tools provided were insufficient for our users. But because it's locally hosted, we are able to write direct queries and export the data to other reporting tools.
