Pros

“Creating website forms is easy and workflow is fairly intuitive. ”

Restaurant Systems Engineer

“Integration with calendars. ”
JN

John N.

General Manager

Pros

“It’s also worth noting that we introduced the added complexity of operating within Google Workspace as our primary communication and storage solution—unlike the majority of users who rely on Windows and Outlook.”
SH

Sandon H.

Operations Manager

“It has made a huge difference in keeping track of our enquiries, we are now able to run reports and look at our revenue easily.”
JJ

Jess J.

Wedding Manager

“Anything which doesn't work as we would have hoped has been discussed with the support team and quickly/efficiently rectified.”
PF

Paul F.

Director

Cons

“The customer service reps seem to not know the platform very well, or will answer questions and tell you that you can or can not do something but forget to tell you what steps to take to do it, lastly the chat customer service reps will not provide any help to get you through the modules and tell you that you need to watch the videos and take the test or that you should email with any questions that you have.”
JY

Jennifer Y.

Owner

“There are sooo many glitches that I couldn't actually get much work done because of the huge learning curve.”
