Project Manager Design ### "Ivy Review" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 November 5, 2024 Overall it has been an okay experience. I am not able to utilize the software to its maximum. Pros the dragging of the items inside a proposal; the clipper and the different compartments it has including photo, url, vendor description, etc. Easy to add attachments and rename, easy to adjust payments posted. Tear sheets generation. Cons The fact that it is proposal driven as opposed to product driven. I cannot organize items by room, or filter at all. It is hard to search or look for specific items. Reports are not intuitive; there is not tracking at all existing - if so, very minimal. No color codes on items status. Extremely slow.

Cons It didn't seem as rebust as the system (MyDoma) that I chose. Switched from [Studio Designer](https://www.capterra.com/p/217839/Studio-Designer/) Studio Designer was great byut too difficult to correct errors.

Interior Designer Design ### "Great Concept" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 February 7, 2020 We like how intuitive the software is, saving time by adding products, creating tear sheets, and getting client approval within moments. Pros This program makes tracking our products very easy, and customer service has been fantastic! We love being able to add things from all over the web and customize them to our needs. Cons There are a few things with billing that end up being duplicated in quickbooks. In that same respect they are duplicated within the project tracker (so in order to track appropriately you must save to a spreadsheet and delete the duplicated items - difficult when you have 10+ pages of products). Switched from [Buildertrend](https://www.capterra.com/p/70092/Buildertrend/) We were transitioning from construction to simple design and needed a more specific product.

Owner/Designer Design ### "Banking Nightmare " 2.0 Overall Rating 2.0 2.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 January 18, 2020 Very stressful. I am canceling their service Pros I bought Ivy because it was designed for interior designers and it was recommended by ASID (American Society of Interior Designers) Ivy has a easy to use extension that makes it very easy to add materials and pricing to your personal inventory from any website. Ivy also has a project management system to track purchases and tasks responsibilities. Cons I have only had an account with Ivy for less than 2 months and have had several major banking issues. 1st it was hard for me to link my bank account to my profile. My Ivy account manager ended up having to do it manually. 2nd they somehow linked a bank account that was not mine to my profile, so when my clients paid me I was not getting the payments. They had to refund my clients their money, then I had to re-send the invoices for them to pay again. Which was very embarrassing. 3rd they have been attempting to take a large amount of money from my bank the whole month, which they are not authorized to do. Causing me hundreds of dollars in insufficient fund fees. On top of this, there is No customer service/tech support number for Ivy. I only have an email and phone number for my assigned Ivy account manager. Who is available by appointment only, even though I paid for the Unlimited Package that "includes" priority support. How can you run a business with no access to tech support!!??

My clients love how they can see the products that I am either proposing or invoicing. Pros It is built for an interior design firm. It is very professional and easy to use. Cons I wish this software tracked (time and date stamped) when adjustments were made to the invoice or proposal and each time a client was reviewing either. Reasons for choosing Ivy Ease of use.

Principal, Lead Designer Design ### "Best Investment I've Made" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 July 25, 2019 Terrific! Pros How straight forward most aspects of the software are. It was great to be able to get set up with a demo, talk to a team member and get set up in less than a weeks time. Added bonus, the Ivy FB group is EVERYTHING! Cons There are still some areas that are clunky. I frequently reach out to my CSM to let her know that a few tweaks and the things that I have to work around, would save me so much time.

Lead Designer Design ### "Ivy Review" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 July 24, 2019 Excellent customer service, intro to product and easy to get up and running on. Positive so far but the accounting part of it is nowhere near as sophisticated as Studio Designer which we have used for years. Pros Great client portal, easy to get started on and the company seems to be very open to questions and feedback. We love that they are constantly working to make the software better for designers by implementing new features all the time. Cons It is weak on the accounting end and there are some small tweaks that still need to be made to allow for more internal notes on products, keeping track of items and reporting profits easily and on each item.

Interior Designer Design ### "Geared for designers " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 2.0 2.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 July 24, 2019 This program combines accounting with specifying, ordering, follow through and taxes. Pros I like that it’s feared specifically for interior designers. Cons Customer service is not convenient. I don’t like how I have to set up an appointment for a question and sometimes have to wait 3-4 days to get an answer. Switched from [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) QuickBooks didn’t have enough features geared toward interior design needs.
