About protel PMS

protel solutions form a robust technology stack for all hotel business types, with a worldwide team of local partners to support it. The ground-breaking app store, accessible directly via the protel PMS, has rapidly changed the way hotels and their technology vendors do business. Formed 25 years ago in Dortmund, Germany, shaped by one of the most dynamic overseas investment markets in the world, the beating heart of this modern software company serves only hospitality. The first cloud-native PMS and apps went live in 2009, and two consecutive Olympic villages - “the largest hotels on Earth“ - were built on protel. Operations expanded internationally to over 90 countries, leading to branch offices in Dubai, Vienna, and Atlanta. Currently, more than 14,000 hotels worldw...

Solid System

Solid system for small to medium size properties. I say this as I only implemented on this size property.

PROS

Ease of implementation for onboarding new properties from a group perspective

CONS

Reports are pretty standards and sometimes difficult to customize

Reason for choosing protel PMS

The group of hotels went through a extensive search to find the right fit that came with a CRS system

Reasons for switching to protel PMS

The property had to conform to Group minimum standards, one of which was to have Protel

focus is on own interests, customer needs are irrelevant

Protel is not a reliable partner As an IT service provider, Protel is not interested in automating the application The employees do their best, but customers cannot accept such a policy if they want to do business successfully

PROS

5 years ago we had a good contact and support good though not always quick. Since 2 years support for on premise products is declining quickly and the needs of customers are irrelevant

CONS

Protel does not keep its promises Protel leaves its on premise customers "out in the cold" Effective cooperation is blocked to the best of its ability

Good ,solid software with a lot of options , tons of reports and a lot of add ons.

PROS

Highly customisation in almost every feature of the software. Solid performance in sales, reservation and front office department . Restaurant POS operates well . Highly recommended for medium-larger hotel units who want to use the reports ...Lots of reports for revenue and not only .. Ease of use is not that good but it can be learned without much effort. Connectivity with third party software .Powerful add ons. Good costumer support Stable.

CONS

Price of the software could be more competitive . If you wish to get the proper value of the software add ons are compulsory not optional .So be ready to pay if you want the full range of "goodies" Interface bit dated , needs an update .Also the reservation module needs to show more information . In some new PC's sometimes the software crashes ( weird but unacceptable issue,)

Vendor Response

Dear Dim, Thanks for taking the time to share your valuable experience of working with our software. I'm really pleased to hear you're getting so much out of it. As for the downsides you have mentioned, we, like any other top #hoteltech vendor, are working hard on delivering even better value. Have you seen what the new protel.I/O can do? It addresses the interface/add-on conundrum; opening up our software to engage more freely with other vendor's products. Google what our CEO Ingo Dignas said 2 weeks ago at the HITEC Dubai - I'm sure you'll like it! Again, thanks for choosing protel. -Jeremy Armes, VP Marketing, protel hotelsoftware GmbH

Awesome product and very user-friendly.

PROS

This PMS has been a life saver, it has a vast amount of options and it is very easy to use this platform. It has a lot of data points and all the hotel team members are able to use this efficiently.

CONS

More functions/reports should be added. We have not seen any real changes since we started using this.

Vendor Response

Thank you very much for taking the time to review our PMS product, and for sharing your positive experience here with the community on Capterra. I can feel the "protel-Love" brimming over, and also acknowledge we can do even better. Although protel has been building successful PMS for nearly 25 years, we have not stood still. Our product is constantly evolving, due largely to customers like you, who let us know what current and future requirements they wish for. (More reporting? Got it!) There are lots of exciting additions in this space due to our new www.protel.io functionality. Ask your protel representative for details, or head over to the marketplace to see for yourself: smp.protel.io) Again, thanks for sharing your enthusiasm! Jeremy Armes, VP Marketing, protel HQ, Germany.
