Great Customer Service
Pros
This product did not answer all of our answers, but FieldEdge was always willing to help! They made sure our needs and concerns were their needs and concerns. Their customer service is excellent!
Cons
They are continually adding features so many features we needed at the beginning they did not have. They now do!
Reasons for Choosing FieldEdge
User interface ease of use customer service willingness to find ways to make it work for our company
Reasons for Switching to FieldEdge
The system was clunky. They also continued to want more and more money in order to get the system to work for us. It definitely did not meet our needs.

Great software for a smaller company & cost effective
Overall, it is a good system for the price. It gets the job done, syncs with quickbooks online, and is rather user friendly.
Pros
I like the amount of options the overall program offers; such as tracking call sources, maintenance agreement tracking, installation/equipment tracking, general layout of the software itself.
Cons
Some cons for me would be the lack of in depth or interactive reporting; I would like to see them roll out the option to pull custom report vs the built in ones. We have encountered multiple issues with "downtime" when the FieldEdge system gets interrupted & the office and technicians cannot login, this causes many issues and is very inconvenient. They do actively try to get it resolved, but when you're in our industry any downtime can cause major disruptions. I would like to see more options for the communication templates as well - such as being able to send appointment booking confirmation & reminders (as well as more interactive edits with the emails i.e. being able to decide when to send the appointment reminder rather than it just being a day before reminder.)
Reasons for Choosing FieldEdge
At the time, it felt like a better fit for our company and had more of what we were looking for than Housecall Pro.
Reasons for Switching to FieldEdge
Honestly, cost. FieldEdge at the time seemed most comparable to ServiceTitan and was far more reasonable with cost for us since we are smaller.

Good and easy to use
Great. Again only thing I disliked was crashing during mobile.
Pros
Easy to use. Efficient and foreman’s seemed to like a lot. Only reason I changed software is due to company growth
Cons
Freezes up a lot of crashes in middle of using without WiFi connections. Seems better for smaller companies
Reasons for Switching to FieldEdge
I switched from this to JobProgress

Great Staff and Growing Platform
Overall the team at Fieldedge is willing to work with you which is something you don't often find when working with a vendor. They are flexible, friendly and generally pleasant to work with, which helps make up for some of what the service may lack. There are plenty of options out there but if you're looking for a partner instead of a rigid behemoth, Fieldedge is a great choice.
Pros
The system is relatively simple to use and the support staff is almost always fantastic to work with. Grace, my CSM is practically a member of our team and goes way above and beyond to help us with anything we need. She's a big part of the reason why we're still with this system.
Cons
Reporting leaves a lot to be desired, and overall, the system needs polishing along with a heavier, more focused approach to developing from the end user's needs. I feel like they'd gain 10x the insight into how to measurably improve the product if they spent some time with a company who uses it regularly.

FieldEdge great for small to medium sized companies
Fieldedge helped streamline our company and operations substantially from our paper invoice and reporting previously. The basic functions were easy enough to train someone on in a day. Some of the more integral functions were a bit confusing and required technical help. The technical help for fieldedge is outstanding.
Pros
Ease of learning curve on basic functions was very manageable scheduling is straightforward and can be accomplished with a few simple clicks researching a customers history is an integrated tool and very easy to navigate
Cons
Overall the software seems a bit dated some features and functions many new estimating/scheduling software packages are implementing are not included such as text notifications for customers.
Reasons for Choosing FieldEdge
Fieldegde provided a package deal that also included some business coaching and financial guidance that made the total package very attractive.
