General Office Manager

With my role as the general office manager who mainly works in the marketing and customer service department, I use Leap CRM on a daily basis to track leads, set up appointments, capture client records/notes and keep track of analytics.

Owner

They make you call them and speak with them directly (extremely difficult to reach them via phone, email or their online chat) to get rid of users. If you don’t know to do this (they won’t tell you outside of fine print), and simply delete one or more of your users yourself without reaching someone to officially request that they also delete the “license”, they’ll just continue charging you without letting you know.

BILLING CLERK

In a world where we are so busy its nice to have this program to keep the pace and monitor job status.

OWNER OPERATOR

Paid an additional 4 months due to "contract obligation" and they STILL charged an additional month even after putting in writing.  

Systems Admin

I've learned from a fantastic team, been able to merge several of our tools into Leap thusly saving us money and time, and continue to find ways to improve upon every part of our current setup.  

VP of Sales

The price hike became 3x what I used to pay and they forced me to pay it for two months despite my never agreeing to this price adjustment citing their 60 day written notice stipulation.

What was once an invaluable tool for estimating and CRM has become overpriced and riddled with unnecessary changes that only benefit the company, not its users.

President

It use to be an affordable customer service platform that did the job

Worse, the company enforces a ridiculous 60-day written cancellation policy, yet they implemented the rate increase immediately.

Administrator

We had very little training to start and took forever to get things up and going

Manager

The search engine is to be desired and the forms formatting really should be updated for formatting and design-

Marketing Director

How reporting pulls the data, I have to often create my own to get more accurate reporting.

After that they raised rates 125% and do not want to cancel my subscription as requested multiple times.

Project Engineer

The company refused any sort of reimbursement, for the 6+ months we paid for the software and were unable to use it due to their own customer service negligence.  

Customization options, user friendly dashboard, amazing service from support team ([sensitive content hidden] are fantastic!)

It needs more updating, too much new stuff for older employees to navigate

The most difficult and non user friendly CRM I have ever had to us.

Rough in beginning, took 3-4 month to fix QuickBooks sync issue.

Director of Operations

We have been with Leap since 2018 and it has made our sales process so simple a toddler could use it.

It's ease of use for my reps and the ability to get quick help from Leap's staff, if and when needed.

It controls the sales process, training, and profit margins

I liked it before it was bought out - the original version called Job Progress was a better solution.

Vice President

Everything you do relates to something else in the CRM so it is all important.   Once you understand the integration and support- it all makes sense and is easy to use.  

It took me months of constant requests for assistance, before we finally cancelled altogether.

There are much better and more affordable tools available for contractors.

Look elsewhere for tools that respect their customers and offer real value.

Deceptive and virtually impossible to cancel your subscription.

With this rate increase, they’ve priced themselves out of being competitive.

The data that can be retrieved and utilized is amazing!  

Great! Once setup and deployed there is minimum maintenance needed.

General Manager

The financial side of the program are in depth.  

Corporate Trainer

Their service and support staff are amazing.  

Genral Manager

Been trying to cancel for weeks and they refuse to cancel even though you never are presented with a contract/agreement.

supervisor

it has a multi user interface which helps all the team members involve in a project to contribute their actions positively and also it helps to track the progress of any project at anytime.

Customer Success Manager 

The calendar says it has a 2 way sync with Google but its been broken for as long as I have used the system (over a year), the reporting functions within the system are very poor and half the time when you set filters for the reports (the same filters) you get different information, the activity feed does not capture everything that happens on a job/ with a customer and its leave the user questioning how certain things on a file were done/ by whom.

sales

It is very pricey for start-up companies.

Application Support Analyst

It cannot connect or read data from our company database

Planning and project control engineer

With JobProgress we got rid of all that, as all the members of the work team enter all the project's belongings from pictures, drawings, requests for materials, etc.

administrator

the application closes while I am in the middle of an operation, and while I wait for the system to save the last generated information, it hangs sometimes and I have to start all over again.

We asked them to make some changes to improve the system, and they did it in a very short time, which was very beneficial for us since we did not have to cancel any operations.

Business Development 

It has so many flaws -the email load chain is obnoxious, emails get lost or never received, there are too many steps to do simple tasks, the custom contracts are not readable to the finance portion, estimates can not be converted to contracts, the calendar has never synced properly,  it’s hard to access closed jobs if archived, pictures take forever to load through the app, there are too many options on the system that don’t pertain to our industry (pool business)

This system connected with Quickbooks projects as we needed, had great customer service, was able to be adjusted around for our flow of business, and had document creation, electronic acceptances, and storage.

