Über Mindbody
Für dich, deine Stylisten und dein Salonpersonal macht es MINDBODY einfach, Termine von einem Bildschirm aus zu planen, zu aktualisieren oder zu bearbeiten.
I like how easy this software makes it to reserve a spot in a workout class and cancel a reservation if need be. I also like how the price of classes is made known and shown very clearly.

Great for certain things

Laut unserem Kunden die bisher beste Software für die Online Terminvergabe
Vorteile:
Von der Terminerstellung über die Buchung bis hin zur Zahlung reibungsloser Verlauf
Nachteile:
Mehr individuelle Designmöglichkeiten wären zwecks Anpassung schön

Learn It and Use It
Vorteile:
I can not state more clearly that Mindbody is the leader in what they do. They have their faults because of the way it was designed originally but they are working on those every day but no system on the market is better. I have a feeling that a couple years from now, they be much larger than what they even are now.
Nachteile:
the old design structure of the base platform could use some updates, which they are aware of

Mindbody is your way to run your good life requirements.
Kommentare: A good system to use and I do recommend it.
Vorteile:
They way you book for a service is very good, the dashboards they have are very good on the system. The system provides an insight snapshot to what is going on today which is great.
Nachteile:
The system may have issue when connecting at times and this might be due to few updates that they have been making.

Would give zero stars if I could!
Kommentare: Overall Mindbody was very functional but antiquated and clunky. They continue to raise the price to satisfy shareholders without improving their software, and they shamelessly take advantage of their clients. Would give them zero starts if I could. Stay far away!
Vorteile:
We used Mindbody for the first 4 years of our business. It has all the basic functions that we needed. It was also widely used in the yoga business, so we rarely had to train new staff members on its functionality and we had very quick uptake.
Nachteile:
Ever since Mindbody went public in 2017 (?) they turned into a different company. They no longer care about the businesses they serve. They care about their shareholders. They take all the customer data from their yoga studio / gym clients and use it to market their app. They will also market your competitors to your clients. Their practices are unethical and parasitic. Anyone who thinks this company has their best interests at heart has not read the fine print.

Amazing Experience with Mindbody!
Kommentare: Overall, I'm very happy with Mindbody. It's been a great tool for managing my business and keeping track of appointments, classes, and more. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an easy way to manage their business.
Vorteile:
I've been using Mindbody for a few months now and I'm so glad I found it! It's so easy to set up and manage my classes and appointments. The customer service team is also amazing - they are always quick to respond and answer any questions I have.
Nachteile:
The only downside I've experienced with Mindbody is that the app can be a bit buggy and slow at times, but this is a minor issue compared to all the benefits I get from using it.

Elevate Your Customer Experience with Mindbody
Kommentare: I have been able to connect with new customers and manage the company more effectively thanks to the platform's extensive set of features. I like that I can easily access my schedule, client data, and bookings all in one place and that the interface is easy to use. In addition, I value the array of wellness and fitness services offered on the platform, which has enabled me to expand our services and acquire new customers. Although I find the pricing to be challenging, I believe that the advantages of using Mindbody have outweighed the costs, and I appreciate the platform's various pricing plans for their adaptability.
Vorteile:
It enables me to connect with new customers and expand the business. When I first started using Mindbody to help run a fitness studio, that was one of my personal experiences that sticks out to me. I noticed an increase in bookings and a significant increase in our customer base after using the platform for just a few weeks. I trait this accomplishment to Mindbody's easy to understand interface, which permitted me to effectively deal with my timetable, offer advancements and limits to clients, and draw in new clients through the stage's pursuit and disclosure highlights. I also appreciated Mindbody's customer service team's level of support; they were always available to answer questions or show me how to get the most out of the platform.
Nachteile:
When I first started using Mindbody , I found the subscription fees to be quite high, especially when compared to other management platforms that are currently on the market. This is based on my own personal experience. Although I have since discovered that the advantages of using Mindbody outweigh the drawbacks, I believe that the pricing structure could be more adaptable and better suited to the requirements of businesses that are at various stages of growth. Having said that, I appreciate Mindbody's free trial and a variety of pricing options to meet the needs and budgets of different businesses. I still believe that Mindbody is a valuable platform for businesses in the wellness and fitness industry.

