Iris Works has streamlined so much of my client communication process. I love it.
Reviewed on 2018/05/18
Pros
I appreciate that all of my clients' information can be stored in one place. From contracts to invoices, I don't have to worry. I also love that emails can go out automatically so I don't have to remember to send clients updates and reminders.
Cons
I wish Iris Works allowed you to do wedding day timelines, like HoneyBook does. I'm also not a huge fan of the way the lead forms looks. They don't integrate with my site well.

I made a large investment and purchased the annual subscription to Iris-Works. During this time, I experienced multiple issues with software performance and lack of customer support. A deal breaker issue was that I had multiple clients unable to pay their invoices on this interface. Iris-Works customer support was unable to troubleshoot in a timely manner or even provide a permanent resolution. These issues and their lack of urgency to provide support, negatively impacted both my business standards and my customer service to my own clients.
Overall, I am disappointed in the level of support, communication and performance of Iris-Works. A customer management system is the lifeline of your business. As a business owner, you deserve a superior system, attentive support and clear communication. I strongly recommend avoiding Iris-Works, it will not be a positive experience or partnership.
Pros
Online scheduler was easy to use
customized workflows
Cons
level of customer support and communication
multiple issues with software performance with no resolution

Best studio software out there!
Reviewed on 2019/03/12
Pros
I like how the software keeps me ahead of the game, on top of tasks and payments and makes it look like I have everything together when presented to my clients.
Cons
I really didn't like setting up the software but it was actually really easy. There are tutorials walking you through everything you need to do, a live chat option for questions and a Facebook group for instant access to updates and helpful hints. I think there is a paid version where someone can set it up for you which would be helpful if you have the money. I am just stubborn and wanted to do it myself.

Very User Friendly
Reviewed on 2019/01/03
Pros
I love how easy it is to use Iris! Before finding iris, I tried many other sites/compaines which where very tricky to understand. I came across Iris at WPPI and so glad I did, I gave it a try for a couple days before committing to it and loved how easy it was to set up a new client, add a contract and send an invoice to them. Also love how I can connect my gmail calendar and have a one calendar system.
Cons
Only wish I could separate my clients by weddings/corporate/portraits.

Pros
It is specific to my field (photography)
Cons
It still have many functions that I would love but it is slow to add them. I would love for it to be more like hubspot in the features area but still relatable to the field.
Also, they dont have a way to download all your contracts at once, it is one at a time only and if you dont pay your yearly fee you wont have access to your old contracts if you wanted to switch companies- making it almost impossible to leave them.

All client info in one spot.
Pros
I love that it has so many options. I love how it is fairly easy to navigate. It has contact information, and click on the customer to see all their information and forms they have submitted. I like that you can see the emails you have sent them.
Cons
I would like for it to let me see the entire forms that are submitted. I wish that the clients/leads had a way to see from the dashboard when it was submitted/ converted and/or booked a session.

Reviewed on 2018/05/15
Pros
Love that it has a location feature, other sites do not have this. I also love that you can customize your client profiles with pictures and the ease of the client questionnaires.
Cons
Don't like that this software doesn't handle taxes or revenue easily. I am looking for a software that does it all.

Overall great tool but has room for more functionality and improvement.
Reviewed on 2018/05/15
Pros
I love that it keeps everything organized for me and has an easy to view calendar. I really like the automated parts or the workflow.
Cons
Needs more functionality and detailed items to make workflow complete. Currently I'm still doing workarounds for things that I think should be easy updates.

Pros
The ease of invoicing, sending, taking payments, and keeping client info organized is so worth the cost of this subscription.
Cons
I would love to see a phone app, so you can stay logged in. Or log in with the thumbprint.

Signing up with Iris Works is like hiring an office assistant for less than $30 a month. It does my scheduling, my emails, my reminders, my thank yous, my invoices, my contracts, keeps all my client data organized, etc. Saves me a good 6 hours of work each week. I can't imagine my business without it now!
Pros
It's such a time saver and it keeps me organized! My clients appreciate the prompt and reliable communication from the automated emails.
Cons
It's ALMOST fully customizable. Almost, but not quite. If it were fully customizable to my own personal needs, I would have zero complaints at all!

Client notes and email automation. I think it would be extremely beneficial if they had one on one with someone that shoots what you shoot when you do set it up because it can be confusing. The videos do help, but they aren't specific for certain photographers. I only accept 4-8 newborn sessions a month and when I go to book a client I have to put their due date in as a tentative holding spot and then move it around when we book the session.
Pros
I love that it offers automated emails and the client notes are very handy! The customer service is exceptional and I can't say enough about that.
Cons
However, I wish there was a way to make a custom invoice for gift cards or other things that aren't on the "menu". I wish there was a way you could send reminders every 24-48 hours if they don't pay/read the emails/fill out the questionnaires. I also have had issues with it hiding in my client's spam folders so I always have to mention that it's coming from my client portal and then they ask me what the email it will be coming from and it can be a bit of a hassle. I wish there was a way to set up a payment plan or allow a partial payment as well.

