There are tons of settings that can be modified to suit the specific needs of your organization and many additional areas/fields in the system to collect specific data on courses, students, and payments. A lot of the modifications can be made with ease and without the need for additional support for technology administrators. > > **Cons**: Nothing that I can think of. Any problems that I have personally had with this software have been due to a lack of knowledge on my part and/or a lack of additional technology resources within my organization. With sufficient training and organizational support, I believe this product can be adjusted to meet all of my needs. > > In the beginning, I struggled with Student Manager because I didn't have sufficient (or any) training from my organization and had to self- teach. Over time, I have learned a lot about the various functionality of the program, with the use of the convenient online user manuals, the regularly-scheduled webinars, and the ease of contact with the ACEware staff. In the last few years, there have been constant upgrades to the system which have made the system more user-friendly and has added more functionality. While I am still not using the system to its full potential, I am learning more about it every day and slowly implementing additional features. I believe with the right about of technological support from my organization, this system will be able to meet all of my registration and record-keeping needs. ----- ### "Auburn Montgomery User" — 5.0/5 > **Brittany** | *13 September 2016* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Endless possibilities with names, registrations, courses, rosters, receipts, payments, etc... What ever data you put into the system, you can pull it out on to a report. Aceweb allows you to have multiple interfaces to meet the needs of different program areas. If you have one program that has different policies and cancellation policies, give that program a separate online interface and it can be customized to fit that programs' needs. > > **Cons**: Our organization just switched over from a FoxPro version of the registration system to a SQL version of the registration system. We have come across some issues switching versions of the registration system, but everything is fixable and we are well on our way to having our system running smoothly. > > I have been working with ACEware Student Manager for about 9 years. This registration system is so powerful that you have endless possibilities for course management. Aceweb the online portion of the registration system is very helpful with basically being a 24 hour employee. You may have registrations occur over night. With our experience we stay organized for our programs and we are able to contact students on a regular basis and keep track of returning students. ----- ### "Student Manager: the Good and the Bad" — 3.0/5 > **Leslie** | *6 September 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of inputting sessions and courses is admirable. We have found that individuals like the ease of use in registering. The ability to personalize confirmations for each session is a large plus and the pared down options make it intuitive and easy to teach new employees. > > **Cons**: In order for the information to show up properly on our website, some HTML coding must be used, which can cause extra hassle. Our clients are unable to register for multiple sessions/individuals at one time, so they must submit multiple transactions, which can be tedious. The overall look is outdated. > > We have been able to work with the software to make it more user friendly and learn more coding to make registration a quicker process. We have been able to work with their customer service to correct some further issues. Customer Service is quick to handle any issues and work with us to get problems resolved. ----- ### "Sioux Falls Community Education - ACEware" — 5.0/5 > **Melodee** | *20 September 2016* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: As we explore the software further and have the time to attend training webinars, we discover more and more features that we were not aware that ACEware entailed. Our website has been totally made over thanks to ACEware, it is now so interactive, full of photos, video spotlights, links to You Tube, links to other website pages, instructor biographies and headshots for students to view prior to registering. Our customer support - Jason - always answers within 24 hours of any problems or requests we have. I was able to attend the annual ACEware User conference this spring and returned with many ideas and shortcuts. The webinars and archived webinars are so convenient and I cannot wait to implement the shortcuts and changes that I learn from them. > > **Cons**: I cannot think of anything\! > > Sioux Falls Community Education has had ACEware for our class registration system since 2003. When I came into the department, our department supervisor had us look into 2 or 3 different software to replace ACEware. As we explored options, no one had the features we required for all of the different registrations we do. ----- ### "Great product, once you learn tips and tricks" — 4.0/5 > **Perla** | *19 July 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: That most of the information that we need is in this system. > > **Cons**: Some features require extra help to adjust to our specific needs, and even then, it doesn't always work the way we would like It's slow, and often it gets stuck and needs to be closed and started again Coding, maybe not the right word, I'm referring to the abbreviation of the fields, is not self-explanatory and is not consistent. They have many abbreviations for the same field. This makes it very confusing and requires trial and error to see if I'm actually pulling the correct information. > > Overall I'm satisfied. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/267567/student-manager?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/267567/student-manager) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
