I moved to a new software system and the cancelling process was a nightmare. All in all they just want your money and don’t want to give you a premium service in return. Pros I enjoyed the basics of it and the color coding. In the beginning when my salon was smaller it was good enough. Cons The customer service and lack of innovation. They did not stay up with the times. Once my salon got bigger the marketing lacked, the online booking features lacked, the customer service lacked and it just overall was meh. Switched from [Vagaro](https://www.capterra.com/p/153752/Vagaro/) At the time envision came highly recommended as my salon was growing.

I deal with credit card transactions and payment gateway regularly. I'm the "go-to" person when anyone has questions regarding EnvisionNow. Pros Great color-coded daily scheduling, overall easy check in and check out process, fairly simple to learn/teach the basics, allows for multiple service options, nice in-store gift card tracking, very helpful support staff, sweet phone app. Cons Filtering for reports is too much work and often confusing, inability to assign recipient to online gift card purchases is a REAL problem, glitches in credit card transactions, printing errors due to issues with google chrome, z-out and end of day isn't always in sync from one computer to the next.
