6Storage

Avantages

It has streamlined all processes within the business. I like that it is cloud based allowing me access from anywhere. Being a New Zealand based business I am extremly happy with the level of support being provided.

Inconvénients

There is not a lot that I don't like about it. Over the year that I have been using it I have mentioned a couple of items with the support team that would be helpful. They normally include these in the next release 1 to 2 months later

Pourquoi choisir 6Storage 

The previous owner of the business was using Xero for management of the facility. This did not handle all processes and therefore many manual process were also used. I still use Xero but for the accounting side of the business only

Pourquoi passer à 6Storage

I chose 6Storage for it's features and pricing. They even setup a custom website for me that was integrated into the storage software for online move-ins. Many of the features included in 6Storage would have been extra charges with some of the other options.

Avantages

Software customizability and seamless integration with payments accounts.

Inconvénients

Pricing of the product is not economical compared to that of other softwares performing same tasks.

Avantages

Easy of use. The people behind it know storage.

Inconvénients

There have been a few minor bugs during the roll-out of updates, but all have been addressed and fixed in a timely manor.

Avantages

Ease of use and reporting, integrations (like QB) and customer service are top notch!

Inconvénients

I don't really have any complaints to be honest :)

Avantages

It's ease of navigating around the program. It covers almost all the features needed to run the business. it was easy for a temp worker to pick it up and use while I was gone. I love the email report. It has come in very very handy. Also, the price in good.

Inconvénients

I would like the discounts to be easier to use. There needs to be allot more reports. Reports are essential. All this data going in and no way of seeing it. One that comes to mind is marketing. It would be useful to see how customers found us. It would be nice to be able to create more reminders like to remind me (not the customer) when a discount is going to end. I should be able to tell it, like other reminders, how many days to report to me. I wish transfers would only transfer the tenant from one stall to another and not recalculate anything especially if the rate did not change. It should simply move it.

Avantages

Excellent support 24/7 takes the stress out of storage management. The programme is easy to use.

Inconvénients

The ¨leads¨ section doesn't work for me.

Avantages

It's very easy to use, and very powerful. Its features are extremely user friendly and a huge time saver for our multi location business.

Inconvénients

Version 2 will sort out any cons. The 6Storage team have worked hand-in-hand with us to add and develop all of our requests.

Avantages

Ease of use and presentation. Great product support

Inconvénients

No cons to list. Very happy with 6storage

Avantages

I like all the automated stuff that's really great I especially like all the help that I get whenever I have a problem easy to get in touch with anyone on the text site

Inconvénients

I haven't really found anything that's wrong with the software so far everything seems to be working great

Avantages

Easy to use, ideal for keeping track of things.
Good selection of uses

Inconvénients

If an email is already registered on the system it will not let you enter it on another rental unit, I have to contact your people to change it for me.

Avantages

Ease of use. Did what we needed it to do.

Inconvénients

For us, everything worked as promised. We cant think of any improvements needed.

Avantages

Automation - invoices sent prior to billing date. Many beneficial features - 6Storage is constantly improving features which make our staff's job easier to keep accurate accounting and effective communication with our tenants. Communication - 6Storage is always available 24/7 and they collaborate with their entire versatile staff to solve our issues within a very reasonable time period and with grace. They are always courteous and patient and they never give up in solving our needs. Alen heads up the sales & tech support team and has been very helpful in educating us on the use of the program including one on one personal tutorials in real time. He cares, understands our needs and proves it by following through with every request and in a timely manner.

Inconvénients

Program runs a little slow but I partially blame that on we American's being impatient. Also, some features take several steps to get the job done - but the job does get done so I can't complain.

Avantages

Far and Away, the support is unequaled. Having been through multiple software conversions, I know there is ALWAYS need for technical support. These folks are incredibly helpful and available to chat on the software screen or in-person 24/7/365. Is software conversion easy? Never!! If someone says it is, run and don't look back. The other thing I get compliments-on, is the website they created for me. It was part of the package I bought and it was worth 2-years fees as far as I am concerned. Check mine out at AAAMetraMiniStorage.com.

Inconvénients

I think I was one of the earlier customers and it has taken me a while to figure out the reports and ask them to customize some functions for5 my needs. They have been good about creating features I have asked for.

Avantages

Great customer service, easy to use software.

Inconvénients

No support for mobile (at least so far).

Also, the amount of support time I got was really high.