Is Mindbody Worth the Investment? Our Review Will Surprise You
Kommentare: I have to say that, as an employee who uses Mindbody where I work, the software has been very good overall. We use Mindbody for everything from scheduling appointments, managing client data, processing payments, and running reports. It has become an essential part of our day-to-day operations.I like that Mindbody is flexible; we can customize the software to meet our specific requirements and preferences. We can easily create and modify our class schedule to reflect changes in our programming, for instance, and we can create custom client fields to capture the information that is most important to us.Naturally, there have been difficulties along the way: learning to use the software effectively required some time and training, and there have occasionally been glitches or technical issues that required fixing. Mindbody, on the other hand, has helped us improve our client service while also streamlining our operations, making it a huge asset to our company overall.
Vorteile:
As an employee who uses Mindbody where I work, I have to say that the ease with which it manages our day-to-day operations is what I like best about the software. We are able to manage everything from one platform with Mindbody, including scheduling classes and appointments, processing payments, and tracking client data.One personal occurrence that comes to mind is the time we had to rapidly alter our class schedule as a result of an instructor's last-minute cancellation. We didn't have to spend hours manually updating each client's schedule because Mindbody made it simple for us to update our schedule and send notifications to them. Our customers were pleased with the prompt response, which saved us a great deal of time and effort.In general, Mindbody has revolutionized our business. Instead of getting bogged down in administrative tasks, it has allowed us to concentrate more on providing high-quality services to our customers. We are able to keep our operations organized, stay organized, and ensure that our customers have the best possible experience.
Nachteile:
The learning curve that comes with using Mindbody is something that frustrates me as an employee who uses it where I work. We had to spend a fair amount of time training our staff on how to use it effectively because it took us some time to become familiar with all of the settings and features when we first started using it.When we first started using Mindbody's automated marketing features, one personal experience comes to mind. It took some time to figure out how to use it effectively and ensure that our messaging was effective and on-brand, despite the fact that it is a great tool for communicating promotions and updates to clients.Having said that, I do believe that learning how to use Mindbody is well worth the time spent on it. When you get its hang, a strong and proficient device can assist organizations of all sizes with smoothing out their tasks and offer better support to their clients.

A transparent scheduling system that links every employee
Vorteile:
Finding new courses, studios, and other fitness-related stuff is made much easier and more pleasurable with Mindbody. There are many different types of blessing testaments, and you may also create a personalised blessing declaration arrangement. I constantly have access to appointments, discounts, representative calendars, and so forth. It has every conceivable function and is quite effective. Excellent customer service, accurate earnings tracking, and simple email marketing features are all present.
Nachteile:
The cost keeps rising, and it is exceedingly costly. The back end's user interface is poor. It took 4 weeks for my new workshop to appear on the app after I uploaded it. A more user-friendly platform would be helpful because there are too many issues. Customer support is excellent; utilise them if you need help.

Mindbody for the yoga studio
Kommentare: I used Mindbody as a front desk manager at a yoga studio.
Vorteile:
I really enjoyed all the functionality that Mindbody provided for the yoga studio where I worked. It made membership management very easy and I liked that I could keep notes on members that all of our teachers could access (i.e. [sensitive content hidden] has a tender shoulder this week, make sure to offer modifications).
Nachteile:
The software had a tendency to freeze up once or twice a week when I used it and we would have to contact customer service for assistance. They were helpful.

Mind and body the review
Vorteile:
The advantages of this program is that it is easy to use and also provides many services such as scheduling appointments
Nachteile:
The disadvantages of this program is that it sometimes made a mistake in managing the membership, and I hope that you will develop from that

Booking Activities made easy
Vorteile:
Using this software allowed me to book for activities online. Simple, quick, and allowed me to get on with daily activities quickly.
Nachteile:
Must register for an account, but for some reason the phone number I registered did not show up when I got to the gym.

