User Testimonials
	ACTIVE Education (ACTIVE Net)	Blackbaud Tuition Management
Likelihood to Recommend	Active Network, LLC Really like the appearance of reporting and the web booking. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Blackbaud The way Blackbaud Tuition Management handles the charges and how accessible it is makes my job much easier. I love that parents can see the same view of their account as I have when entering/reviewing an account so that it doesn't sound foreign when I try to explain something to them. SC Sheila Crotwell Student Accounts Manager Read full review
Pros	Active Network, LLC Separation of payer and the person attending the activity. For example: children incur charges, but the parent is responsible for paying them. Fast - in our old system there was a delay while customers waited for the system to respond. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Blackbaud Website is easy to navigate Customer service is very professional and helpful Multiple options for making payments and setting up accounts Incentivized Kim Norbeck Admissions Coordinator Read full review
Cons	Active Network, LLC I really like the look and feel of ActiveNet Reporting, but it isn't extremely customizable. Maybe there is something I am missing, but other employees have shared that same feedback. It would be nice to have the system synchronize with other software we use. (EMS, StarRez, etc.) When planning conferences, we currently have hotel guests and registration that we would like to share information for through each system. Currently it is just double data entry. Would like to be able to add more resources and details to a room booking and have the corresponding departments be notified of the order/track inventory.

Alternatives Considered	Active Network, LLC ACTIVE Network allowed: grouping of classes, good interface, allowed importing of records, complex payment plans, per class fee structures, user fees, and trial classes. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Blackbaud I use FACTS in my role at work, and my children's school uses Smart Tuition. I am more familiar with Smart Tuition as a parent, but it seems to be a good solution for the high school. Since we do the financial aid in-house at my school of employment, FACTS works better for us. Incentivized Kim Norbeck Admissions Coordinator Read full review
Return on Investment	Active Network, LLC Not sure yet. It is newer to me and my department. Double data entry which is just extra man hours. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Blackbaud Online access is key Multiple payment options are great Since there are so many payment options we receive funds faster SC Sheila Crotwell Student Accounts Manager Read full review
