I like that we can quote and invoice our customers.
I am disappointed that there doesn't seem to be a Quickbooks integration.

Good histories, Faster and more standardized pricing
Tailored for print industry. Makes sure all relevant data is in one place and also can help with production
Sometimes is clunky and overly complicated

A little frustrating.
Ease of use. Love that when I need to look up a customer's history, it's quick.
Slow and the invoice and estimate screens get mixed up. Looking at pending documents, invoices and when I click on the invoice tab, it'll show estimates. I then have to go back to the home screen and go back into the pending documents and click on the invoice tab and it'll be correct.

Easy to load company cost and materials.
Ability to Adapt for customizing to our needs was not cost effective by the time we had to look at purchasing additional modules.

I used the original PrintSmith for 18 years and loved it. Vision is slower, less responsive, the daily reports were changed drastically, especially the register tape, and can't be modified. It was very time consuming and difficult to get the invoices and statements to print similar to the ones that I used to print from PrintSmith. It is difficult to speak with a customer service representative, everything has to be submitted through email and the response time is too slow.
Not much. For an upgrade, it is not as user friendly as the original PrintSmith.
Too slow and the reports can't be modified. The original PrintSmith was much more user friendly.

The experience has been good.
Converitng from Classic to Vision provides us freedom to work from anywhere.
It is just a matter of getting used to. The updates come in a hurry and you have to do your best to stay current.

Being new to supporting PrintSmith and having to perform 3 upgrades with no previous experience, your support was very helpful and timely. Performing the upgrade was extremely easy and straightforward as we had no issues.
Nothing. I am new to this software and find your support extremely helpful.

We have had this for well over 15 years now. It meets our needs, however as the world is moving towards a more digital print production method, Printsmith is still highly geared to an offset press world. More of our work is coming from plotters (large format), digital presses, and so forth. We also do very little collating and bindery offline compared to offset press.
Ease of implementation and upgrading, we run it on a VM
The latest release took away some features we liked in the older version, such as printing the sheet to show the operator the best cut illustration for cutting pages out. The reporting also isn't great

The new HTML UI is much more responsive and easy to use. Plus very fast!
The limitations of memory allocation on the server side is frustrating.

Excellent but mainly due to our Franchise person
Many of the same functionality we have used in PS Classic & Legacy. Well organized on the screens & buttons mostly.
Training videos & manual are horrendous. Many of th functions are "hidden", hard to find or figure out as a new user, its coming along but parts are frustrating

Legacy is similar to Classic. Familiarity is key in a conversion. I consider this change to Fast Track a conversion not an update as it is very different from Classic which we have used for 20 years
IT is incomplete. Very detailed which causes some confusion. Hoping it is more easily understandable when it upgrades to version 5.0 and we are no longer told to do things in legacy versus fast track

unhappy, I can not charge jobs per square foot, but only inches.
easy to do billing, track jobs and able to see the cost
confirming and saving every time, too many pages for the same job when job consists of more than one job within the same area.

We have been using PrintSmith for 25+ years. Vision had classic built in, works similar to what we had.
Support is week! 1 to 2 days for a help request reply. Disappointing for a mission critical product.

Very difficult to transition from Classic.
I like that you can access from any computer/device.
The lag time, the views, difficult to use, shortcuts, a lot of stuff I don't like.
