Pros

The software feels like just what the doctor ordered and we are very happy with the choice. The simPRO team has been rock solid, supportive, knowledgeable, and fun to work with from day 1.
The software has been great and had performed as described. The integration team has been awesome as well.
Easy to implement the back office side works really well and gives the ability to manage stock and jobs easily. The integration into Quickbooks is flawless and is a great boon.

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

Nothing we were sold or told would work ended up working. This has been an extremely disappointing, costly and frustrating experience with SimPro.
Poor software, Poor management, poor implementation, Avoid at all costs.
On the accounting and estimating side of this software Simpro uses Margin percentage (Simpro calls it Gross Margin) and not Gross Margin dollars.

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.

NOT a project management software

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

Can not say we had any pro come from using simpro very much let down. Plenty of other software packages out there

Cons

Would not recommend to anyone to use. we operate as a commercial electrical company with 20 employees and it could not project manage our work.

Constant miss selling of product and poor implementation team

Reviewed 3 years ago

Poor software, Poor management, poor implementation, Avoid at all costs

Pros

The sales team at Sim Pro promised us the world and everything we said we needed they insisted that the software could produce these for us. Only to find out they couldn't after we had signed up and started implementation.

Cons

The reports that generate off the back of a service visit are extremely poor and the SimPro team are extremely poor in helping with simple adjustment requests

Vendor response

Reviewed 3 years ago
Pros

quoting software with the ability to transform to jobs

Cons

My very first question and reason for switching was to be able to do ACH and Credit card on recurring invoices. I was told we could all the way through the process but no one could tell me how. Finally I was told it was a problem on how it was set up on square's end. Finally I was able to get a live person at square that informed me the only way they can accept ACH is if the invoice is created in square NOT in sim PRO. I have spent countless hours and dollars being lied to!

Vendor response

Hi there Bruce, thank you for your feedback and details regarding your experience with simPRO. Your input is very important to us, and we appreciate the insight you have expressed. We are saddened to hear that you had a negative experience with our software's integration with Square. We prioritize ensuring the software fits your business model and functionality, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration that this caused. Once again, we apologize for any negative experience you have had, and we wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Definitely a must have

Reviewed 4 years ago

They have a program available for any size of company. And it’s so dang simple to use.

Pros

Don’t waste any more money on all those others. I used systems from SimPro, TechAnywhere, Desco, Fieldedge.etc.... they all work but at a way higher price. Initiate upfront costs, annual renewal fees, monthly maintenance fee, plus charge you a per user fee. On top of you have to go to their training classes. $$$$. No only that. But it literally takes a team to enter info from a job. CSR, then on to a Dispatcher. Then to the technician technician back to the dispatch, dispatch to back Office to enter the rest of the data where it belongs. Well NOT anymore with HOUSECALL PRO!!!

Cons

I actually can’t think of anything other that it doesn’t have a P.O. system Integrated into it. This would make things more streamlined
