The general layout and look of the program feels basic and outdated but otherwise once I learned it, it was fairly easy to use. ----- ### "Versatrans Is Awesome\!" — 5.0/5 > **Ryan** | *11 February 2020* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Versatrans is capable of solving all of school bus management needs. > > **Cons**: It is expensive compared to other school bus software. > > Versatrans is great for routing students, managing daily routes, student data recording, vehicle maintenance managemtn and much much more. ----- ### "Versatrans review" — 3.0/5 > **Doug** | *14 May 2019* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Functionally, it is just OK as a routing program. Certainly it does everything that it needs to do, as long as you know what you are doing. > > **Cons**: I feel the program is clunky and single dimensional--meaning, it can seemingly only do a single task, as you have to close out windows to get into other parts. The program is a little more expensive annually than it's competitors. Support has something to be desired. > > We use this daily in our operation and have for many years--as a school district. It is more complicated that it needs to be, but we unfortunately will not be changing any time soon as it is time consuming and costly to change. ----- ### "Versatrans, not my first choice" — 4.0/5 > **Geary** | *9 June 2020* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use, installation was very fast > > **Cons**: After implementation there were many hidden expenses to maintain > > Everything went well the first 6 mos then began receiving bills for data updates ----- ### "VersaTrans review" — 5.0/5 > **Stan** | *4 October 2018* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Product is very informative. Helps track students' locations. > > **Cons**: The interface is not the easiest to figure out. ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/121684/versatrans) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
