I'll never have any other DMS!

5.0 6 months ago

Comments: They are wonderfull!! I've been with them since 2008. They have always been able to address my needs and ideas and adapt programs (or features) to make everything work like it was custom made just for me.

Pros:

They always are introducing great new features and the support team is fast and thorough. My account rep, [sensitive content hidden], isn't just a "sales person", talking to him is like talking to one of my fraternity brothers. And he always gets me "hooked up" with exactly the right person to hear and understand my questions or needs.

Cons:

I'm an early riser on the east coast and AutoManager is based on the west coast. Sometimes I have to wait a few hours if I need help, but then again they always call early (for them) as soon as they check their messages. And they are definitely worth the wait.

BUyer Beware

1.0 3 years ago

Comments: Terrible, expensive, experience

Pros:

There’s nothing Good about this company and their practices..

Cons:

This is a manipulative company, they con you into signing up and paint a pretty pitcher, once they take your money and don’t produce a viable software like they claim, and then you decide to cancel, be it within a week, THEY WILL KEEP ALL OF THE MONEY YOU GIVE THEM! To the tune of 6k for our company… Find another software! There are Software companies with Integrity, this is not one..
