Pros/Cons
  • Pros

  • They are always ready to help and super friendly. I love that they can remote in and show us what to do.
  • I really like how you can easily generate reports, that's important for my business and I believe this software can do the best job of it.
  • The software is great and the staff who have all been friendly and willing to help when I called for tech support.
  • Cons

  • I quit using this product with some regrets and went to Lightspeed, which I hate but at least I can get it to work. Using AIMsi was an unpleasant and frustrating experience.
  • The fact that I was charged for software and data transfer and received software without data transfer so it is useless. I have been waiting so long it was called AIMsi when I bought it.
  • And for example: having to get out of one frame and into another one for the same customer with a different question about their account is sometimes frustrating.

  • Pros

  • But we are happy with the functionality and effectiveness of Rain. The fact that Rain is continually improving and updating their system has only increased our satisfaction over the years.
  • M very happy overall and customer service/support are very good - the tech folks are knowledgeable, patient and kind.
  • Overall, the experience has been very good. Implementation was easy and the support was excellent.
  • Cons

  • Label printing is terrible. No dimension option for shipping calculations.
  • I've had at least 2-3 calls to different technicians ag in a row where I just felt bad for even calling.
  • My longtime email address was now blocked from sending. I had to purchase a business email and the integration was rather difficult.
