“convenient registration but dated interface”
Pros
Entering sessions and courses is pleasantly easy in my experience. I've found the registration process simple to use and I also appreciate being able to customize confirmations for each session. I find the aligned design especially helpful when training new employees.
Cons
To get information to display correctly on our website, we still have to use some HTML coding which adds unnecessary hassle. Clients also can't register multiple people or multiple sessions in a single transaction so they end up having to complete several separate purchases which gets tedious. On top of that, the overall design feels outdated.

“Helpful data all in one place”
Pros
Most of the information I need is available within this system which I find very useful for my day-to-day work.
Cons
A few features need extra support to be tailored to our specific needs and even then they do not always function the way we want. The system is also slow and it frequently freezes so it has to be closed and reopened. Another issue is the field abbreviations. The coding is not very simple or consistent and there can be several abbreviations for the same field. That makes things confusing and leaves too much room for trial and error when trying to confirm that I am pulling the right information.