Operations Coordinator

The lack of a grid-type work center that allows for filtering and reporting on all data fields and tables at once , and the slow refresh of data.  

Managing Electrician

The time tracking feature is basically useless because the only thing you can do is literally clock in and out of a certain job. If you forget to clock in at a specific time the whole day is ruined so you have to continue to have another system for time tracking for payroll - Which is annoying for something that should be a one stop app for everything.

 Essential - Designer

Architect and Contractor

They have created an infrastructure that accurately captures all phases of the building process - from connecting us to clients, to managing material selections, right down to scheduling and pricing.

They provide the ability to advertise and create a profile which has already lead to a couple of new leads coming in that I wouldn’t have otherwise had.

VP or Project Management - Partner

The estimating tool only lets you estimate based on $ / Unit Qty meanwhile I should be able to input the rate of production for that assembly and it spit out the $/Qty.

Contractor

I also like collecting payments through the system and like how the customer is charged for service fees instead of me having to calculate it and add it on my end.

The problem here is that the videos showcase stuff you can't access (or the videos are outdated and need to be removed from their directory).

As a designer running my own firm, I needed a platform that could help with project management, client communication, and visual presentation all in one place—and Houzz Pro delivers.

owner operator

I like the ease of creating templates for my estimates, I like that I can get paid faster than waiting on checks to clear

Overall, I like the Houzz pro ease of creating estimates and renderings, I also love that I can collaborate with other subcontractors.

Project Manager

The client design consultation process can be lengthy, especially when clients have difficulty visualizing their space. But, the model display and ability to edit while in consultation has proven to shorten the design process and improve client satisfaction and confidence in us to deliver the house of their dreams.

Being able to illustrate my design concepts and calculate take offs in one platform has given me a substantial improvement on efficiency, allowing myself and my team to complete a greater number of projects to the same and even higher standard of care.

Lead Designer, Owner

It also markets for my business by just having an account.   But it goes beyond just the pretty things, it is also a management software where you can track budget, schedules, release proposals, track payment and track your time per job accordingly!  

owner and operator

I really like the "Create New" feature which gives me the ability to add an expense, clock in time, invoice, or provide an estimate with one click on the main landing page.

It is slow, it does not have a lot of integrations, or access to use APIs, webhooks and other type of data for sales as well as it needs better time management and cost management features like geotagging for time slip.

I'm a business owner of a cabinetry company and I needed something to help me manage all my clients, the frequent change orders, add new leads, and upload notes or documents.

Did not integrate with Quickbooks, Employee Clock in/clock out feature did not work properly, 3D rendering software was glitchy and not user friendly, no way to capture allowances for finishing selections, pricing increase was over 400% after first year.

I believe there is a significant feature missing from this software that is crucial - the ability to create a comprehensive system with multiple costs that can be regularly updated, like an analysis of unit prices.

Director

Pinterest (a free service) has pushed more people to visit my website in 3 days than Houzz has managed to do in the 6-7 months I have been a client. And then we have customer support.

Interior Designer - Project Manager

As an Interior Designer using Houzz Pro, I found the cost of the platform, the learning curve for my new interns & the delays in responses (difficulty in getting timely assistance) are real drawbacks of Houzz Pro.

Administrative Assistant

I also love the takeoff feature when grabbing measurements to bid projects. And the 3D room scan will be super helpful to us as well.

What I liked most about Houzz Pro was how it helped streamline my project management and client communication all in one platform.

The platform allows us to showcase our work, receive client reviews, and stay up to date with the latest design trends.

Plan on dedicated at least 50-80 hours just to get the setup in the system and learn how to navigate it on a very elementary level.

Travel Liaison

I appreciate the paint color feature so I can choose the wall colors that will actually be on the walls. And I enjoyed the ability to use actual items I might purchase in the home for decor.

I also use the time stopwatch for clocking freelance hours which seamlessly translate to an invoice for billing which is amazing.

Operations Manager

Very steep learning curve, lax customer support, and limited mobile functionality compared to competitors.

The ability to use the software to do take and design to show a client what they can get when sending an estimate.

It felt as if they gave it 100% in the scanning rooms feature, but when creating estimates it wasn’t nearly as streamlined.

I like the professionalism of the estimates and the ability to add photos and copy templates.  

Love the daily log, the ability to upload pictures, and the ability to share certain items with the client in a controlled way.

Business manager, customer relations, designer, etc

The features available really help cut down on time spent working on estimates, floor plans, and changes are so easy to make without getting rid of the quoted item completely.
