Great management of, categories, sub-categories, etc. including many data fields for tracking on all types of equipment. > > **Cons**: The service still has not returned to levels experienced years prior. Some innovation is pushed out as wins while items of interest provided by users on their own innovation submission platform are overlooked by development. > > Declining service keeps me looking for new solutions at this point. What they do well is great, how they prioritize new features, over service or feature requests is frustrating. ----- ### "Overall a GREAT PICK\!" — 5.0/5 > **Rachel** | *10 December 2024* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's very comprehensive. The Elite system has a wide range of functionality and customization to fit your use case. The team is diligent about asking about your business, how it operates, and how its current processes so that they can fit POR to match your specific needs. They walk you through different processes and show you how to use the software for your needs, as opposed to just a general overview of how to do something, they customize all aspects to your company. Very personable onboarding and team. They are thorough and helpful and overall easy to work with. > > **Cons**: Most notably, the cost. However, it is a very valuable investment. You get A LOT in the software, and it's not doubt worth the expense. There is a lot to learn, so be prepared for it to take some time to get used to, and to train others to use the system. > > Overall, a great experience. Truly, highly recommend POR. Their team is knowledgeable, seasoned, and intentional. ----- ### "Best software we have used." — 5.0/5 > **Greg** | *5 November 2018* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use, very helpful staff and the level of detail within the product is what we like most. I love that they listen to their users and provide updates based on that feedback. > > **Cons**: Reporting options can be challenging to learn, but usually there are multiple ways to get to same report, just takes some time to figure it out. > > The ease of new employees learning of the software is a great bonus, and the level of detail and constant improvement provided is great. Our old system was hard to learn on and did not provide same level of reporting as point of rental does. ----- ### "POR is much easier to use than Party Track\!" — 4.0/5 > **Angela** | *30 May 2023* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that it is an easy system to use. I have used Party Track before and I love POR way more\! > > **Cons**: I wish the sorting was easier to use so that items that go together always show up on the contract without having to physically sort each contract. I also wish some of the reports were easier to figure out. I hate the updates all the time since we have had to physically do them. However, we are moving to the cloud in July, so I'm excited for that to happen\! > > We have had some glitches lately that have impacted our business - mostly from credit card issues. Most of the issues prior to that have been easy to fix and your representatives are always pleasant. ----- ### "Great software with lots of innvovation but lacks some customization and support" — 4.0/5 > **Todd** | *2 June 2023* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Integrations, ease of use, many features, constantly evolving > > **Cons**: Support is not good. Long hold times, inconsistent training on support, after hours support almost non-existent for a 24 hour business. Many times front line support is unaware of features and fixes and it is tough to speak to an experienced support person. Takes too long to get through, get calls back, and get support in the event of a catastrophic failure. > > POR is the main component in our business and without it we cannot conduct our operations. We have been with the system for over 20 years, seen lots of innovative features, and every version keeps getting better and better. Need more support on their staff and implementations are not smooth but its a great product. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/84434/rental-essentials?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/84434/rental-essentials) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
