I really enjoyed it's features and easy of use. Very complete. Unfortunately it didn't fullfill all my business needs #### Cons It wasn't flexible enough to my needs since I manage a Guesthouse and apartments --- ### FDA Hospitality Booking Engine and More - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Sean M. - Industry: Hospitality - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered FDA has been a great system for us to grow. Other than the Cons mentioned, we really have no complaints. It is a difficult system to learn (onboarding/set-up was more difficult than our previous platform; 3-6 months to become comfortable), but once mastered, it is easy to navigate and customize. In hindsight, the difficulties we had were mostly due to the robust functionality, which we use every bit of. If I could make any single change, it would be to streamline the communication with customers by making email templates easily editable/more user friendly, and allowing emails/SMS text alerts to be sent to ALL guests at one time, without the need for a timed template. 3rd party software integration will allow this to be done, but including it in the package would make the system even stronger. Overall, we decided to go with FDA after demoing 3 other systems (the functionality was superior and it checked all of our requirements at the time). Automatic itemized invoicing and auto-emails were our most basic requirements, and FDA goes far beyond. My hope is that money continues to be invested into further developing the system; if so, FDA is going to be hard to beat. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros - internet based system, can be accessed from numerous devices - itemized nightly invoices - unlimited auto emails (pre/post dated from check-in/check-out date) which integrate with external email system - IBE integrates with Wix created websites - rate manager is extremely easy to use - create trouble tickets online, response time is satisfactory - integrates with channel managers and 3rd party software #### Cons - no mobile app, only mobile website (can be a pain to login/logout on phone) - 24/7 support exists, but difficult to get ahold of tech support by phone at any given time (typically will get a call back within 24 hrs.) - cannot highlight rooms to create blocks/reservations (must open new reservation tab in either case) - customized emails require coding experience (not user friendly) - inability to email ALL guests with custom email (for alerts, temporary hazards, etc.) --- ### Great product, great support ! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kamal S. - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used unspecified for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Great staff and product ! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Ease of use. Works well on mobile platforms. Very quick and responsive tech support. Always there for you.Visual tape make its easy get snapshot of week or month. #### Cons Product needs some enhancements in the housekeeping module. The auto e-mail module needs work. It would be nice to be able to package other product . --- ### Efficient support team! Great software for hotel operation, services, and time management - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Rada A. - Industry: Hospitality - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I've been using Frontdesk Anywhere as our PMS software for 3 years now. As a Sales and Marketing manager of an independent hotel, this cloud based software is a gem. Their support team gives us a comfort with 24 hours support service, and immediate hands on to resolve the glitch that we encountered. With this software, our team can review the occupancy forecast, plan our promotions, as well as monitor and manage our rate via the rate manager or booking suite tab to keep an eye on our competitors price. This allows us to adjust the our rate within a few second. The software is upgraded regularly which, often times, added a new and exciting features on to their software. Recently, we are thrilled with reputation tab which allows us to track all online reviews and see our current rating. It's great for us to quickly respond to reviews from OTAs and Tripadvisor, as well as to recover the hotel reputation through Frontdesk Anywhere software. In short, we're incredibly happy with the report analytics, reservation system, and online reputation channels which save us a heap amount of time on complicated stuff and spare us more time to focus on the real hospitality service with our hotel guests. #### Cons We are looking forward to be using their full function of POS software. At the moment, we use the lite version that comes with the package but the result is great anyway. --- ### User friendly. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Doris C. - Industry: Hospitality - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Easy to use #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Easy to set up, quick to learn. Visually very clear and pleasant. Easy to run different reports. Use of different colors for different status of the bookings. #### Cons Not able to scroll horizontally so it is hard to see bookings more than a month. No CVV pre-authorisation (CVV can be hidden after pre-authorisation but the system should allow pre-authorisation with CVV checked). Payment between group folio and individual folios should be transferable. Report involving group accounts not always accurate. All emails sent to guest include price information and cannot be omitted - very often guest would think we are sending the same email though the information underneath the price information are different. We are not able to change the subject (Guest Confirmation xxxxx) when sending manual email through the system. No line break or font changes (bold, underline) for additional message under option. More flexible and customized user levels - we try to put add on rate changes and changes in check-in messages at the basic level but not possible. --- ### Tons of Potential - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Nicki H. - Product usage: Used unspecified for unspecified - Reviewed: April 2015 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Pro's - Fairly user friendly. Like the ease of integrating website and online booking agents so I only have to manage availability and rates through the FDA system. Like that it is web based and information can never be lost. Simple to train staff of basic functions of the system. Lots of great reporting for future projections and marketing. Con's - Reporting for month end reconciliation purposes needs improving. We had been reconciling to the Trial Balances Report but there is definitely a glitch somewhere. We are not sure why our balances outstanding totals for previous months, that had already past, would change. It should not be changing historical data. This is the main reason for the 3 star rating. T Do not like that you cannot see your check outs from the reservation screen. I know you can select "check outs" from the list on the left and get all of your check out for the day but I think it would make more sense to put a line through the middle of each day so you have a clear visual of which units are leaving and arriving rather than having to