It is an excellent product. > > **Cons**: nothing, we are very content with CourseStorm. > > always an excellent experience with CourseStorm. The customer service team is awesome and very quick with their response when having technical issues. ----- ### "Excellent Registration Software" — 5.0/5 > **Teresa** | *25 September 2019* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: \* Ease of initial setup when I first found this software. \* Classes are set up for registration in minutes. \* Classes are duplicated for even quicker reposting. \* Cost is well worth the product value; fees withheld without an invoice. \* Fast and friendly responses whenever I reach out to customer support. \* Customer Reps stay in touch to ask if I am satisfied. \* Customized mass emails to all class registrants. \* Payment process allows for reversals, if necessary, up until class date; this avoids deposit and refund. \* Custom Payment Plans permitted for each class individually. > > **Cons**: \* No name badge template. Possibility of using Excel roster to create. \* Classes default listing is Alphabetical vs. Chronological. \* Probably other concerns but no time to find them while the product is working so well. > > I found this software online accidentally at 4 am in January of 2018, and it had me hooked me within minutes. The more I read about it, the more I loved it. CourseStorm gets our classes noticed with an option to add inviting pictures. The customized payment plans have been exceptionally smooth when registering and collecting payments. ----- ### "A small company trying to make a big difference" — 4.0/5 > **Tom** | *08 August 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: CourseStorm has an easy to use front end for the customers. Total time to complete a registration is kept to a minimum and check out is usually very straight forward. Starting up and copying new sessions is very easy. Taking payments works really well as long as it isn't complicated by use of different cards or a combination of cards and checks. Emailing out to groups works really well. The look of the online catalog is very positive. > > **Cons**: There are still some features that are either in need of implementation or need a more intuitive implementation. Each season that passes, some of those have been addressed, but others remain. Registrations from year to year (we do youth camps) are hard to update things like t-shirt size or current grade. Not easy for either the parent or us admins. And rebates or mixed payments can be very difficult to integrate at all. If a registration fails a credit card payment and wants to send in a check, there is no way to integrate that activity. You either have to cancel and restart the registration and use a promo code to allow for the payments received to date or take the check and let it continue to show as "failed payment" for every. And I mean for ever. Also needs to allow for age restrictions for registrations, we run summer youth programs and keeping campers in the right age group is important, something that parents sometimes don't notice or choose to circumvent. Would also like to see notifications and email ability for other than the single instructor and the registrants in a program. We run camps with several staff members and it would be good to have all staff members get the outgoing email blasts for a particular program, a feature that doesn't exist currently. > > We've used 3 different vendors for camp registration software and have found CourseStorm to be the best combination of ease of use and affordability. We haven't tried them all, but for the most part we have enjoyed the experience. Service has been helpful, except when the answer has been "we haven't implemented that feature yet" ----- ### "Not for music schools" — 2.0/5 > **Marge** | *06 December 2022* | Music | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Online sign upDigital collection of payments and information > > **Cons**: The overall cost of this was much more expensive than the software we ended up switching to. Especially if you start having to do refunds\!There is absolutely no ability to control your brand, aside from having your logo on the page.You could do what the software does with a Google form and a Venmo link, and save yourself the 7% plus credit card fees plus whatever usage cost they have. In fact, if I had a Google form, I would have had significantly more control over the info I was getting and how it was being categorized. It would have been so much easier to have just done it in house. > > We use the software for our soft launch in the summer semester of our school. We used it for 3-6 months, And then switch to something different. It was a huge choice, as it took a good amount of time and effort to get the coursestorm platform actually set up. But in the end, we are so much happier with what we have now.This software would be great if you had Just a few events. If you're offering 5-8 classes that run for a full semester, then this is pretty easy and convenient. If you're running a larger entity, with several different teachers offering several different classes, it's just going to get way too out of hand and unmanageable. ----- ### "General Review" — 5.0/5 > **Kim** | *21 July 2022* | Maritime | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how user friendly it is for the customer. Also, I am very please with the customer service and their willingness to work directly with us to help make it even better. > > **Cons**: There are some short comings on the back end of the software but CourseStorm is working directly with us to make it even more user friendly. We have a complex registration process and they are doing everything they can to make to program even better. > > So happy with CourseStorm. From the onboarding to the support after, they are responsive, friendly and willing to go the extra mile. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/159668/coursestorm?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/159668/coursestorm) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
