" July 10, 2018 5.0 Pros I like that everything is in one learning management system. Budgets, class lists, discipline forms, and the school calendar are all in one spot. I can easily email groups of parents with one click. I can see what my past report card comments have been and track student attendance. In the past we have used several learning management systems for all of the previously listed items and it was a lot to learn at once. This makes everything much smoother. Cons I have multiple sections of the same course. I am unable to email them all at the same time, which is something I wish I could do. If I want to email all 4th grade parents it requires me sending several emails through veracross. Our previous learning management system let me check off which classes I wanted to email and I could send a bulk email to all of my courses. This is a small inconvenience in an otherwise great software. Review Source LN Lisa N.

July 3, 2025 5.0 I am an edtech who manages students, courses, grade levels, divisions and directories in veracross. We had an easy transition from our old SIS and the courses offered by veracross were helpful for training faculty. Parents find it easy to see student grades and news updates. Pros It's a great student information system. I'm easily able to toggle between my roles at the school and find the system to be seamless both as a parent and as an employee. Cons I wish there were a way to merge the calendars I like onto my google calendar. Right now I am able to import everything into veracross easily but there's not a way to export calendars that others put in onto mine. Switched from [PowerSchool SIS](https://www.capterra.com/p/154883/PowerSchool-Student-Information-System/) We wanted a more robust platform that offered more student management features.

Controller Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Veracross - great for independent schools" April 5, 2024 5.0 I would highly recommend Veracross, it is a great accounting software. The accounts payable system is pretty easy to use as well. The FA module works great too. And I've received great response help from the online help ticket system. Sometimes you need to wait a bit, but typically the help is very fast. Pros I am a true fan of Veracross, I've worked with a lot of accounting software in my 4 decades of work. And I found Veracross so user friendly. Cons When we installed Veracross it was during COVID and I felt that the training was unreasonable timetable. It would great, if that was the only thing that you had to do was to train on this software, but we were working through COVID, the PPLoan and everything else. Then after the training, the trainers moved on if you had a question you had to reach out via email and wait for someone to respond. Switched from [Ascendance Software](https://www.capterra.com/p/56929/Ascendance-Software/) Senior was outdated and was a whole system which is where we wanted to get to. Review Source RR Reanna R.

October 6, 2020 4.0 When I first started using Veracross, I really did not like it. I thought it was one of the most difficult platforms I had ever used. My previous CRM was Netsuite, and this was like a night and day comparison in regards to userfriendlyness. However, after using Veracross for about a year, I can honestly say it has grown on me and learning how to do things on this software that was not possible or much more difficult on Netsuite, has somewhat changed my mind. This is my first experience at a school, so I'm not sure whether there are other software systems that are easier and better than Veracross - but so far I have really grown to like this one and their support team has made using and learning how to do things on the software very easy. Pros I really like the Query feature. It's very usefull for generating reports based on specific criteria. As a school, we often need to pull a list of students based on certain things and this feature makes it easy to do so. I also love their Support team. I always get almost immediate answers to my support tickets. They provide screenshots and make it very easy to understand how to do something. I love the upload feature. Uploading Journals or even Student Charges make it much easier to do than doing it manually - very time saving. Cons There is not a lot of room for error in this software, but that can be a good thing also. It is not as easy to edit transactions once something is posted... so you need to go through a few hoops in order to reverse and fix. It's extra work, but it forces you to really think before you post something, and is better for auditing purposes. I think fixing the way a payment is applied should be easier. Parents can often pay the wrong invoice by accident. Once a payment is applied, it's a bit difficult to reapply that payment to another invoice.

The Query section is very useful if you know what you are looking for. Easy to download to Excel Cons \- The latest version (online) is better than the previous software version, but is very slow, even with high-speed internet. - On the Query section, if you search for a field on the search option, the same results appear. This is confusing because if you are running reports under the Development module but your search field you selected is Adminission, then the result may be different. The field search specifies the source (Development, Admissions, etc) but it's very cumbersome to navigate. - It requires training to understand the system, which represents a cost for the organization Review Source AL Amanda L. School Nurse Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Veracross Review - Nurse Perspective" February 10, 2023 5.0 Wonderful! Pros Makes finding student/parent information simple and efficient; As a nurse, I often find myself needing to get in contact with a parent fast; Veracross makes it simple to find parents and relatives contact information; I can also copy and paste emails from lists that help me send out mass emails to specific grades; Cons I wish the staff address was in the same tab as the phone number; Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Development Associate and Marketing and Communications Coordinator Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Robust CRM for schools" August 31, 2018 4.0 I work on the development at a private school. We use Veracross for our donation record keeping. Pros A one stop shop for all CRM and data needs for private schools. I work in the development office, so it makes keeping track of donors, donations, and development goals easy Cons It is a full-fledged CRM, so there is a steep learning curve to utilizing all of it's features Review Source TH Trevor H. Director of Technology Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Choosing Veracross was one of the best decisions we've made and we've been using it for 7+ years." July 17, 2017 5.0 We were able to streamline support across all our offices using Veracross. In addition, the system has so much functionality that we no longer need to do any physical mailing. All communication with constituents, as well as paying bills/fees and making donations, is handled online through Veracross. Pros Veracross provides a single web-based system for all of our offices (admissions, development, finance, student records) and constituents (teachers, students, parents, staff). Having one system to support (as opposed to multiple interconnected systems) makes things much easier for everyone. In addition, the feature set is very extensive and allows us to customize things as needed. The company is constantly adding new features and listens to requests from users. Finally, the support is better than any software company I have ever worked with.

I would recommend it to others in the nonprofit education arena. Pros The query functions are very powerful. You are able to search based on various attributes. Very useful. Cons The ability to have outfacing forms on our website without needing to create a record needs improving. Review Source JR Jason R. CIO Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We are very happy with Veracross as a comprehensive information system for our entire school." August 14, 2017 5.0 We benefit, daily, from having a totally integrated campus database system that requires not shuttling of data between modules and products. Pros The company leadership takes client feedback seriously and uses it to improve their product. Time and time again feedback our school has provided to Veracross has found its way into the product. They also excel at understanding the needs of schools and how best to integrate data across departments and divisions. Cons Some modules and API data availability are not where they need to be but this has improved in recent years. Veracross also needs to improve upon their support program. We love the single point of contact but at times it is limiting in support response speed. Review Source AS Andrew S. Chief Information Officer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I feel like Veracross is a true partner of my school. " August 10, 2017 5.0 Pros We have been able to transfer so many manual, offline functions into a more efficient place with Veracross. When we first implemented Veracross, we intended it primarily for academic and admissions use. Over the past four years, however, we have been able to extend its use to everything from enrollment and reenrollment to sign ups for our writing center. It's powerful and flexible. Cons We pay a lot for Veracross, but the partnership that comes with it is worth the price. In the beginning, some of the documentation left something to be desired, but that's come a long way recently. Review Source kB kim B. CFO Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Accounting Software User - Absolutely horrible and completely inflexible software" December 12, 2017 1.0 Pros other areas are okay such as admissions. Cons I have continually been pitched this software to be used as an "all-encompassing" school software. This is fine for anyone that does not need to do real accounting. Even Quickbooks handles accounting more accurately. Absolutely horrible! Every report that is basic in accounting has to be "custom made". I STRONGLY recommend you look elsewhere for a product if you do not want to do the majority of all financial statements and analytics via excel. I suspect a non-accountant designed this part of the software and is why the flow of information is so poorly executed.