flip flop between the check out/in lists. It would be nice if you could drag reservations to different units instead of having to go into the folio and transferring that way. Sometimes I can see that there is availability in another unit and it still won't let me transfer guest. I double check dates, refresh screen and still cannot make that unit available although I can clearly see it is. Last time I checked the "work order" option was not functioning properly. I could create them but could never delete them as finished. Same with the housekeeping options. Your system should also be able to integrate with the telephone system. We have an NEC and I cannot link my cash calling account software to it. So I have to have a separate program on my hard drive that I have to refer and add the telephone calls to the invoices separately. If all of the functions and reporting worked properly this system would be amazing but unless you can get the reporting rectified or someone can give me a straight answer as to why its changing historical data we will be forced to look at another reservation program...which I don't want to do. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 #### Vendor response Hi Nicki, Thank you for your feedback. It is appreciated! I've followed up with our development team to ensure they are investigating the discrepancies you've noticed in your historical reports. As for the other items you mentioned, we have been working on these issues and you will see these problems eradicated as well as many other enhancements including drag and drop as features in upcoming releases of Frontdesk Anywhere. Thank you again for your feedback. Kind Regards, John Replied April 2015 --- ### Nunnally House at Southeast Georgia Health System - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Bryan T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Very good overall experience. In six years I've had maybe three issues with the program where I had to contact Support via email. Their response time was always fast, once within the hour and recently within 4 hours but they called with a report and asked for additional information on the problem.. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It's very simple and intuitive to use. The reservation layout is easy to read and I like the ability to quickly look at reservations for a few days ahead or up to a month in advance. We serve cancer patients undergoing treatment, family members of critical care patients, medical students and medical staff. The program gives us the ability to distinguish different types of rooms for our various guests and quickly change schedules as needed. #### Cons There are so many options for generating reports that I sometimes have trouble deciphering the titles and finding what I need. Once I figure out what it is it's simple.... --- ### Not User Friendly - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Justin F. - Industry: Hospitality - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It is the least intuitive PMS I have ever used in my 15 years of industry experience. I do not believe the software was ever tested in a live hotel. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros It has a friendly support team. Night Audit functionality is a breeze. #### Cons It lacks even the most basic functions of a PMS: Early check out is not possible. You can't check out a room the same day it has been checked in. This forces you to "hold" until it can be checked out. It has almost no options for reports that a front desk agent can print unless they have management access. Housekeeping room status is on a separate tab. This makes it difficult to quickly change a room status and often confuses the housekeeping department. Changing a room number is nearly impossible if the hotel is sold out. The system forces you to slot rooms like a puzzle. If no slots are open it is extremely difficult to change the assigned room number. You can make them unassigned but will receive a "sold out warning" and will still not be able to change the assigned number. The billing and creation of invoices is overly complicated and not intuitive. There is also no way to refund a charge processed via the POS. The software also contains many glitches-housekeeping room status seems to change for no apparent reason despite the set rules. Invoices sent as an email fail to be delivered. --- ### Great Software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jeanina D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospitality - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Good system overall with different work areas and features. The system is very intuitive and staff learned how to use it quickly which was a big plus. We have been customers of FDA since their latest version and they have performed great updates on the system, especially around reports, rate management and group reservations. We like the chat box where you can reach support and speak to them. We use the program 24/7 and are quite happy about it. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The software is easy to use. The team members learn how to use it quickly thus it saves time. Screen set up clear and it has all the features we need. #### Cons These are some reports I miss like lead time of bookings. Over all it does have be basics needed. --- ### Easy to use, web based hotel operating system - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: David S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospitality - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We use FDA to operate four very busy hotels in the Los Angeles area. The system allows us to make reservations, check guests in & out of the system, track deposits, run a multitude of reports including sales and future revenue on the books. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros As a web based system, I have access to all of my hotel properties from anywhere in the world, including my smart phone. The grid view of our hotel rooms is a great visualization of hotel occupancy and available rooms. The system is very easy to use and makes training new employees very simple and cost effective. #### Cons All software programs can have glitches and FDA is no exception. The customer service & support team has always been responsive to challenges. #### Reasons for choosing Frontdesk Anywhere The biggest selling points for us is the web based approach as well as the easy of learning the system. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 121 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hotel-management/frontdesk-profile/reviews/) ## Other Top Recommended Reservations Software [WebRezPro](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hotel-management/webrezpro-profile/) **4.6** (218) Recently recommended **23** times [Guesty](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hotel-management/guesty-profile/) **4.4** (480) Recently recommended **16** times [roommaster](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hotel-management/roommaster-profile/) **4.3** (130) Recently recommended **16** times [Cloudbeds](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hotel-management/cloudbeds-profile/) **4.3** (346) Recently recommended **15** times Stuck Between Options?
