Pros

Easy to navigate, helpful tutorials and responsive in the moment assistance and overall great customer service.
The free trial, the ease of setup and very reasonable price, along with supreme customer support; I could not have asked for a better company and product.
We love the simplicity and straightforward design of this service management solution. QuickBooks integration is a great timesaver.

Pros

My customers are also super happy because HP tells them when something is scheduled and allows them to interact with us. More engaged clients mean happy clients that may spend more.
I love this software, I cannot thank the pros at housecall enough for introducing me to this product. The fee is very affordable and it has everything that I need to run my business daily.
I just like the ease of use and the organization of it. Keeps me organized and helps me accomplish more.

Cons

Very complicated, problems syncing, workflow is horrible, not efficient. Went to cancel after 5 days and was told I couldn't get any of my money back after I had paid for a full month.
No one who works there knows in the ins and outs of the program and they never can give consistent answers. Our company had lost thousands of dollars by implementing this application.
It is an embarrassment to our company when using it in the field and has only been a headache from day one. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT BUY THIS SOFTWARE.

Cons

They utilize a chat bubble on their website for support and have little to no way of escalating a problem to speak with someone. The implementation of new features comes fast and furious.
We reluctantly renewed for one more year because of the hassle of yet another transition, and I can certainly say it has proved to be a mistake and regret.
When your account ask for that information you will not be able to provide that to them. You will eat that loss on your tax filing.

Such an awesome tool to help run a business!

Reviewed 10 years ago
Pros

I love that I can see the schedule on my phone when I am away from the office. I also like the fact that I can see any notes that the technician has logged and know what needs to be done before I return to the office.

Cons

I don't like creating invoices through the program; I don't think it's there yet with working with QuickBooks Pro. I am just not comfortable letting go of invoice and estimates through QuickBooks just yet.

Pros

The Customer Service agents are amazing. They go out of their way to help you especially .

Cons

A little on the pricey side and takes a little getting used to but after you play with it a little you should be a pro and the customer service agents are there to help with any problem you might have.

Worst experience with customer service ever!!!!

Reviewed 6 years ago

Can anyone call me back or help one of your long time customers?

Pros

I am a pro with M Helpdesk and I was liking it until I have a transaction that I need help with. No one will call me back or answer the phone. Ridiculously bad customer service. They give you the run around with there stupid British answering machine. I now realize they don't want to help us.

Cons

The customer service. The app. is not very good either. It only works about half the time and it won't always attach the estimate or invoice. If you need help good luck getting a hold of help desk. Why do they call it that if they don't help there customers.

Highly recommend this product. We used to use WINTAC and made the switch and couldn't be happier!

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

Mobile friendly and ease of use. Customer service is great too! Another Pro is that as we type in the address, it is linked with Google and it will give you the full address with correct spelling, with city and zip. It cuts our time down in entering addresses; along with ensuring the address is correct for our technicians. No more misspelled addresses!

Cons

Some times the click down feature gets stuck when operating from my iPhone and it won't allow me to select things. So I have to click save and do it again and then it works. I think it is a bug with the new iPhone; hoping they will fix it soon.

Vendor response

Thank you so much for your review, Karen! We're so glad that the mobile app has been helpful for your business.

A wonderful goldmine of productivity

Reviewed 12 years ago

I highly and with full confidence recommend any service, repair, trade, or growing company have a serious look at what mHelpdesk and there top notch team has to offer.

Pros

- Ready to go right from the start - Customer support sets the bar for quality and individual needs. They go above and beyond to give personal assistance and not a robotic phone system or outsourced tech help. - System was carefully developed during each step to give the novice a helping had or any pro in depth expandability - CONSTANT development and growth from mHelpdesk without ridiculous.

Cons

None that I can think of. Overall any issue we have ever had since the start was quickly resolved via phone call, forum or E-mail.

The MHelpdesk Mobile App and Home Pro applications work very well together. The calendar sync function with Google is especially helpful. The personal support that we received from Austin Oniell at MHelpdesk was outstanding. He followed up several times with us personally to make sure we fully knew how to use all the functionality of the app. And he continues to be a great resource when we need him.

Pros

The power of building a quote and to invoice and collect payments.
