5.0 3 weeks ago New

Comments: The Vagaro solution has really exceed our expectations, we needed a solution to schedule, update and follow up our consultants appointments and this tools has become a part of our day to day operations.

Pros:

Excellent tool to book appointments online, very easy to use and implement. Saved us a lot of money increasing the efficiency from our consultants performance. Our [sensitive content hidden]receive confirmations and reminders, really supporting our business.

Cons:

The main issue is the price, I believe it could be a little lower, they charge per user. A free version would be awesome!

Alternatives Considered: Booker

Reasons for Choosing Vagaro: We changed from having our schedules in Microsoft Outlook because we needed a specialized tool that help us become more time efficient.

Switched From: Microsoft Excel

Reasons for Switching to Vagaro: While doing the cost-benefit analysis Vagaro otained the highest value.

Pros:

Lots of services are available in one place, the options are great, cost is very low, you get lots of discounts, interfaces are great.

Cons:

You might experience slowness in Vagaro at times and this is not due to internet. it could be because of the servers but this is rate to happen.

Alternatives Considered: TrueCoach and Weave

Reasons for Choosing Vagaro: Vagaro membership cost is much better, the support is better and it has more services.

Switched From: WellnessLiving

Over the past four years, Vagaro has been a huge help for me!

4.0 2 months ago

Comments: I have never had any problems in communications with Vagaro. They have always sent advance notice when they will not be in the office. Customer service has been excellent with rapid response any time that I have needed them. This is an excellent software to use for someone like myself, who is busy and running the business on my own.

Pros:

Vagaro is an excellent, simple, moderate-budget scheduling tool. There are add-on options that can improve your reach and your marketing, depending upon how much you need. They have improved their scheduling capabilities for fitness studio owners/administrators. As for set-up, on-ramping is simple and does not require long hours of education.

Cons:

I have had a lot of trouble getting the clients to use the software on their end. They haven't found it too user-friendly, but I do work with an older generation. I get about 50% compliance with account and scheduling tasks. It would be so helpful if a video were developed so they can easily set up on their own.

Alternatives Considered: Trainerize and WellnessLiving

Reasons for Choosing Vagaro: MindBody was getting outrageously expensive. And they had WAY too many features that I was not interested in using. It got very complicated, very quickly.

Switched From: Mindbody

Reasons for Switching to Vagaro: Vagaro had simplicity and pricing for a business owner that was trying to simplify her tasks and shrink her business at the same time.

The best choice for anyone who intends to start and establish their own business

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: This program contributed well to the success of my own project represented in a store that provides massage, physiotherapy and physical health services, and since this field of work and the nature of the services provided depend mainly on organizing and scheduling appointments well and regularly and based on medical and scientific foundations, it saved me a lot of effort and time In terms of organization and punctuality to provide high quality services without delay, and it also helped me a lot in good communication with my customers that this program has become for me one of the most important tools used in my store.

Pros:

A pleasant user interface for setting up, easy to navigate, and the possibility of simplifying and customizing it. This ease of use gave the customer a comprehensive idea of the services we offer in a professional marketing manner and in a very simple way, devoid of any complications that may confuse the user, whether for the customer or the service provider. Most customers love how easy it is to book Appointments and get a text confirmation with just a few clicks and here lies the good marketing role of this feature in particular.The possibility of direct integration with the customer's Google Calendar is among the best that this program has to offer, as it has facilitated online reservations and appropriate appointments for people who are busy most of the time.The availability of electronic payment gateways by credit cards has provided many advantages, including ease of invoicing and documentation of payments. It also saved some customers the embarrassment of not paying a tip. By using the card, only the cost of the service will be deducted. With regard to customer service, I have sometimes felt that they may have the same amount of desire that I have for the success of my store, due to the amount of patience they possess. They are always keen to provide the best services despite the increased demand for them.The possibility of re-booking an appointment at the time you find it very appropriate to re-book.

Cons:

There are those who consider the program to have an exorbitant monthly subscription cost, but for me I find it acceptable compared to the services provided .It is not possible to set up multiple services within the store, as we had to set up physical therapy and massage under different employees with the same name as my store with two different Google calendars, which might make it a little messy.I fully understand that this program has a marketing aspect, but the frequent ads sometimes make it very annoying.The inability to print some important data that pertains to the client, such as contact information or my address list, which makes me compelled to copy them manually.The inability to allocate specific days incidentally during one week, in other words. For example, in the event that we have an emergency circumstance that made me compelled to close the store on this day, let us say that it is Wednesday, then when I block this day only specifically from this week only, that is, for once One, it will ban all similar days in the coming weeks, which may result in qualitative changes in appointments and reservations, or accounting errors, as there are many future prepaid reservations that may cause some serious problems , so I hope that Some flexibility will be added in the next updates. We need to add upgrades to the services in a branched way from the basic service without the need to add them separately, as this is better in terms of form and organization.