MINDBODY Review
Kommentare:
Currently using mindbody to manage:
our clients and collect payments.
KPI reporting
Would like more upgrades to better manage inventory reports.
Vorteile:
It is very user friendly and can get to the detail needed to successfully manage clients.
Nachteile:
When you ask for software upgrades or make suggestions you never know if you are heard and if something will be done. There really is no voice to say we hear you. I would also suggest MB periodically reach out to different levels of users and ask for specific software feedback. Also do not like that you are only allowed to update branded app photos once a year and you cannot send out push notifications that are not active purchasing links.

MindBody for Small Gym
Kommentare:
Scheduling calendar is simple, intuitive and the drag & drop feature is priceless!
MindBody is a One Stop Shop for a small, service oriented business and it can easily be expanded as the company grows.
Vorteile:
Easy to use, very intuitive. Set up took almost no time at all. MindBody allows me to schedule Personal Training Sessions and Group Training Sessions, deal with Point of Sale transactions and even track inventory. The software is flexible enough to handle multiple users and expand when needed. The software will also take into account independent contractors. Most functions are very user friendly and mistakes are easy to correct.
Nachteile:
I use MindBody to process my merchant services and processing transactions over a weekend, especially a holiday weekend, can result in a longer than expected delay before the bank receives the funds. It can take time to put together information for sales tax, most of my business, 95%, is service related. All transactions are recorded, it's just a matter of remembering which questions to ask to get the correct answer.

LIGHTYEARS BEHIND THE COMPETITION
Kommentare: My experience was $500 per month at two locations of nigthmares, frustration, and apologies for clients. I truly should have left them years ago, but don't like making clients switch POS systems more than once in 5 years, and I should have just done it sooner.
Vorteile:
The only thing good about this software is the App on the customer facing side.
Nachteile:
Customer Service, Pricing, Poor Interface, Difficult to Set Up.

No Longer Suitable for Music Teacher; Expensive for Small Businesses
Kommentare: I have used MindBody for nearly 15 years, both as an administrator and staff/user, and I used to work in software. I used to love them and, early on, I would frequently recommend them to colleagues - the deployment phase was exceptional. However, they are not the company them once were - nor is their software as attractive, simple to use, or innovative as it used to be. The user-interface is very tired-looking, they are focused on up-selling to bigger clients who can afford and ignoring the smaller clients of which I am one. (Their costs are £100-450pcm basic, plus an additional £199 pcm for an almost essential mobile app, which puts it well out of range for a small business. Probably, importantly, the functionality is also possibly geared around larger yoga, hair-salons, gyms, etc. I am a music teacher. I think it's time I looked at a more tailored music teaching option.
Vorteile:
Excellent support at deployment stage; good customer service response times; very friendly staff; used to be market leaders; possibly good functionality but only available at premiums packages
Nachteile:
Old-fashioned user-interface (very web v.1); very expensive; limited functionality compared to competition (good functionality only available at premiums packages); current business model seems to be selling 'tailored' mobile apps at £199 pcm, which we all know is off-the-shelf code painted a different colour and without enough modifiable options to justify the expense). No longer market leaders; unaware of competition; mixed staff knowledge (their recent expansion means too many employees have severely limited knowledge, and I frequently get passed around 'experts' or stuck re-explaining my issues).

MINDBODY software
Kommentare: I wouldn't want to change. Software changes are difficult to walk staff through. Price increases may impact that over time. Partly because it is ever evolving and slowly but surely we get functionality that we need. The software is greatly modifiable, however, we have hit quite a few roadblocks of things that we need that we just can't do because we do not have the typical boutique business model.
Vorteile:
Ability to interact with clients through auto-e-mails/texts.
Nachteile:
Not built specifically for fitness centers so lacks some functionality specific to a non-profit fitness center. Definitely built for a boutique studio.

