Customer service is brilliant. > > **Cons**: Certain aspects of the build are a little complicated and some support materials could do with updating. > > We have managed to build 3 brand new applications from the ground up and have been provided with excellent support at every stage. ----- ### "Softools Software Review" — 3.0/5 > **Steven** | *21 April 2021* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Zero code application. Ability to deploy application in hours. Database management and changes are easy to implement and therefore very cost effective. > > **Cons**: The software is missing user friendliness. A couple of areas should require a focus such as spliting the notifications of export, notification messages and notification from the system itself (copy and link). A dedicated area for each of this notification would ease the usage. Ability to adapt colours, font and how to organise the fields in the template (size, position, colour layout etc ...) > > As an overall this is a great system, easy to implement and add changes making it a cost effective product. ----- ### "Managing business projects using Softools" — 4.0/5 > **Richard** | *27 April 2021* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is easy and intuitive to use. It can be tailored to the needs of a business quite simply and with no need for any coding. If you were using it with clients or perhaps with other colleagues, the centrally held information can be updated and shared if required. We had previously used Excel spreadsheets to manage data across several functions but if this information needed to be updated and shared with others, there was always a problem with version control. This problem disappears if you use a Softools app. > > **Cons**: Some of the terminology used across the app was not something I had come across before (e.g. RAID) although it is all used widely across the apps so I got used to it quite quickly. The key is to invest a little time in the beginning, to understand how to tailor the app to your own requirements. It's worth doing this to maximise the benefits of using the app. > > I hadn't realised I needed it until I used it\! Then the advantages of a simple app with plenty of potential to adapt to meet my exact needs, became apparent. The centralisation of an up-to-date copy of data, particularly where there are several users needing to collaborate and share, is a major advantage. The dashboard feature allows me to gain a simple insight into how each project is progressing whilst allowing me to drill down for more information if I need it. ----- ### "It's something that is simple to understand, use and systematically record data" — 4.0/5 > **Pushwinder** | *4 June 2021* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The straightforward approach to data recording is hard to find in web applications. Softools is simple to understand and add data in a structured format. Also the additional features like bulk data imports helped us in getting the data across quickly. Exporting templates in the desired format has also been helpful for us. > > **Cons**: The user interface could be improved to make it more aligned with the rest of webpages on the internet. The sizes of the fonts and the choice of colors for the text could be improved for better user experience. > > I have been using Softools for more than a year now and after using similar softwares I believe the ease of implementation gives Softools an edge over the rest in the market. Features like exporting templated reports are also very helpful in getting the data across faster and by avoiding human errors. The overall experience has not been positive so far and I am sure with future updates it would remain similar. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2059597/softools?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2059597/softools) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
