The contracts, proposals, and invoices are all simple to use and allow me to keep all of these important documents organized, easily accessible, all while making the process simple for my clients.

I was so thrilled when I found Indy because it offered me more of what I needed for a lower price that what I was previously using.

Another huge plus for me is that Indy does not charge extra for payment transactions (only the fee direct from the payment processor applies). The customer service is also fantastic.

The pricing is wonderful, especially for single small business owners where expenses are a huge concern, and it is definitely worth the price.

I enjoyed using Indy I enjoyed creating the voice It was simple and it was done quickly I appreciated the aftercare and follow up.

I'm just starting out with my business so it's very important to me to be able to deliver for my clients, and Indy has been doing a great job of making sure I don't drop the ball.

Indy is a great solution in that it saves time prospecting clients and signing contracts. It gives you added confidence when signing agreements with larger entities.

Good experience- a good option for freelancers to consider.

I still can't believe that they offer all these tools for such a low price. It's super easy to use on both the business and client's end.

Hard to get clients on board with using the system.

Indy is super easy to use and manage. As a freelancer with multiple clients and points of contact, I love having everything I need on one platform.

It's nice to look at and an easy UX. I just need it to be more robust for my other ventures.

I love the ease of use in sending and receiving signed contracts. It's easy to edit and easy to sign on the customers end.

My overall experience with Indy has been incredible. I worked with them when they were still known as Tispr, and even through their entire rebranding, they were super communicative and helpful.

The lack of invoicing features that distinguish this service from similar services.

I've been using the app on my phone when I am on the go and I found it very challenging to see where all my contracts are. I don't know why, but there is no button to see a particular contract.

What makes that even better is that you can integrate PayPal and Stripe so that you can receive payment right away after your client approves the project. These are some of the pros of using Indy.

I love how easy it is to create contracts and invoices on the fly. The customer service is pretty responsive in terms of timeliness and active listening.

I love the variety of features that allows me to accomplish all my customer tasks from invoicing to contract management in one platform.

Makes tracking difficult come tax time… can’t customize things… also you can’t integrate Indy with other business management tools.

I would like to see more integration with other products (like Google Drive) so the two main platforms I use can be seamlessly integrated and updated all the time no matter which platform I am in.

Customer service has been great the few times I reached out to them. They've continued to add new features (that I don't really use).

First, best value for your money. Super easy to use, you're able to duplicate invoices, integrate Stripe just for certain invoices and keep track of payments all very convenient and easy.

As a user, it's easy to see that the team genuinely cares about helping their customers succeed rather than just collect a subscription fee every month.

That's my biggest problem with it, and when my other business get busier I will have to switch to another company most likely.

Whenever I experience any issue, the customer service team is always quick to respond and resolve and that is a big plus.

I absolutely love the contract builder that Indy has. It's easy and intuitive to navigate.

The product is incredibly user friendly and easy to use, and I can customize different areas (like my time tracking, invoices, and contracts) to be populated with my information.

The time tracking feature is still a little difficult to use.

Affordability and ease of use. I really appreciated the templates.

Very happy with the software. It's always a win when you find software that actually works at a pricepoint that makes sense.

Some of the features cost extra money. Poor code requires constant updates and can't able to look back at transactions.

They have poor customer service for an even worse product. Issues regularly and no resolve.

The integration of all of the packages and the easy customization to your needs. I like that you can get as much detail or as little detail as you require on your reports.

It seems like Cougar forgot all the lessons they learned through their DOS and CMS products. The reports are terrible and less informative than those in CMS.

It is a super value when you see all that it can do. Plus it is not just for mom and pop.

We are just getting ready to go live with Denali, have been practicing on it and it seems very user friendly.

Many features not right. My CPA hates the software.

He was thorough, responsive and very friendly. I highly recommend Cougar Mountain.

We have had Cougar Mountain software for a while and are very happy with the product and customer services.

This review is for the 4.1.1 version. I am told the new version corrects some of the defects -- but they have miles and miles and miles and miles to go to catch up to their ACT version.

The trainer was awesome and the few times we have needed tech support I have been pleased with their responsiveness.

I like the integration of the modules (ie.e purchase order, to inventory, to accounts payable, to general ledger). This speeds up all data entry.

I had to convert to DENALI due to an OS upgrade. I have never been so disappointed in a Cougar Mountain product.

I use the Denali Payroll and it is very easy to use and the software support people are great.

They have messed up our Customer notes and can not fix so now we really have a mess. When I ask a question, I am told they can not answer that and they don't know why the reports look the way they do.

The Program writers did a great job with the transitioning into Denali. The Software is easy to access, understand and maneuver though.

For the money, the features are excellent and I challenge you to find a better product in the price range. We have been using CMS since 1992.

We really like being able to archive reports rather than printing reams. Overall, this software is great.

Poor code requiring constant updates/fixes. Which most time is Full 3gb.

The Support Staff is outstanding. Every time I have needed them they have solved the problem or answered my question successfully.

The customer service is beyond awesome. Not only are they extremely knowledgeable, they are eager to help learn the product and use it to its full capabilities for your application.
