Pros/Cons
Pros
- Coupled with the fairly easy to use system and setup, I believe Helcim is one of the best, definitley the best for the price point, which I was just informed has been removed.
- I required support during a few steps of setup and was always responded to quickly and with great detail to help with any challenges.
- The application and approval process was quick and easy, had approval with 24 hours.
Cons
- I do not work with the system on a regular basis, so my own experience has been the lack of any problems or negative feedback from the people that do use it.
- But printer problems were only part of the headaches. The Helcim app, required near constant updating, and always lost it's connection if another transaction wasn't done within ~30 min.
- Even walking our client through each step, they'd still often make a mistake and have to start over because they'd hit the wrong button.
Pros
- Everything so far has been excellent. I am so happy to have this all ready to go for use and excited to use it.
- I am extremely satisfied with Vagaro and all supports in place. I recommend it to colleagues in the field.
- They LOVE having the ability to see their schedules from the personal smart phone/ tablet when they aren't at work. Our client's LOVE their texting reminders.
Cons
- Sometimes the card reader doesn't connect which is really frustrating because then I have to enter the credit card information by hand and get charged more. That's extremely frustrating.
- I spend countless hours a month combing the system for these errors and it makes our company look incompetent to our customers.
- Sometimes it's difficult to find what I'm looking for. That can be frustrating when I'm with a client.
