We are currently using Veracross for three reasons, the first is our need to organize weekly distance training with professionals in the area, the second is that we had flaws in the admission processes and Veracross is decisive that all stages of this process , but the other reason to stick with Veracross is the integration with a vast number of third party mail tools like Mailchimp, Google, Microsoft and other great tools.
- Good administration of the admission process.
- Integration with Mailchimp.
- Normally it has everything I need for my work, today I was able to make a video call and chat from my cell phone and this adds more positive points to Veracross.
- Administration of admissions from the beginning to the end.
- Robust integrations with third-party tools.

I work in an educational management company called "Teachables" where we offer students crash courses on lengthy syllabuses. We use local tutors and connect them with students who are in need of the service. While we were in business, a major problem we faced was having a proper information flow between all the tutors, students, parents, and company employees. We were looking at many learning management software as well and when we were at it we luckily came across Veracross, which happened to be a fully integrated school information system that connected all the students, tutors, parents, and the company administrative staff.

- Increased employee productivity.
- Increased time saving.
- Increased cost reduction.
Veracross had so many unique features that stood against other similar software and learning management systems which compelled us to buy it over the rest. Features like the ability to create our own customized reports according to tutor/parent specifications help us to offer exactly what is needed while constant Email reminders make sure that we never miss a single email. Also, the ability to take attendance from any device makes everyone's schedules more flexible. Considering all these features it was our aim to buy this software and test it out for our company.

Expensive, but worth it... take the long view of your data
Veracross is our new school information system. It's replacing Blackbaud's Education Edge. We're implementing Veracross over a 3-year period... year 1 (now) is the school data (gradebook, attendance, school directories, etc.). Year 2 is our Business Office implementation (replacing Sage50) and Year 3 will be the Advancement Office (replacing Blackbaud's Raiser's Edge). Blackbaud announced that they were sunsetting Education Edge and we found their replacement platform lacking so we went through an RFP process which resulted in the selection of Veracross.
- mobile-friendly portal for staffulty, parents, and students
- built-in or easy-to-configure integration with other systems (for example, RankOne and Naviance)
- targeted messaging based on data within the system
- "where is student now?" is one-click away
- it's easy to get data OUT of Veracross but their data import features could use some improvement
- they recently changed their knowledge management and help desk system and are still experiencing some growing pains with that platform (for example, I believe that any error message a system throws should be easily and readily searchable in the KB; that is not currently the case)
- it's early but we've identified some inconsistencies in some displays and while many displays offer a field to specify the sort order, some important ones (teacher schedule, for example) do not and it's a lot of cognitive load to decipher some of those (seemingly unsorted) screens. Sorting by an internal ID field that is not controllable, not editable, and not over ridable (with a sort key) is a poor choice.
- single record for the life of the individual (applicant to student to donor to parent)
- ease of integration with third-party platforms
- well prepared and well executed training modules

- tasks that used to take 30 minutes can take as little as 30 seconds (I'm not exaggerating)
- it's a complex platform so there is signficant investment in both training and data preparation (for conversion)
- it's really expensive (but over time will pay for itself with systems we can sunset and attrition that we don't need to replace)
Veracross had superior support, training, and integration with other systems.

Veracross
We use it in advancement, student and family data, communications, and student report/class management.
- Student and family data is easy to keep up to date. And there is so much data that you can keep track of. It is so helpful to have all data in one place so we don’t have a human error in transfers g to another system.
- Recording donations is very easy and you can attach backup documents very easy which is great during our yearly audit. All records are in the system and can be pulled at anytime.
- Easy for parents to sign in to view and edit their own information as well as view student reports.
- In the development module, it is often hard to pull reports because there are so many ways to do it. I work around that by saving reports I often pull so I don’t have to constantly rebuild reports.
- The communications module, Composer, needs a major upgrade. It is not very user-friendly and there are not ways to edit or design modern and good-looking emails and newsletters. Not a lot of formatting options.

- Since we put all donor records in it makes the audit process with the business office much easier.
I actually prefer NXT, but Veracross is much better in student data and records that I have kept it so we are all using one system.
