Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Good idea for a new market. Their sales team doesn't communicate well and will say what they need to get you to sign up.

Cons

  • There is NO way to cancel even if you don't use it. I cancelled on day 1 of implementation because I found out they don't have the functionality I was sold but offered an insufficient work around. After cancelling via email I didn't hear from their sales rep for weeks. But when he got back he informed me that they would not cancel the agreement. Even though I didn't use the software for a week they are still sending me to collections for $10k. I'm a self funded start up company. This could ruin my business. They don't care.
