mackerr Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 These guys work with Filemaker and didn't realise how great the MAC market was They do now and 2011 will be completely MAC focused!! Hallelulah.... It's good to see this kind of product available for MacOS, but really, they work with Filemaker and didn't realize what the MacOS market was? Filemaker is a division of Apple.

Harnz Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Hi,I have been using hireezy for the past 3 years exclusively. The products Positives:Software methodology is fantastic, The user interface design is very pleasing to the eye, (cool icons, colours and layout)In modern and integrated features like Youtube Videos, Twitter, SMS notification, brochure creation & more etcMulti-User application The products Positives:Lots of minor bugs in application (i.e. Incorrect tab order in fields, Incorrect reports run when selected to run, Incorrect sorting of package items when added to quotes, and many many more...)Has become very difficult to get support, even though I have paid for yearly maintenance. I have actually given up.Package overall is very clunky, slugish. Searching through inventry and updating content is fine and works well but creating quotes and bookings with several packages makes the system very slow.(I have approx. 800 inventry items)Not a simiple install process (this may have been refined now) My business is growing and after 3 years of persisting with it, I am moving on. I need some thing that is rock solid in terms of performance and stability.I believe more important then feature set, you need to have a solid foundation. In SummaryHireezy is a front end for a FileMaker DB, so very similar to Access DB for PC.Whilst these base platforms provide a great avenue to create fantastic business applications, my experience in both is you are starting your foundation for your business application on the wrong foundation. Currently looking atRental Desk NXRent MasterAV Rental DBHirePos (NOTE: My comments above are totally based on my own experiences, The circumstances with the above could have changed. I have no affiliation with any firms/companies. I am in the business of film equipment rental. I am a End User of the product) If anyone can provide any feedback on the products that I am looking into that would be great. (Please do not comment if you have an affiliation with one of the companies mentioned) Ronji, have you used Hireezy before? I saw that they have just been bought out, or at least had a change around as their website last week said it was no longer operating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