Would love to find an alternative
Kommentare: It was relatively easy to setup and get going but I wished that I had more alternatives to test before putting my entire business on this. I am seeking an alternative.
Vorteile:
MindBodyOnline is used across many studios so it is easy to use. It does most of what I want it to do but not necessarily without workarounds. I really wanted this to work but it's now getting my financials wrong and this is huge for me.
Nachteile:
Very buggy. The phone app acts differently than the web browser application. It's making it nearly impossible to trust my appointments, sessions and payments for clients. I run my studio with the mobile app and it's getting increasingly challenging. As I am a small business, I feel that I don't have much weight to influence positive changes to the app through customer support. I've been told it's because I'm on an entry level version of the app and that if I upgrade I can get what I need. I don't feel that spending extra money after experiencing ridiculous price hikes over the past 2 years will help. I am desperately looking for an alternative to run my business. I've tried several times to talk with customer support and they are always very friendly and try to be helpful but I think they are limited to how the company is being run. I was told to email the CEO directly, I did that 3-4 times and my emails went unanswered. If there is anything I can tell you not to use: Referred by Relationship- It mixes packages and false payment information between those two clients Booking appointments by mobile app- It allows you to book and it automatically takes sessions from their package and reserves it for that session. When you check how many sessions they have left, it's not accurate because it already reserved these sessions so it looks like your client is due for payment when they are not. The web app does not do this!

seven levels of HELL. Never in my life have I been ASHAMED to use a service or product before.
Kommentare: I know now what to look for with a company. This is totally not a company I would do business with again. EVER.
Vorteile:
It tricks you and makes you think it's a good idea to use. The sales people are super sweet, kind, nice and charming just like a serial killer trying to get you into their white van with promises of candy, puppies and a meal with Jesus himself to answer all your questions in life.
Nachteile:
Where do I even begin??? it SUCKS. Customer service is a joke, that is if you ever get a hold of anyone. Then they flat out lie to you. The only time I could get a call or e mail back was from a sale department trying to sell me a bigger package. One guy David, lied so bad to me it was like he was a used car sales man in training. Their 24/7 support really means YOU have to wait 24/7 to get a hold of anyone. I got an e mail about a 45% price increase . The support staff told me not to worry about the e mail, I had until March before my price would go that high. Well Jan came around and HAPPY NEW YEAR, big fat price increase just like the e mail said. My call to him was the best after that. He told me I misunderstood and the e mail was correct. So that phone call that took forever to clear up the question about the e mail was just a big waste of time because he lied through his teeth to keep me paying. I would totally save your money unless you like to throw it out and waste any free time you might have. I wish I had found truthful reviews. I went off their marketing I saw everywhere and a business coach that I found out after really didn't have any experience with them. She learned to never recommend them. I learned I can totally control my anger and not drive my car through their headquarters. So MindBody really is about causing you totally frustration in your mind and physical pain in your body from all the crap they put you through. RUN FAST and FAR.

Extremely disappointed -
Kommentare:
I’m am truly disappointed. What a way to treat a customer who has been with them for years!
Asking me if I was happy the situation was resolved after years of charging for a service they were not providing? Please! This was the least they could do! It is their responsibility to deliver what they offer. I shouldn’t be happy they solved a problem that has hurt my business fir years! I have over 250 clients who have found me through GOOGLE, Not mindbody and show up in the studio unable to book the class until I seNd them a direct link To their phones through a text message sharing my business in the Mindbody app. I always thought Mindbody was not helping my business and I was right!
Vorteile:
Years ago, They sold me the idea that their software was worth every penny because my classes would be shown on the app. And the visibility would allow clients to see my classes at given times and search radius.
Nachteile:
My most important class has not appeared In the app on the clients end for the past years. I realized this today. On my end and in my app as business owner I could see my class so I never realized the class had never been visible to potencial clients who are searching for a Zumba class in the app. I just trusted Mindbody was doing their job. They solved the problem today when I searched for my new virtual class and I realized the class was not listed or visible on the clients app or on their end. I was with them over 2 hours on the phone explaining this situation. They just apologized, asked me if I was happy that they resolved he situation, I mean, Come on! it was insulting and audacious on their part! They have been charging me for years for a service they have not provided. The least they could have done was offer me some kind of compensation, this is TERRIBLE!