Pros
It's easy to set up and use. Quick for me to set up a client and send an invoice as well as easy for my clients to pay.
Cons
I wish it had a few more features. When it comes to doing my sales tax if there were more ways to sort the months and categories that would be helpful. Also if there was a way to put in appointments and then send text reminders to clients automatically that would be amazing!

Pros
I loved how the company transferred my clients data into their system for me. They have an easy to use platform and it allows you choose what type of sessions you offer in a customized look. It has good customizable email templates and makes them look very professional, which saves time.
Cons
That the contact page does not allow you to require a phone number. It also is not trackable by google ads or google analytics. I also wish they had an app for you phone as well.

Time saver and business organizer!
Reviewed on 2018/05/18
Pros
There are many features that I love about Iris however, my three favorites are the scheduled emails! I love knowing that my clients will get the email reminders prior to their session. I can schedule Multiple emails to go out at various different times to get them thinking, planning and getting ready for their session. I also love the customizable questioner that you can send to your clients- I love how it keeps them organized with the client so I can see when and if they have completed them. Lastly, I love the adding attachments feature to the custom emails! Makes it very professional and concise!
Cons
I wish there was a scheduling calendar option that clients to see what availability I have, then book on that!

Client information, good calendar and location software. Organization.
Pros
Professional look to the emails and invoices. I like the saved email templates and workflows. It saves so much time and headaches! Storing all the activity in a timeline is great too.
Cons
You can't write an email without having to draft a template, so it's more difficult to send quick correspondence. Sending auto emails is confusing when they are sent out. It would be nice to have a confirmation email or a blind carbon copy sent to us so that I can verify the email has been sent. The annual subscription is excessively expensive. No accounting software, only invoicing.

This program helps me with time management and organization. I can do pretty much everything I need to do through Iris Works, which is awesome. My life is pretty hectic and keeping myself organized and streamlined is worth its weight in gold.
Pros
I love how synched everything is. There are a couple of features I would add, but they take user requests into consideration and are constantly working to improve and incorporate our requests into it. The customer service is both quick and helpful.
Cons
My only complaint at the moment is that you can't do a payment plan setup with invoices, but I think that is something they said they are working on.

Reviewed on 2018/05/15
Pros
The product was a game changer for me when I was switching for the first time to a CMS, helps alleviate loads of otherwise time taking tasks.
Cons
As I've used it for a long time now it's not growing with me as I'd like it too. I find that I am using Evernote and Trello and Calendy AND Iris when I'd like to be just using one platform to manage my clients. The hardest things for me are non-customizable things, such as specific timing on items, as well as actual task lists and due dates that are managable. Plus I find it's only usable on a computer - would love to be able to access it more redily on my phone.

A great tool for organizing my photography business.
Reviewed on 2018/05/21
Pros
I like having my scheduling, contracts, invoicing and email workflow information all in one place. Iris helps me look like a well organized professional to my clients.
Cons
There are some features that could use some improvement. Invoices seem to pull and be noted on their creation date, which is a huge problem for accounting purposes. Nothing matters until payment is collected, thus payment date is most important to track.
I would like to see scheduling opportunities, not promises of it.
Payment integration is ok but a bit clunky when relying on invoice tracking mentioned above. Invoices should be able to be connected to the initial contract email so clients aren't receiving multiple messages at once.

Iris Works has been the best decision I have made since starting my business.
Reviewed on 2018/05/18
Pros
The booking features including work flow, questionnaires and contracts. The business side of my business has never been so easy. I feel like I can stay on top of tasks without anything slipping through my fingers under the radar. Totally game changer.
Cons
I still haven't figured out invoicing through Iris but that's probably user error and lack of trying. I also haven't used the goals metrics yet. Overall I'm very happy with everything Iris has to offer!

I love iris works. I did free trials fot many different programs and iris works is the easiest, most cohesive option.
Pros
I like that iris works is all in one. It keeps almost all of my client info/buisness info in one place. Easy to use, and everything is branded with my company logo, so it all looks so professional and cohesive. I also LOVE the new booking feature.
Cons
I wish it integrated more with shootproof for galleries, or had its own galleries to use so it would truly be all in one. It connects clients to galleries, but not to any purchases the client makes through those galleries. If this could be done, and maybe also add in a section like quickbooks for tax purposes omg it would be absolutely the perfect software. I would pay more.
