Pros

“It provides a comprehensive set of tools for appointment scheduling, client management, payment processing, and marketing, all within a single platform.”
KL

Kate L.

Sales

“However, from a true multi-location business operations standpoint, our experience has been very different. When managing multiple teams, front desk staff, schedules, client communication, and payment processing across locations, reliability, flexibility, and offline accessibility become critical.”

Carlos B.

Owner

“Easy appointment scheduling, useful customer management features, online booking options, reminders help reduce missed appointments, practical tools for managing daily administrative activities, convenient for businesses that handle many appointments.”

Cons

“They can disrupt operations across multiple teams and locations for an entire day. When your business depends on software for scheduling, client management, and payments, there should be a dependable backup or offline mode available.”

Carlos B.

Owner

“My biggest complaint is that if you try to export multiple appointments the site will freeze and turn black (which is crazy, especially when you're trying to save data).”
VT

Vani T.

President

“It lacks any functionality suited for industrial asset management, complex technical maintenance, service contracts, or engineering BOMs.”
RC

Ron C.

Engineering and Maintenance Leader

Cons

“The process of sending out electronic health questionnaires each year is becoming very clunky”
SC

Sandy C.

Nurse

“Overall poor. When it works it’s pretty mediocre and reporting is clunky and not user friendly”
