    Pros
    I am extremely happy with Kickserv. There is a bit of a learning curve but I am very pleased.
    They have excellent customer service that we have found to be responsive and personal. I would recommend Kickserve to anyone looking for a cost effective and well designed customer management system.
    If you need help or have questions, tech support is always there ready to help. Actually, a rep called me after signing up to see if I needed help or had any questions and right then, I thought WOW.
    Cons
    The APP has always been very poor and its so hard to use, we've never been able to use it the past 2-3 years because of how poor it is.
    Editing estimates does not work correctly. There are problems with payment capturing in Kickserv.
    The company has horrible customer support took over a month to correct their error and after multiple calls no response, cannot not recommend to anyone.

    Get your DISPTACH house in order

    Reviewed 5 years ago

    We have been with Kick Serv through a lot of growing pains. As a "non techy" person, I was very frustrated in the beginning but now have become a believer that THIS IS a great program for our growing business. I am looking forward to see which upgrades are coming for 2019. (Allow techs to search for specific job numbers in the field, colors change as job phases are uploaded with new people assigned to same job, adding the use of our standard quote forms, time sheet management)

    Pros

    Able to track all incoming calls with a glance at calendar screen. See every tech (color coded) daily, weekly and monthly. Track days off, vacations, in a glance, with customer on the phone!

    Cons

    Still no way to automatically change color coding as each phase of a project is completed and we need to add different tradesmen to the job. We have to "open" each job BEFORE we schedule a tech to see if he/she is already assigned to an ongoing job.

    Vendor response

    Hello Cyndi, Many thanks for the abundance of positive feedback. And as always the suggestions to make our product better and more user friendly is what we thrive on here. To quickly gather what jobs a technician or tradesman is on go directly to our Jobs index page and use the "assign to" filter. Ping me back from within the app if you'd like to discuss this idea further. We are here to help.

    The best software for new or mid size businesses

    Reviewed 10 months ago

    I love it. I would recommend to everyone! Very good software.

    Pros

    Customer service is the best whenever you need help they are here for you. Easy to manage and very helpful everywhere (office, on a field)

    Cons

    Some features they are on PC but not on mobile.

    Vendor response

    The old system service psychic was very useful and user-friendly. The new software is terrible.

    Reviewed 6 years ago

    During the service sidekick years, many. During the kick serve years nearly 0 other than scheduling.

    Pros

    The calendar is the biggest strength of this program. I like being able to use colors for different types of jobs. Also when you move something on the calendar it automatically updates. Our new software does not do that and I miss it. Service psychic used to be very easy to add people into the system and get them scheduled. Kick serve was not. The quick add was a great function when we were at tradeshows or when you're on the phone with a customer.

    Cons

    The reporting is near worthless. None of the reports are ever accurate, and trying to get someone to help you make them accurate was like banging your head against a wall. The system was incredibly unreliable It is constantly going down. For a web-based system, businesses rely on its functionality during business hours. We had many days of inability to use the system. They're always seem to be some reason why it crashed. The system was much much better when it was service sidekick. We had to build a salesforce software system because it was so dysfunctional. The customer service was also incredibly bad.

    Vendor response

    We migrated hundreds of our original customers from our legacy system to Kickserv starting in April 2017 through May 2017. We inherited some issues that we certainly should have anticipated or planned for. We did find a couple processing issues bringing on all those older accounts so quickly. We have since cleared those problems and added many more resources to handle much more growth. We sincerely apologize to all our loyal customers for enduring those weeks of processing delays.

    Great for starters and small businesses!

    Reviewed 10 months ago

    Overall, for the price, I am happy. I recommend Kickserv to anyone getting started with their business. Small businesses, especially! I will continue to use Kickserv- they are constantly doing updates to fix little bugs here and there.

    Pros

    This software is user-friendly for the most part. It provides all the basic features you need to schedule, create a work order and assign to employees, invoice customers, and sync to your accounting system.

    Cons

    I mostly suggest the technician app be updated. I have found that 100% of my technicians are great at labor work, but not so great at navigating apps and using phones. Maybe even just offering more education/user guides for techs would help. Also, wish there was more of a way to have intercommunication between departments; assign tasks to office team, to do lists, etc

    My pocket assistant...

    Reviewed 10 months ago

    Kickserv helps me solve a problem or answer a question daily, whether it's using it to read the estimate or navigate to my appointment.

    Pros

    Kickserv is a very user friendly product I had no experience with prior to my current position. Without Kickserv, the learning curve would have been much...curvier. This allowed me quickly find which projects I needed to collect on and which ones I could start immediately. I could also refer to my contact list and projects so I didn't have to rely on paper files or memory.

    Cons

    I would like it to be more automated on calls and emails made through Kickserv to capture the email or conversation and last touch.
