A MORE DEDICATED SUPPORT GROUP. ----- ### "Overall I am happy with PrintSmith" — 4.0/5 > **Andreea** | *9 December 2024* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's a great platform overall. It's pretty intuitive to use once you get the hang of it. It has a lot of data available in the database if you get into creating your own reports, which is very useful. I had positive interactions with support as well. > > **Cons**: The reporting module is not great. You have to really know how to code in inet designer and all the reports are static. We had to purchase another product (Plan Prophet) on top of PrintSmith to give us all that we need. PS has a very archaic system for tracking customer followups and team collaboration and there is no way to automate any customer followups or pretty much anything. I really dislike the super long term contracts whenever you ask for a new user license. Support hours are ridiculously expensive. You have to pay a lot of money for training. PS does not have any good video training. You have to heavily rely on the user manual, which is a great manual if you are a super technical person. Videos would be a lot more helpful. It also takes a long time to get new features implemented. > > Overall, I am happy with PrintSmith. I like it, but I don't consider it a complete product, hence the fact that we had to get PlanProphet on top of it. ----- ### "Was good, but falling." — 3.0/5 > **Darrell** | *26 November 2024* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Was (as in past tense) a really good system. But it seems like development and even support have declined. > > **Cons**: See "pro's" to understand the con's to the system. > > Used to be really good, and good responses. Also had developments and enhancements. Seems to have slowed to a halt. ----- ### "Easy for Beginners" — 5.0/5 > **Andrea** | *25 November 2024* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is very easy to learn for someone with no industry experience. > > **Cons**: Some things don't quite work all the time or as intended. > > From start to finish, working with PrintSmith is easy to learn and pick-up on. As someone who was new to the printing industry, I had a lot to learn but PrintSmith made it a lot easier and brought the learning curve down. ----- ### "PrintSmith is a Workhorse" — 4.0/5 > **Darryl** | *25 November 2024* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have been using PrintSmith since the early 1990's and while it has had some bugs, the tram is responsive and it consistently gets the jpb done. > > **Cons**: 1. Updates require an entire manual reinstall instead for thr self-hosted server instead of the more familiar single click authorization, then the software handles the updates seemlessly. 2. Forms require a third party app and specialized skill. while enterprise sized business may have the resources to "program" and make changes to fors, small family owned companies do not. Everything has moved to simple Codeless programming with drag and drop capabilites and the forms should as well, without the third party software. > > It's been good. And it's a workhorse. Just needs to be more intuitive and software management could be simplified. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/211720/ePs-PrintSmith-Vision?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/211720/ePs-PrintSmith-Vision) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