Hi Claudine- Thank you for sharing your feedback about Mindbody. We can see that our support team provided you an option to get your classes listed on the Mindbody app while you wait for your work item to be resolved.

Miracle Software
Kommentare: MindBody is the admin assistant I've always needed and could never before afford. In the first three months of using it I DOUBLED my income. My clients can schedule, cancel, reschedule, sign up for classes and pay online- that alone saves me at least two hours a day that I no longer have to be on the phone, I can be working! Or playing with my family, or a million other things rather than sitting on a phone or on email. Just the ability to take credit cards (all of them) increased my pay; there's a feature when the client pays which asks if they want to leave a tip and offers different percentages or a custom amount...and when asked if they want to leave a tip, more people do so! Seriously my average went from 65 to 90 each session. Clients can buy gift cards online and print them out immediately, that's a nice feature for those last minute gift givers, and they are again asked if they want to leave a tip... it's crazy how quickly my income skyrocketed. I'm beyond grateful. OH and the best part. MindBody's customer service. I was actually offered a lower rate with another company (we'll call them Circle so I don't offend the real company) but Circle was terrible. With Circle, I waited fifteen months to get the rate I was promised and I was constantly tossed back and forth in emails and phone calls as Circle passed blame and did nothing to help my business. So I checked out MindBody. And they walked me through the software, the setup, how to use it, they even showed me how to customize everything for my business! We're talking 45 minute phone calls with this awesome customer service associate (Rep- he's so calm and intelligent and researches every question you have) EVERY WEEK until I felt comfortable using MindBody. I was terrified after trying Circle, but MindBody gave me the software, the skills, the customization, the feedback- did I mention you can run reports at any time to figure profit and taxes and such?- and as of today I stand to TRIPLE my income this year. Thank God I didn't give up after Circle. Thank God I found MindBody. I realize I'm typing in stream-of-consciousness, I realize I'm beyond excited, but for a single mother of three running her own business who had learned to live just below the poverty level, to make such a leap in income, to have such powerful and professional software, to have the unwavering support and knowledge base of an entire team of people at MindBody- it's overwhelming. Miracle Software.
Vorteile:
MindBody customer support is AWESOME! It's the reason I stay with MindBody, though Square offers a lower rate to NCBTMB members such as myself- square's customer support is awful. In contrast stands Max Malle. Remember that name. Best customer service rep I've ever known. He and the others go above and beyond their jobs- you can feel their sincerity. Oh and I've doubled my income and am set to triple it this year because the software does SO MUCH WORK for me. It's my administrative assistant that I only pay $ a month for! It rocks.
Nachteile:
Hm. Well, I have yet to figure out the difference between signing someone up for a yoga class and signing them in to a yoga class, so maybe differentiating that in the program's wording would help. OH and for those of us who use our phones exclusively, not a computer, when using the software, it would be lovely if the phone programming held everything just like the computer programming does. Hmmmmm .... OH and sometimes late at night my schedule disappears completely from my phone. It shows up as blank, which is frightening, but in the morning it's back to normal. Maybe you guys are working on it then?

