8 reviewers had the following to say about Veracross's features:
Pros
I can see what my past report card comments have been and track student attendance. In the past we have used several learning management systems for all of the previously listed items and it was a lot to learn at once.
Cons
I have multiple sections of the same course. I am unable to email them all at the same time, which is something I wish I could do.

I work on the development at a private school. We use Veracross for our donation record keeping.
Pros
A one stop shop for all CRM and data needs for private schools.
Cons
It is a full-fledged CRM, so there is a steep learning curve to utilizing all of it's features

However, after using Veracross for about a year, I can honestly say it has grown on me and learning how to do things on this software that was not possible or much more difficult on Netsuite, has somewhat changed my mind.
Pros
I really like the Query feature. It's very usefull for generating reports based on specific criteria.
Cons
It is not as easy to edit transactions once something is posted... so you need to go through a few hoops in order to reverse and fix.

We benefit, daily, from having a totally integrated campus database system that requires not shuttling of data between modules and products.
Pros
They also excel at understanding the needs of schools and how best to integrate data across departments and divisions.
Cons
Some modules and API data availability are not where they need to be but this has improved in recent years.

Pros
The information is always available without any data hostage.
Cons
This is confusing because if you are running reports under the Development module but your search field you selected is Adminission, then the result may be different.

Pros
other areas are okay such as admissions.
Cons
I suspect a non-accountant designed this part of the software and is why the flow of information is so poorly executed.
