Free Trial has no functionality

Reviewed 5 years ago

Free trial does not allow me to set anything up, such as classes, programs... I was particularly interested in how attendance worked.

Pros

No pros were added to this review

Cons

Wasted 15 minutes of my time. There is a feature list on their website that shows what the free trial is supposed to be able to do.

Vendor response

We're sorry you had a bad experience with our free trial and feel like your time was wasted. Unfortunately, since you've remained anonymous in your review, we haven't been able to access your trial account and determine exactly what you had trouble with. Keep in mind that truly testing a software solution like ours takes more than 15 minutes. This is why we offer a 30 day-free trial experience to...

easy to register, difficult to refund or un enroll

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

The calendar feature is easy, allows for easy class registration

Cons

Trying to un enroll or provide discounts or refunds can be incredibly confusing. Also, AmEx is impossible and we have never received any funds that anyone paid by using AmEx.

Vendor response

Hi Meghan, thanks for your review! We will take this feedback to the product team.

Great advancements in short time, but still needs more

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

Seamless. Clients can use any OS or device to submit their information to us, and payments are connected through same. Amilia is a BIG improvement to our previous system.

Cons

It doesn't 100% align with how we operate, so we have to use work-arounds and increase workload to get the job done (working around Amilia's restrictions)

It has been very positive - an easy transition from our paper based system.

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

We actually love most everything. However some of the great features, that we really take advantage of are the installment options, promotions and discounts. We find everything to be very intuitive and easy to use.

Cons

There isn't a lot that we don't like, but we hear from some customers that the user experience is confusing. We would also like a few different reports and/or report options. For example, we use manual attendance and find the attendance sheets are not practical.

Satisfied

Reviewed 3 months ago
Pros

Smartrec by Amilla is what I would call a full service platform. Everything from contact database to payment processing comes with it. Love the registration process, easy from the clients point of view.

Cons

The price concerned me just because our business is on the small-ish side.

All the features I was looking for at an affordable price, and great service.

Reviewed 4 years ago

So far, I've been very pleased with both the software and the support from Amilia. I look forward to continuing to test its capabilities!

Pros

The features and functionality of Amilia are a great fit for our small non-profit community centre, at a price we can afford. Even better, Amilia has a great process for capturing users' suggestions and improving the platform. There are always new improvements happening.

Cons

It is missing one or two features that would be nice to have, but it sounds like they are being worked on. A couple of users have had challenges registering on mobile devices, but the support team has been very helpful in troubleshooting.

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

The many functions of the software are incredible and easy to use on all levels. They continue to upgrade many functions and add new functions, too.

Cons

The Help bubble (bottom right corner) gets placed over top of some data at times. It becomes annoying when attempting to read the screen.

Good

Pros

It is pretty easy to use and train someone on the software.

Cons

The marketing or availability to keep in contact with the current members is not easy to do and costs more money if you want the marketing portion.

Hi Geneviève, thanks for your review! We take customer service very seriously and keep working on making the platform simpler and intuitive. We'll have someone contact you about making it bilingual - there are a few options you might not be using to leverage that.

Amazing! Reduced the number of emails that comes in to the Registrar. We only went live last week.

Reviewed 5 years ago

Less time responding to emails regarding registration questions. - I am able to detail all the required information on the site. - People can easily see which sessions are full and which ones are still available without having to email me and ask. - Loved the waitlist feature so people don't have to email me to be placed on a waitlist. it will also make moving someone from a waitlist status to a registered status so much easier.

Pros

Our customers love the ease of using this software to sign up and select their swim practices with our swim club. Looking forward to doing some data analytics as we collect more and more data with prolonged usage. Although we have not yet implemented club communication through Amilia, this feature will make managing our distribution list a breeze. Browsing through the support centre, I am impressed at the continuous development and introduction of new functionality to this software.

Cons

It does not allow you to modify an activity's property en masse. For example, if I made a mistake on an activity's ledger code and duplicated this activity multiple times with the incorrect ledger code, I have to manually go into each activity and change the ledger code.

Time Saving! Awesome! Easy to Use!

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

Amilia offers our team the best of the best. We are able to collect detailed information from our clients and use that information in various ways. Reporting is easy. Payments are easy. Billing is easy. Easy. Easy. Easy. We love this software and are relieved to have such a great product to work with.

Cons

We would like to have the ability to customize our emails a bit more without having to use HTML. On a few things that are sent out (i.e. waitlist email updates) it is branded more toward Amilia than my company. Would like to have the ability to stay more brand specific to our company and less toward Amilia. This is a product that we are using for our clients - not the company that they should feel associated to.

Great for Teachers

Great. I love having all of my class info at the touchnif a button.

Pros

I can view student rosters, contact information, my teaching schedule and take attendance.

Cons

I think it’s great compared to using paper rosters. I like how it can keep track of all my teaching info in one location.

Amilia is a very responsive and supportive company that takes the time to walk you through the app.

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

They have a very robust app and when I had an issue with displaying things that I would rather see hidden, Amilia responded and fixed it. They have wonderful developers and support staff.

Cons

It is pretty expensive if your registrations are over since they charge a monthly fee AND a percentage of registration.

We value having Amilia as a partner. They're constantly working with us to ensure that we offer our mutual clients the best service possible. Amilia is both transparent and up-front so there's never any surprises when doing business with them. We actually have members of our staff that have used Amilia to register their families for activities. We also have staff members that volunteer for sports...

Amilia review

Reviewed a year ago

It's very versatile and I can see us using it for all our needs, but learning to set it up the best way is a process that takes quite some time to learn.

Pros

The Chat feature has been awesome. Their team is usually helpful within the limitations of the program. They also seem readily improving the software, so they have a place to leave suggestions. I've already seen a few worked on in updates.

Cons

It's a bit hard to understand how best to do a desired program. And I end up having to ask a lot of questions.

Packed with Features & Above Average Support

Reviewed 5 years ago

Better student tracking, more control, better class display options. Most importantly, it makes it easier for clients and students to purchase classes.

Pros

I love the fact that I have so much control over how to present classes, collect payments, and record data. I love the fact that it retains student data, and easily allows me to organize groups and classes. I like that it has some light finance software built in.

Cons

I don't like the fact that the calendar option doesn't function as well. Ideally, I would like that to be improved and expanded upon.

Registration made easy

Reviewed a year ago

Overall, I’m really liking the experience. For the most part, things are running really smoothly!

Pros

I like being able to help clients sign up for the class with ease and even set up payment plans for them so they don’t feel financially burdened.

Cons

Some of our clients have registered for classes but they didn’t see how to pay for the class so it took some instruction on how to pay.

Vendor response

Thanks so much for the review Danielle - happy to hear you're enjoying your Amilia experience!
