Pros

Escapia made setup super easy and has always provided great support while keeping the cost affordable. They continue to release new features and products annually to assist property managers.
We enjoy the self paced online tutorials for training new staff members. We are glad they have streamlined the Glad to Have you product directly into Escapia.
The reservations section is very good, distribution partners, and support is great to communicate with. Trust the software and never reporting for reservations.

Pros

Easy to use, good connection with few platform, good user friendly design. Some of the features are good.
The customer support is excellent and they are constantly updating and improving. As you grow in number of listings the pricing becomes one of the best in the industry.
It has been good working with them and the customer support has been wonderful. The learning curve is really steep so it just takes time to get things really set up and understood.

Cons

It experiences glitches or stops working almost daily. We continuously receive a screen for "server error" or just a grey spinning wheel, that prevents your from doing anything.
Sales representative clueless about the poor performance of the software. System crashes while trainer is demonstrating the software - "hmm, that shouldn't be happening.
Very disjointed, I often refer to it as frankenstein because it feels like all the modules were poorly connected together. Does not have an open API so integration with other systems is limited.

Cons

Long time to receive an answer and they reply without looking at your enquiry, just sending random links to their knowledge base. Just useless if you have an urgent problem.
Difficult functionality, unable to put in standard restrictions or rules that you can when dealing with the channels directly.
Response time can be delayed due to timezone challenges.
