### "My PSA Review"

May 6, 2024

5.0

Very user friendly Very efficient with accounting data entry, etc. Great customer service

Pros

I loved the Job costing reports to see profitability. I loved the Work in progress reports to see where we are in each department and what needs to be improved I loved that notes can be transferred from PSA to Xactanalysis, reducing double data entry All file management can be done in one place.

Cons

I didn't like the mobile application, it was slow and not efficient at the time

### "PSA makes utilizing a CRM easy"

December 3, 2021

5.0

It is truly an easy system to maneuver. The web version for job input is so simple and has greatly increased our productivity for job entries, updates, tracking info, etc.

Pros

Setting up jobs and tracking customers/losses is super easy, very hands on. The financial piece is not difficult either. There is very thorough training to get you up to speed and organize the system to benefit your company.

Cons

I feel we could be getting more out of it than what we currently are. That is our fault for not capitalizing on training and pursuing improvements in tracking, reporting, etc.

Reason for choosing PSA

Electronic reviews as well as personal reviews from other contractors. Also actual use by an employee who used this system previously.

### "Completely unhappy"

December 3, 2021

1.0

Completely unhappy. PSA seems like a money grubbing company who doesn't give a damn about their clients and helping them. you could care less about the success of your clients and your customer care is well below acceptable

Pros

honestly I feel like you do NOT give my business value and are a tremendous time suck trying to fix all the problems we run into with your system. and to ask for help we have to pay for the basic questions.

Cons

The fact I have to pay you for answers to problems with your software is mind blowing. email thru your system doesn't work and no one from psa will help us fix it. we had to pay for help and the help we get doesn't fix the problem then we have to fight to get help again and you want to charge us to fix the thing you were supposed to fix the first time. lack of knowledge base. no guide to work thru. your clock in and out is spotty at best.

### "PSA Review"

December 3, 2021

4.0

Pros

The ease of use is probably what I like most about this software. We were transitioning from a few other softwares to PSA, and getting everyone onboard and educated on how to use it was fast and easy. It is very user-friendly.

Cons

I do wish it had a few more bells and whistles on the time keeping side. I used to be in charge of cleaning up timesheets for payroll so I know it can be challenging. A lot of that has more to do with the way we do business and less about the functionality of the software though.

### "The review"

December 10, 2021

4.0

After using a few different programs this one is probably the favorite. Overall easy to use and can manipulate it to suit your companies needs.

Pros

The ease of use online. Adding creating jobs is nice and smooth. Creating work orders is nice and smooth. Adding notes and linking to XA is very nice.

Cons

The mobile app to me seems flawed. IMO it should auto sync, and finding and locating jobs is hard and half the time the job your searching for cant be found on mobile app even though it has been added to the web version. Crew cant clock into the jobs on the app because lots of times the job cannot be found.

### "Love and hate at the same time"

December 3, 2021

3.0

It has taken years to become fluent in all areas of the program. Support has been available and useful, but the costs associated with training can be overwhelming and can discourage mastery training.

Pros

I do love how detailed the program is and allows us to have everything in one place for documentation. I also like the custom reports and Smart Reporting. It also integrates well with some other programs.

Cons

It feels like the program is created by many different people, so it's fractured/inconsistent in design. Functions I may use on a semi-regular basis is difficult to find later because its location doesn't make sense. Or when I add a new staff member, I have to enter in information in three different areas to function properly. Poor design in many areas.

### "It's what it is"

September 30, 2021

3.0

the system is very capable, however it is just not there yet. there are a ton of improvements to be made. 64 bit would really be a good place to start as well.

Pros

it's better than anything else we have been able to find, however that still isn't good news

Cons

very bad timecard system, needs a lot of improvement. scheduling and project tracking not good at all, needs a lot of improvement too. The job lookup screen is VERY VERY slow and it is extremely inconvenient. integration to adp is not great either since the timecard hours system is bad

Reason for choosing PSA

oracle involves multiple products as they dont encompass everything in one program. therefore the price is a lot more

### "An economical option for basic project management"

December 7, 2021

3.0

We are able to save money as PSA is much cheaper than other programs. The customer support is very good and PSA does a good job in taking recommendations on how to make the program better and acting on it.

Pros

We find that the basic features of PSA work well for us. There is a lot of clicking to maintain up-to-date job data. PSA allows us to stay on top of the jobs we have and keep track of dates.

Cons

The reporting feature is frustrating. Exporting to Excel does not happen smoothly and much manipulation is required. We are also disappointed with the inability to click into job information from reports.

### "Honest Feedback"

December 13, 2021

2.0

I've had to retype notes because I was not using the most updated version of the product and my note did not sync into the system. Now I have trust issues and if I type a note, I always select all and copy it just in case there are issues with the system. This software is on the right track at getting to where it needs to be to work better, it just takes months to fix what seems like simple issues.

Pros

As a manager, I like having the digital job tracking and documentation. Everyone company wide can view the file without having to track down a paper copy of the file to view the contents of the job.

Cons

I get annoyed whenever the mobile version does not sync properly or if my technicians close out of PSA before the documents are finished uploading. This causes information to get missed or not upload until the next time they log on and sync their app. It would be more efficient to have an app that is in real time and will not need re-syncing every time something is added or uploaded.

December 8, 2021

5.0

My experience with PSA has been enlightening and rewarding.

Pros

Once I was familiar with the software it became easy to use, I like it much better than the web version

Cons

I wish there was an easier way to make my own reports for what I need

Reason for choosing PSA

They were using the program when I came to work for PuroClean

### "PSA view from estimator perspective"

December 3, 2021

4.0

I'm very comfortable with it as our system of record.

Pros

Record keeping. User friendly, interaction with outbound systems makes my job easier.

Cons

Accounting maybe, I'm not really in the AR field, but I have to produce invoices and work orders regularly. Entering the information to produce an invoice is not straight forward user friendly. One other thing. the format of some system documents is really rough when I need to move them out of PSA to desktop, specifically, dry log and scope sheet.

Reason for choosing PSA

It was already in place when I arrived 2 years ago.

### "PSA User Review"

October 12, 2021

5.0

We were able to condense a few software programs into one. It is great having job management, accounting, marketing, time keeping all in one system. Housing documents have proven beneficial for collection, court cases or simply to be able to help a customer from 5 years ago locate a replacement cabinet, paint color, etc.

Pros

It is an all in one software that can sync with multiple programs easily.

Cons

The beginning was a little rough, but once we got going, I do not feel there is a better product on the market.

Cons

We can not move, print, save a picture when you click on the picture (like when you open a picture on our computer), the note section is not useful like a outlook. Everytime we add sometingh in the program we have to paid for that, we don't have a package deal.

December 15, 2021

4.0

Overall it's been great. Not going to lie, the initiation and the onboarding was an adjustment and rough but it's all about change and how you accept it. We kept wanting it to be just like a previous product but once we adjusted to the new and useful features that PSA provides, we have been just ticking away with productivity in it, thanks so much!

Pros

Support supportive customer service, helpful and knowledgeable trainers, very useful features and well worth the money to help get out business services in line!

Cons

A little too robust for a smaller company like us but we hope to one day utilize all the features of the software.
