Most of the data points are minable and you can create almost any report that you need. > > **Cons**: Although the speed of the application has increased over the past years, there are many tasks that take moments to complete, rather than instantly. ----- ### "Fantastic Upgrade from our old program" — 5.0/5 > **Catherine** | *20 November 2018* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that it is cloud based and interactive with our parents and staff. We have only scratched the surface of what iCare can do and already it is lightyears ahead of anything else we found. > > **Cons**: There is nothing about this software that I don't like-it loads fast, the tools are easy to use and I can access it from anywhere. If we come across something that needs to be tweaked to work better for our program, the response from iCare is great. > > I have been a school administrator for over 15 years and iCare is the software I have always dreamed of having. Automated features, parent engagement and lightening speed. I used to wait on hold forever to reach someone, not iCare, they are so wonderfully tech savvy\! Messaging, screen sharing, phone or email- I have all the support/access I need. Thank you iCare\!\! ----- ### "Icare is the worst\!\!\!" — 1.0/5 > **Candice** | *26 July 2022* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nothing, it is full of bugs and bad coding. The IT guys think they know about accounting. They get offended if something isn’t working. Big language barrier and they refuse to actually help. > > **Cons**: Everything, the accounting part angers me the most. THE SOFTWARE DOESNT WORK RIGHT\! > > Extremely negative. Unfortunately we are dragging through the last couple months of our “commitment” ----- ### "Wouldn't want to go without it \!\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Greg** | *13 January 2016* > > As the owners of a 7 day a week center with over 500 children, my wife and me decided to search for a better way to run our business. We brought ICare online in November of 2007 and it literally changed the way we do business. We were using a DOS program and had to enter weekly and daily charges in manually. For years, we did all attendance and food program for the children manually as well. Staff attendance was done with punch cards that required us to calculate hours before issuing checks. Now that we use ICare, we can quickly and easily run the reports we need and tuition is billed automatically. Overtime is calculated during the day ending process every night. Staff times are calculated and the report makes payroll a breeze. Reimbursement for childcare and food through state programs are easily justified since ICare organizes the information for you in simple reports. Over the years, I have requested tweaks and upgrades to the software and have been very pleased with the response/results I get. Because of ICare, we are able to keep payroll to a minimum and track everything that needs tracking with amazing ease. I would recommend ICare to any one in the market to simplify and streamline their business with software. ----- ### "Perfect for tricky deployments" — 5.0/5 > **Maer** | *4 August 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have a very specialized set of requirements, and iCare was able to address them all directly without bizarre workarounds. > > **Cons**: Have not found anything to yet, but we are in the deployment phase > > The \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] and deployment team are fantastic. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/279194/icare-management-software?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/279194/icare-management-software) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