Small Business that MBO doesn't really care about and they make you feel that way.
Kommentare: Considering there are so many new platforms that don't have the tech debt look to newer more innovative companies. MBO will see you on 20 years in the business but in tech that is actually more a liability to them. There platform coding is outdated and they are not flexible. They require third parties (more cost to the user) to patch what they can't create themselves.
Vorteile:
Familiarity which is also its weakness Considering there are so many new platforms that don't have the tech debt look to newer more innovative companies. MBO will see you on 20 years in the business but in tech that is actually more a liability to them. There platform coding is outdated and they are not flexible. They require third parties (more cost to the user) to patch what they can't create themselves.
Nachteile:
We have been with MBO for almost over 4 years. They have the right to change you billing options at will. So complicated to get anything done. They have a department within a department. You try to get an answer to a question and you are sent to three different people and maybe you will get an answer. Our Account Rep can't even get an answer to our question and refers us to the website or refers us to another department because they don't have the power to fix (change an email address). They changed their billing tiers and ours was obsolute. Instead of talking to us and finding which of the new tiers we wanted they took the liberties and changed us to the more expensive tier. We didn't need the functionalities of the more expensive tier. When we asked for a refund they denied us saying that they emailed us. Problem is the email they had wasn't even an email that has ever existed ([email protected]) and not the email used every single day to sign in and had every single permission within the software.

MINDBODY REVIEW (Merchant user)
Vorteile:
First and foremost, I am not on the customer end of this app. I am the back end user/subscriber and I pay a monthly fee to use this system to gain clientele for my personal training business. One thing I liked about the app is that it has many features that allow many ways to communicate with clients. They also have friendly training calls and the people are extremely nice. They seem to be from the west coast so they all seem very laid back, Cali style. They are excellent sales people who know how to get you to
Nachteile:
First and foremost, I am not on the customer end of this app. I am the back end user/subscriber and I pay a monthly fee to use this system to gain clientele for my personal training business. The company does not tell you how difficult the platform is. The fact that we need a trainer to show us how to use it should have let me know that I would require intense hands on training. The back end is difficult and the entire system requires lots of time. This is not a user friendly platform. Their customer service is the worst I have dealt with in many years. They do not offer refunds and if you do receive one, it is only done "At special circumstances" but it is not easy to obtain. The fact they say that there are no refunds is not good. They are mostly afraid that if you see the platform, you will steal their idea so they are more worried about their platform being stolen than making a customer happy. I was offered a free month because they guaranteed I'd be happy with their system. Unfortunately I wasn't and I decided to cancel with them. They never got back to me when I attempted by emailing their [email protected] I also contacted [email protected] and requested cancellation. I had a chance to speak to a tech support on the weekend who told me that he would let them know to cancel my subscription. I contacted my trainer who also gave me heads up on how to cancel and let me know she would let them know on her end. I am currently waiting on the phone with them for 50 minutes for them to call me back because I am in cue. Their cue time was "first person waiting on cue has waited 50 minutes" so I am assuming that I am not next. Even after requesting for over one week to cancel, they charged my card eight days later. I called my bank and they said that they have dealt with them before on a personal level so their reputation is known to be difficult. Their default email I have received countless times is "Thank you for contacting MINDBODY®. Our team has been experiencing a higher volume of inbound contacts, which means that we may not be able to get back to you as quickly as we would like. We appreciate your continued patience during our peak season and we have some great help resources available online. You can access detailed FAQs, video tutorials, and more, click here to get started! All emails are saved and may be reviewed for quality assurance purposes." This is the email I received by support when asking to cancel, by clientcare. I am now waiting to cancel and I do not have the time to wait yet I need to in order to get my money back. Do not go with them for a trial unless you are ready to commit because they are extremely difficult to work with and will keep your money if you decide they are not for you.

Leading and inspiring the health and fitness industry
Kommentare: I've truly found Mindbody as an ally to help run my business. The company and community around it is why I'm in the health and fitness industry. It is inspiring to see a company trailblaze positive change in the public's heath and look forward to be associated with Mindbody for years to come.
Vorteile:
Mindbody is easily the most powerful and comprehensive software available to help run your health and fitness company. What a lot of people may not know is that this company is leading the charge to improve health and fitness in this country and throughout the world where Mindbody is found. Having spent time at their campus in San Luis Obispo, I've seen it first hand. I go to the Mindbody University events to learn and to be inspired. It is a comprehensive program so it can be complicated. With time, you can master this program then use complementary software depending how sophisticated you want to be with your company. It is confusing to see so many complementary software programs, but to the best of my knowledge, I believe Mindbody keeps from duplicating every idea/program to not degrade the work that they do with the foundation of the work that they do well. This company is innovative and trailblazing ways and features that will enhance the clients experience at your gym/studio and easily the best feature is the ability to use a mobile device to run the software and create and pleasant experience for the user.
Nachteile:
I believe if anyone considers using other software, it is because you are forced to use a specific credit card company with Mindbody. The sophistication to take different types of payment is lacking in such a monumentally successful software program. They tried to roll out a mobile dedicated payment device called POYNT which has been disappointing. It is clunky and unreliable, but I was pleasantly surprised to be able to return for a credit on my account. There are reports that the payment system is being revamped and it would be a revelation and would make the system truly complete.

