Sprout Studio

What do you like best?

This software not only does all of your client experience management, but it also does accounting, payment processing through most major processors, and it has really fast support. It's very easy to use, unlike a lot of photography management softwares that have a big learning curve. I got all of my studio setup within a few hours.

What do you dislike?

I really can't say that there's anything I dislike about it, at this point. They have a great Facebook user group, where you can make suggestions for new product features and find out about new features they're implementing. So if there is anything you dislike, you can always suggest improvements there, and they ACTUALLY LISTEN.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Spend several hours in the trial, and I promise you will find it so incredibly easy to implement with your business. I tried ShootQ and found it very difficult to get setup, and it was also lacking in accounting capabilities and online proofing. Sprout has it all. I was able to downgrade my Zenfolio membership and save $200 to put toward the Pro membership with Sprout. It made so much more sense.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

It has made me tremendously more efficient as responding to inquiries, sending contracts, sending invoices, etc. And it also makes me look more professional, by having beautiful graphic email templates that you can customize with your brand.
