Executive Director Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Studio Director has made registration & bookkeeping so easy and the customer support is outstanding" November 28, 2017 5.0 Pros I love the automatic billing and payment plan feature.

Lots of reporting features - I love that I can request new reports and they are usually implemented. Cons I wish promo codes would allow users to receive a discount when they enter the code and it could be deducted from the payment due. Review Source RJ Rebecca J. Owner Fine Art Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great for a start up" October 5, 2016 4.0 As a new dance studio this program has really helped me put a lot of important information together in one spot. I have been able to focus on running the business and getting more clientel because I don't have to wait for people to call so I can register them they register themselves on line and can control what their child is doing. This has been extremely helpful in that everyone is in the correct class in the computer and everyone is able to access any information they may need. The program is fairly easy to set up, even with my computer illiteracy I could manage on my own. Pros That the parents control their own accounts and can get the information about tuition and dates that their child is in class through their account. It is nice to be able to handle other business without needing to worry about this. Cons Managing discounts for classes could be easier, it was not simple to find where to insert the information and when I have made adjustments to students tuition the discounts that should automatically change don't.

March 15, 2016 5.0 The Studio Director has been an invaluable tool for us in managing our studio and communicating with our students and families. The interface is easy to use to set up classes, payments, student, family information, and so much more. As our studio grows, we've appreciated the report tools to manage the volume of class and student information in our database. We really like the email tool, with enhanced graphic and layout options, which allows us to create professional email communications to our students and families. The technical support we've had from the Studio Director staff has been phenomenal, and they've been able to resolve any questions or inquiries for us within hours, not days. There is so much flexibility to this tool, and as we expand our business, we are able to take advantage of more features of the software. We definitely made the right decision in choosing Studio Director to manage our studio information. Review Source CD Cindy D. Program Registrar Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "It's easy to understand and navigate" June 27, 2017 4.0 Pros The detailed family account page. I like how easy it is to navigate between the parents and students information.

Review Source Response from OnVision Solutions June 27, 2017 Hi Cindy, If you go to the class page that you are looking to do attendance for all at once, you can choose "Attendance, Make-ups & Drop-ins" in a blue box on the right side of the screen to record attendance for everyone at once instead of going to the student's pages. MS Ms. S. Studio Director Used the software for: ### "Great Software!" September 11, 2014 5.0 I was in love with the ease of use of this software immediately! It is very user friendly and I didn't feel like I had to have a degree in computer programming to operate it. I had been with another program that was highly rated for tow months. The customer service couldn't always help me. I would call hoping to speak to an individual but got a recorded message. Instead of them calling me back, they sent an email. This happened time and again. Started using Studio Director, got into a jam, called and they actually returned my call! They helped me in layman's terms and I was able to continue working in the software. It took me over two weeks to set up the previous software, but only a week with Studio Director. Mind you, we have a small studio. Anyway, I am very pleased. Review Source MF Melissa F. Admin and Ops Associate Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I think Studio Director is great! " July 18, 2017 5.0 Pros I love the ease of the user interface. It's very intuitive which is helpful when trying to figure out a new feature. Cons The amount of clicking that needs to be done to upload documents to a profile. I find it could be an easier process. Review Source KS Karsia S. Owner Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best Software Out There!" August 21, 2016 5.0 I have tried 4 software program and this by far has been the nest experience. Customer service is excellent and the software is very easy to use. Pros There are so many... Mainly this software is very user friendly. Cons I wish there was a way to block out entire weeks for holidays. I also wish the waiver option was immediately following the dancer info page. Many of my clients don't know it is there. Review Source EL Elizabeth L. Owner Fine Art Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Service!" June 21, 2020 5.0 Pros We appreciate Studio Director as our software. Learning curve is simple, Service is exceptional! Cons Nothing to List for this category. Review Source RT Rachel T. Kaplan ACT Tutor Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Nice Way to Manage Dancer Account" September 30, 2020 5.0 The Studio Director has been a very convenient way to submit dance class payments. Pros The Studio Director allows me to make payments for my student's classes, as well as see her financial history. Cons Sometimes, I find it difficult to interpret the financial data and it is not always easy to tell which payment type is selected. Review Source SP Shelly P. Used the software for: ### "Best choice I ever made for my Studio!" November 15, 2016 5.0 I looked at several programs before finally making my choice to go with Studio Director. I am glad I looked around because when I finally found Studio Director, I found everything I needed in one package (that all the others were missing). It has been worth every minute spent learning and every penny spent on services! Support is fantastic! Rates are fair and reasonable! I find it very user friendly and my customers love being able to do business on-line! I am just sorry it took me so long to find. If I would have known about them sooner, I would have switched a long time ago. Hands down, THE BEST program in the industry! Review Source MD Monique D. Director/Manager Used the software for: ### "Great Platform to Use for Class Organization" April 12, 2016 5.0 The software is excellent for class organization and is good for email communication to members and prospects. It is easy to read and operate as a layman. Con-Billing Issues: not being able to separate out registration fees based on seasons, sibling discounts not applying between seasons. Unable to run auto pay and specifically separate to unpaid charges. Customer Service Issue: Phone calls are not answered, a message is left then a call is returned within one hour. It is inconvenient based on time zone and class operating times. Customer service is great when connected on the line with a representative. Review Source AS Angelika S. Used the software for: ### "One satisfied customer!" November 15, 2016 5.0 For the first six years of our school existence we used a different software until I had it with those unlogical features. I wish we would have used The Studio Director from the start. We're now in our 4th year with this software and it couldn't get any easier but it does. They listen to our complaints and suggestions and update the software every few months to make it easier to use or to add new features. We're very happy to use it -every day! Pros That we can do anything within our business with it Review Source SQ Sallie Q. Used the software for: ### "Customer Service is GREAT" June 8, 2016 4.0 I frequently have questions on the best way perform various functions in the database. Customer Service is consistently knowledgeable and timely in their responses. I sincerely appreciate the lengths they go to in making sure the customer understands how to get the most out of the system. While the system is relatively user-friendly once you know the basics, having Customer Service there to help for the specialty functions is really helpful - especially Steve, Sharon and Pam. Review Source RF Ruth F. Used the software for: ### "The best customer support ever!" September 30, 2016 5.0 When we switched over to Studio Director I was worried that I wouldn't have support in changing my system of billing and running my studio. I shouldn't have worried because Studio Director has the most responsive support people ever. They always get back to us within a couple of hours and they help us understand things in a timely manner, which is very important to a busy studio. Thank you Studio Director! Review Source RH R. H.
