It's a good system
Pros
The UI is very intuitive and easy on the eyes. Not a lot of searching for the functions I need. It functions well enough, has similar features to other PMS programs I've used.
Cons
I don't really have any cons to add, it's a typical PMS. They all have pluses and minuses but they basically do the same thing.

The only thing I like least about this product is that yes means no and the no means yes.

The vendor Northwind is outstanding. Great support. Great sales team. They listen to customers and worked closely with our team to understand our software needs, IT resources, personnel, and our customers. Their attention to our needs helped their product stand out as the right fit for our resort. We purchased the highest level of support and they have gone above and beyond to deliver what we need.
Maestro has countless customized and customizable options. It has numerous modules for the different operations of a resort like ours.

Northwind is based in Canada, so we changed our phone plan to package calls to Maestro tech support.
Maestro has a basic GUI design. User interface has the outdated look, feel, and functionality of a text-based interface. Menu bar and menu lists are not intuitive and some lists are 20 items long making it hard to find menu items. Copy and paste only available in text entry boxes. Cumbersome, not intuitive. Although the data can be found, it can take 10-12 steps to locate it.
Recommendations
Recognizing Northwind is a small independent software company that is a stark contrast with mega-corporation Micros, which makes Opera PMS. While Opera PMS fits great in many hotels, the unique aspects of a resort like ours can all be handled in Maestro PMS from golf tee times, to horse trail rides, to all the different room types, privately owned home-owner association units in our rental pool, banquets event orders and invoices, maintenance tracking and billing, and so much more.

The best thing about Maestro PMS is the support team associated with the product. From the rep. in the analytics department, to the one in customer support, every team member you interact with is there to help you in any way they can.
Pros
Availability to create the system as we see fit! The opportunities to customize our property to our liking is very beneficial! The analytics that come with the PMS are outstanding!
Cons
Connectivity to other programs. We have had a very difficult time finding a CRM that has two-way communication with Maestro.

Cons
Trying to figure out the best way to do some things can be difficult, and certain things that are seemingly simple are often a lot more complicated than they should be

Pros
After the initial handover and training some systems can be difficult to use, not this one, Nice and easy to use with some great information to hand. Makes life so much easier with the way things are processed.
Cons
Some more work could be done to the interface to bring it more up to date with the fast-paced industry.

Pros
The hospitality industry is about people - connecting people, servicing people, and other various interactions. Having a key software vendor that is also about people is invaluable. The support staff at Maestro are what sets them apart from their competition - the Canadian hospitality is on full display here.
Cons
As is common with PMS suites, the interface is a bit dated in its look. The HTML version is a bit more polished however.

I find Maestro to be very intuitive when learning the system...great ease of use. The interfaces have greatly simplified and enhanced our ability to communicate within the property management system. Most importantly, the customer service is beyond 5 star! Quick response from caring and concerned partners. I highly recommend Maestro!
