ByDesign is great. We have had the opportunity to work with several MLM software providers. ByDesign is cutting edge in comparison to the other providers we have used. Their price is one of the best comparatively speaking based on the tools and resources available. Their mobile responsive back office with the Pro upgrade leaves nothing to want Distributors to be 100% successful in monitoring and tracking their downlines success. Customer service is a pleasant experience that always provides quick and professional responses. The bottom line is if you are looking for a cheaper option there are out there, but if you are looking for a software partner that you will never have to switch from then, ByDesign truly is your best option. It's is great for start-ups as well and multi-million dollar industry giants.

Pros

There are several features about ByDesign, and honestly, that is the power behind the software there is so much customization that can be made to my environment without having to do custom programming. Some of the more useful features are the promotions engine for running sales and promotions and auto-shipment. The ease of use the software is excellent; we launched live with them, and within 1-2 weeks, my customer service was pretty confident.

Cons

As of right now, the thing I like least is the shopping cart. It is miles above their competition as many MLM software companies still run on outdated themes that provide a poor user experience. ByDesign has made massive improvements, but it still lacks behind Shopify, Big Commerce, 3D cart, and ext. I know they have additional updates planned, but as it stands, it is a little behind the market.

We loved Trinity Software. They are a fantastic company to work with, but we found ourselves spending more money on customization to get the software to support us. So we decided to look around. We found ByDesign what we were going to spend 40k-50k to do a few customizations ByDesign had built-in to their platform. Additionally, as we continued investigating the software, we found many other standard holes in MLM software were not found at ByDesign. Since we have launched with ByDesign, we have found they are very progressive and aware of enhancements that their software needs. We have been pleasantly surprised that the areas we felt were going to be a pain point were fixed with software updates ByDesign has taken on themselves to fix.

[MarketPowerPRO](https://www.capterra.com/p/151849/MarketPowerPRO/)

Reasons for choosing ByDesign Technologies

The number one reason we chose ByDesign over the alternatives is because of their Revolution back office for Distributors. Hands down the best experience and most tools for a Distributors back office. It is so simple for a Distributor to find anything they need and track all aspects of their team. With BuDesign's rank coaching feature, Distributors never have to call into us to discover what they need to focus on to rank advance and coach their team to rank advancement. Additionally, the price is excellent, and the rest of their software is a bridge of both worlds' best when it comes to the alternatives.

Pros

Rallyware has firsthand knowledge of and experience with ByDesign. They are an industry leader within the MLM software space. Their open architecture makes them easy to integrate with as they continuously improve the features and functionality across their platform. ByDesign’s client focused culture and concierge service is a perfect complement to Rallyware’s approach. They are all about helping their clients to enable their independent salesforce to be more successful. ByDesign’s data provides the information necessary allow Rallyware to deliver the right information to the right person at the right time. The ByDesign team is passionate about helping their clients and partners be successful. They are smart, friendly and easy to work with. Most importantly, they get the job done.

Cons

The only negative is that I do not get to interact with the ByDesign team on a more regular basis. They are a pleasure to work with.

Great experience because finally I can shut out any distractions and get serious work done.

Pros

It does what it is supposed to do. By preventing access to distracting websites, it gives freedom and time to its users.

Cons

I like the features and it's a practical way to gain focus because it's easy to get distracted online and with our devices.

Pros

Incredibly comprehensive feature / function capabilities.

Cons

Difficult to undertand how to utilize capabilities of software without engaging with SMEs within ByDesign organization, who are very busy and often inaccessible. Standard support does not enable us to effectively use platform.

Freedom is a very stable platform that has fantastic customer support behind it.

Pros

The software gives us a lot of flexibility to configure it in many different ways. From the way items are displayed in the shopping cart to running different promotions.

Cons

We are a party plan company, and we feel the party plan module needs a fair amount of updating. It should be an intuitive process and currently it is not.

Freedom is a great tool that allows our company to succeed. And when it doesn't have something we need, the team at bydesign, works with us to implement our needed feature.

Pros

What I enjoy the most is the significant number of variables that can be enabled, disabled, or configured in various ways to ensure we provide the best product for our global business partners. Each market is unique and having the ability to turn certain features on in one area and not in another is monumental in helping us achieve success.

Cons

Because there are so many features, it is important to make sure and analyze your choices before implementing them. This is why having a test environment available to us has really helped out.
