I have been very satisfied with Harris. While there are many features for accounting purposes, our district only purchased the payroll feature. We use Frontline for managing employee leave and documents. Neverthless, Harris has been a wondeful way to monitor all things payroll. I love having access to my paycheck prior to it depositing.

Pros

Our district uses Harris School Solutions for payroll. The employee self service software is perfect for accessing information such as Paychecks and Year to Date Earning summaries. Years ago, we had to reach out to HR for this information, however, with Harris, I have my personal payroll information readily accessible.

Cons

The historical data is limited but adequate for monitoring payroll accuracy.

I have had a great experience with SmartFusion, especially at the annual conferences. I learn more each time I attend. The staff are terrific!

Pros

I liked the ease of use in this software. I currently use the accounting modules to enter invoices, check fund ledger's to verify Journal Entries have been posted, Food Service module to enter all monthly information for each cafeteria.

Cons

Grid features in the Food Service module are not available.

Fairly good! There are some reports that you cannot process after you pass a certain point (complete check register) but for the most part you can generate a report that will give you what you need.

Pros

Most reports are easy to read-when you understand how to generate them.

Cons

There are so many features that are unknown to users that you have to request be added. It would be nice to have a monthly or quarterly update emailed each month to describe each feature.

The software is ok, doing what we need it to do, though many functions still don't work after two years of using it. Customer service is ok; if a help ticket is submitted, someone typically gets back to us fairly quickly, but if it's any other type of question (something other than a simple, non-accounting related question), we often get a response saying they'll work on it then not ever hear anything back. The support personnel do not have accounting backgrounds, which tends to be a big issue (setup was a nightmare since the personnel assisting with the transition had not school business or accounting backgrounds). I would have also liked to see this as a true web-based software, like we were promised when initially signing on.

Pros

It's fairly easy to use, someone coming in with limited to no business experience was able to understand how to do basic functions.

Cons

There are some items that are typically included in basic software packages for education that aren't included in SmartFusion. Some of the common sense type accounting items have been left out, as well.

We switched to SmartFusion in 2011. Everything was so much simpler than it was with our previous system. The support staff is great and always works hard to help with any problems or questions we have.

Pros

I love that this software is web based. It has made life easier with having to work from home.

Cons

If I had to pick a con, I think it would be the ability to create some reports. Sometimes there's certain payroll information that I need in one report but instead might have to run a couple of different ones to get the exact info. I need.

I don’t use it very often but when I do it is pretty easy.

Pros

It seems pretty easy but I only use it a few times a month for Title I purchases. All I do is the PO and our County Office takes it from there.

Cons

All I do is create Purchase Orders for special money on this software. The only problem I had was not having enough training and no written manual to refer to if I have a question. I don't use it very often.

Reasons for choosing SmartFusion

County Office made that decision

It, like anything new, has taken a while to get comfortable with but I am getting there. With a little refresher training, I think I will be able to use better.

I most liked the ease of being able to go between screens.

It is not very easy to upload information. I have had to submit information several times to be uploaded.