Considering Mindbody? BEWARE! They will say what you want to hear to get your credit card on file
Kommentare: TERRIBLE. They are misleading snake oil salesmen who are glad to swindle small family owned businesses without blinking an eye. Provided misleading and inaccurate information about functionality. THE WORST customer service when trying to make things right. They continue to charge my credit card multiple times after I canceled, leaving me to wait 30 days to get my own money back. They promised a full refund and decided to never refund a cent and they never followed up with me. The only reason I was able to get them back on the phone was because they kept charging my card! BEWARE: MINDBODY IS COMPRISED OF SNAKE OIL SALESMAN, CROOKS AND SWINDLERS
Vorteile:
Robust feature list, aesthetics are ok.
Nachteile:
The sales team will say whatever they think you need to hear to get you signed up, even if they are not fully sure about the functionality of certain features or if the platform is a good fit for you business. They will tell you it is a great fit, even if they know it is not going to work for you. I spent hours and hours describing in intricate detail the needs of my business and going over the functionality of the features to make sure it would work. They assured me it would be great. After being sold and working on on boarding for months, because it is an incredibly convoluted process, I came to realize the features I was relying on did not actually work as described, leaving me without an operating system for my business during peak season. The sales team and the development team and the onboarding team act completely independently and do not communicate consistently with the customer or each other, leaving wide gaps in the sales team's understanding of the actual functionality of the product. Instead, you will be provided misinformation, no matter if that leaves you and your business grasping for straws. When you try to work things out with customer service, they again tell you one thing and don't follow up or act completely different once you are off the phone. I was told I would get a full refund, only to never see a cent or ever get a call back. They also charged my credit card MULTIPLE times after I canceled; I had to wait 30 days to get my money.

BIG MISTAKE
Vorteile:
None. This thing takes hours to set up - the numbers in the revenue tracker do not match up to the deposits in the bank account. We have to keep track of our own revenue and can't trust any of the numbers that show up in their tracking.
Nachteile:
Horrific customer service - insanely high price increases - unethical business practices - For example - we decide to try out a new retention marketing program that they came up with. Sounds like a great idea, decided to test it out. It sucked, whatever, we tried it and just decided to discontinue it. No-can-do. Apparently, without telling us, trying out the new automated follow up program bumped us up to a completely different version of the software - we thought it was just an add-on service. Well the thing sucked and we wanted to go back to what we had, but they eliminated that. But they didn't even tell us that they had eliminated it before we switched back. So they switch us back and we are shockingly surprised when we lose A LOT of functionality. We complain that we were never told when we upgraded, or when we downgraded what the consequences would be. They don't care. So here we are losing money as a result, because we can't manually adjust prices when necessary and spending a significant amount of time doing things ourselves that our employees were able to do before. So we just agree to go back to the upgraded version only to find out that all of our membership contracts and autopays information is gone. I know we are not the only ones this has happened to. I smell a class-action lawsuit coming...

Hello, Over the course of the past year, we have been rolling out new packages to our customers, giving them at least 30 days notice about when their new pricing will take effect, and what their options were. We'd like to look into the feedback you made in your review, but unfortunately, because you provided your feedback anonymously, we are unable to confirm that is what happened. Could you provide your business details to [email protected]?
