A software designed for schools, course providers, and tutorial businesses, onCourse for Mac stands out as an easy-to-learn system for comprehensively tracking and managing information in an organization that deals with students and classes. Using this app's built-in CRM tools, you can schedule and market new classes to students with just a few clicks.

Pros

Comprehensive automation: With onCourse for Mac, all you need to do is input or edit data. This software makes it very easy for you to generate or view reports and update classes or courses. Even your Web site can be automatically updated with it.

Feature-rich: This comprehensive student registration and class tracking system provides a wide range of features packed into an intuitive interface, including a general ledger and invoicing system.

Marketing and communication tools: You can use this app to efficiently market your school, new courses, and special discounts and promotions to students by sending them e-mails or SMS -- a function they can always opt out from.

Cons

Requires the installation of both server and client components: If you plan to use this app without having a Web site, you can't avoid the need for installing both server and client parts.

Report generation cannot be cancelled: Generating reports involving massive amounts of data takes a relatively long time. If you detect a mistake, there is no way to stop the report creation -- you just have to wait for the report to be completed. It would have been better if this app had a button for cancelling a generating report.

Bottom Line

Solid and effective, onCourse for Mac looks promising if you're running a school, tutoring center, or other similar educational organization. It offers a wide array of handy features, although you do need to get through the server and client installation and configuration steps if you have no plans of using a Web site with it.
