They encouraged feedback for the software itself, and the amount of feature support offered seems reasonable compared to competitors. > > **Cons**: We lost thousands of dollars due to their payment processing and business practices. This more than negated any reasons for using it. > > Customers are forced to use their payment processor sister company, and working with that company is very difficult -- we tried to switch bank accounts for over a year and could not achieve this. Their efforts actually lead to us being double-charged for months, despite numerous hours spent on the phone in an attempt to resolve this. When we only paid one bill, we were threatened with termination of service -- not exactly what you want for critical operations. In the end, we were forced to evaluate if legal action was worth the time investment to recoup the money. Eventually we transitioned to other software as a result of this costly and emotionally draining experience. Losing thousands of dollars aside, the software otherwise wasn't pretty or particularly intuitive, but it did generally work. ----- ### "Akada - thumbs down :(" — 2.0/5 > **Elizabeth** | *26 December 2025* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Hi really like how I am able to pay my daughters dance bill online, and i no longer have to go to the studio to do so. > > **Cons**: I am rarely every able to simply logon. It blocks me out all the time and it is really frustrating\! > > In general, I am not happy with the product, I think a lot could be improved. Navigating within the product is confusing as well. ----- ### "Great Software, Easy to Use" — 5.0/5 > **Hillary** | *29 January 2020* | Recreational Facilities & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Our studio uses this program on a daily basis for all of our studio needs (registration, billing, reports, etc.). Its ease of use is great for someone just learning the software and even better for those who use it daily. DanceWorks is also a reliable program. In our 7 years of using DanceWorks, we have never experienced any glitches or errors while using the software. And if we ever have a question about how to do something (for example: running a certain report), the customer service is quick to respond. We highly recommend DanceWorks for all of your studio needs. > > **Cons**: There are no cons to list. We have not had any negative experiences. ----- ### "Great to work with\!" — 5.0/5 > **Dana** | *29 January 2020* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have been using this software for many years and have been very happy. The team at Akada is great about taking feedback and trying to implement changes and customization. The customer service is very quick to respond and they are friendly and kind. I would definitely recommend Danceworks to other studio owners. > > **Cons**: We really do not have any cons. We have been happy with the software and company\! ----- ### "So/So, Better for Beginners" — 5.0/5 > **Samantha** | *30 December 2018* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is a very convenient software to use when managing invoices, costumes, scheduling, FOH, and BOH all in one place. > > **Cons**: The website version of this software is far less user friendly. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/92427/danceworks?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/92427/danceworks) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | ----- ## Structured Data
