I also think the customer service is top notch\! > > **Cons**: I wish that we could make the notification emails more aesthetically pleasing and add more content. Right now the notification emails are very basic. > > Working with SchoolAuction.net was been a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend them to someone looking to do an auction. ----- ### "Easy to use during the event" — 5.0/5 > **Trent** | *21 July 2019* | Fund-Raising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Mobile/Tablet compatible, SaaS Intuitive, very little training for volunteers. Very easy to integrate credit card processing connection. Help videos to show volunteers. Extensive text-based help database as well. Multiple users at once; admin can set permissions. Option for online auction. > > **Cons**: Some signage/descriptions signage was only available in one export size/orientation and it wasn’t our desired size. Can’t add new user while in the screen to add new item. Must switch menus. Indicator for volunteer at check-out to pull certificate needs to be larger and/or a pop-up should be utilized. Managing seats at gala tables; doesn’t indicate well when particular table hits capacity. No option to suppress unavailable physical bidder paddle numbers (when using existing paddles). Silent auction tab sheet doesn’t continue to a second page for more entries. No place to include other expenses from event so we can build complete picture of our success. > > Those of us tasked with entering items and organizing were done so far ahead of schedule compared to prior years, that we had to go back and correct issues that arose later. Next time, we’ll just be patient. A good problem. ----- ### "School Auction Review" — 5.0/5 > **Carabeth** | *27 February 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: School Auction is a great platform\! We started using it for our annual auction and it was a game-changer for our school. It's super easy to use and set up. > > **Cons**: I feel like the website that you can create for your event could be a little more robust. You can change the colors but the layout options are limited. > > We solved our school auction with this software, I loved it because we mostly use volunteers to staff the event and it was very easy to have people with no previous experience with the software use it that evening with ease. ----- ### "Worth the learning curve\! Switched from software we had been using for the past 20+." — 5.0/5 > **Renata** | *29 July 2019* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to import info from previous software. Intuitive and generally very user-friendly. Good for those who can self-educate - lots of video tutorials and a comprehensive help center. Very quick customer service response through email. > > **Cons**: Some team members struggled with the lack of phone support. We had an issue specific to our gala-style event, and thus I would not recommend this software for an organization whose priority is finding a seamless way to handle guests with regards to tickets, tables, table captains, and comped tickets. We were able to find workarounds but it got a bit confusing and we weren't able to use the reports and analytics that would have otherwise been very helpful. > > We really enjoyed using schoolauction.net and will continue to do so for our school gala/auction event. In fact, we were so pleased that we are looking at how we might be able to use it for other events as well. There was a learning curve, especially for those team members who aren't especially tech-savvy , but the majority found it very easy to use and were thrilled that we made the switch\! ----- ### "SA.net user since 2014\! So easy to use for our school fundraising that I started using it for work." — 4.0/5 > **Melanie** | *10 July 2019* | Music | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's incredibly easy to train volunteers, capture all of the info that I want from users and guests, and process guests quickly on event night. > > **Cons**: It's often slow on weekday afternoons, hard in the weeks leading up to events. It's a bit of a long and clunky URL. > > I'm entering into my seventh year using SchoolAuction.net, and I continue to recommend it to others. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/35851/schoolauction?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/35851/schoolauction) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
