Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Upgrade from AmmoReady / Gearfire ease of use great support team (Nate is the man) product is able to grow with your business. Nathan offers customer service. always spot and response fast to my tickets and emails. Great communication. Celerant stepped it up. Ethan Perez bridges goals; Shruti & Deborah drive success; future looks bright. Incredible support we’ve received from Bobby. From the moment he reached out to introduce himself, he’s gone above and beyond in helping us catch up. I am a new user to Cumulus and have nothing but rave reviews. The ease of use of the software is outstanding(so far). The support that i receive is far above top notch. My implementation team that consists of Kimberly Mano, Nathan Gilbert and Scott Ward are very supportive and continue to be an invaluable resource to me as I grow my business. Cons Not a true custom website creating sellable products takes many steps iOS seems to have issues. UI is not intuitive without training. Ticket system is handle in India, so there's a language barrier. In the past, we had some concerns, but the recent changes made by Celerant have been impressive. None, support is very helpful solving if we have any report with any reports! As a new user, my challenge is really about learning the full functionalities of the back office and the software. However, the Cumulus team has continued to point me in the right direction and is supportive through each step.	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros I'm a user of MicroBiz for more than twenty years and its format is familiar to each version with modern media options such as remote access. Great order management capabilities. We use for phone orders, deliveries, layaways, special orders, and service work. We look at a lot of cloud POS systems and MicroBiz has a unique combo of an easy-to-use POS register and some good order management workflow. The reporting is also good. Reports have a lot of filters ability to be customized. We run a garden supplies store, and MicroBiz is working great for us. We like the ability to have customer based pricing tiers allowing us to charge different prices on the same product for the same customer. We also use the credit account feature that allows us to charge purchased to a house account and send an AR statement at the end of the month. The software is very easy to use and employees grasp how to use it very quickly. Graphs and pie charts gives you quick access to income and profit and are very useful for reviewing the performances of multiple stores (I have 5). Fantastic value for money. Very responsive and highly accurate customer support. Cons I cannot slight anything about MicroBiz because they have supported me throughout all my accounting needs. It would be great if there were more custom fields that could be added to product records. Receipts and invoices are missing bar codes, so to do a return of a transaction you need to enter the transaction number. It would be if the system would remember the filter setting on the reports that we use the most. We wish that there was more flexibility designing the receipt. There is some ability to customize it but we wanted to copy our old receipt. Also to import products and customers from out old system, we needed to cut and paste the date from t=our old system into a CSV template provided by MicroBiz. We wished that the system would import data from the files exported from our old system. This took a little extra time. Very little, nothing which springs to mind. I could not find a way to compare the total daily sales of a store over the course of a month.
