En savoir plus sur SiteMinder

SiteMinder est une plateforme complète d'acquisition de clients en ligne pour les hôtels indépendants, les groupes et les chaînes. Cette technologie basée sur le cloud aide les hôtels à accroître leur clientèle et à remplir leurs chambres via des canaux directs (site web et pages de réseaux sociaux leur appartenant) et des canaux tiers (connus sous le nom d'agences de voyages en ligne), dont plus de 400 sont connectés à SiteMinder, notamment Booking.com, Expedia et Airbnb.

Very Reliable and easy to use

Avantages

I have used SiteMinder for almost 10 years. This channel manager is very reliable and easy to use. I highly recommended to revenue manager and general manager of small to mid sized properties

Inconvénients

none, I did not find anything that i would consider a flaw

It could be way better

There are some incompatibilities to the Brazilian market, which limited our possibilities to the Siteminder partners, but it is a selfserviced channel manager with a good structure and amazing support.

Avantages

The easy way of different types of settings for pricing, variations and additional rates.

Inconvénients

The limited options of restrictions and the need of creating the properties anywhere and then connect, it is not so practical at all.

Réponse de SiteMinder

Hi Caroline, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are happy to hear that you find it easy to set different pricing and rates with SiteMinder. However, we will take your feedback on limited options due to restrictions on our respective teams to look into.

Again, thank you so much for leaving us a review. we read every single response and appreciate your time!

Best regards,

Just plain terrible

We will be moving to something else as soon as we can. It's a disagrace from the company, their support and product teams

Avantages

Nothing, it used to be a great channel manager and i'm wondering when it went so wrong

Inconvénients

Siteminder used to be a top channel manager. Now we have 12 hotels on it and CONSTANT overbookings from every channel - their support is just terrible, each single instance they copy paste their response (basically blaming each single individual channel) and completely washing their hands of any fault. Channel maanger that can't manage channels and blames them - go figure. Also, they flat out refuse to provide ANY logs. Whether it's to do with connectivity, user changes etc. It's quite simply a disaster, what happened with this once great product. We will be changing as soon as we can

Alternatives envisagées 

Cloudbeds

Pourquoi choisir SiteMinder 

Old channel manager had big limitations on channel connectivity - many key channels werent there

Pourquoi passer à SiteMinder

it used to be a good product years ago and we didn't know that it changed

SiteMinder Proper is Good, GDS...not so much

SiteMinder proper is a positive experience.

Avantages

The flat fee makes it easy to budget and not have to analyze/verify/reconcile every month.

Inconvénients

The SiteMinder program works well. My praises for GDS by SiteMinder are less, as its major functionality flaw for me is that travel agent information does not load into my reservations, creating a nightmare to keep staff trained and abreast of how to work-around this major deficiency.

Réponse de SiteMinder

The best product with the worst service

It is amazing until there is an issue!

Avantages

User friendly channel manager that links to the main partners. Efficient and fast communication. Very good tool to keep parity across the channels. Refresh restriction and rates as fast as our direct website. Functionalities are great!

Inconvénients

Support service! The tool is great until there is an issue. Then it become a nightmare to have things done. Even the smallest request seems to difficult to execute.
Also, it would be amazing if Siteminder would be able to apply seasons to the rate plans.

Réponse de SiteMinder

Hi Ines,

First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We really appreciate your insightful feedback and always take your suggestions to heart. I'm sorry to hear that your experience with us didn't live up to our usual standards. Many of our 30,000 customers enjoy contacting us so to learn that this wasn't the case for you was disappointing.

I wanted to let you know that seasonal rate plans are a possibility for you listed under your "inventory" tab. Using the "bulk update" tool, you can apply a seasonal rate plan to a specific room according a predetermined date range of your choice. Once this is activated, the rate plan will automatically switch on/off according to the dates you have set.

Hopefully this helps you apply seasonal rate plans to The Set Hotels but please don't hesitate to reach out if you're still having trouble!

All the best,
Lauren

Do not waste your time (and money)

If you want a very basic system, easy to setup, and budget does not matter, you may be happy with Siteminder.
If you want value for your money, functionalities for your pms, customization for your booking engine, integrations for your pms, accounting system... and a reliable support ... look somewhere else.

Avantages

Easy to setup, functional, good channel manager.

Inconvénients

Lack of PMS functionalities: no way to handle groups, agents, segments. Little hotelier is more like a functioning beta, lacking most important options..
Lack of updates: no significant improvements (BE/CM) since we started in 2016. It's no surprise that their booking engine is behind their competitors at this point, it lacks customizations and functionalities
Bad support: do not expect much from them, clear miscommunications between their services. We have been clients since 2016 and the way they treat us...

Réponse de SiteMinder

Hi Simon,
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your insights and apologise for any frustrations you've encountered. We're actively working on enhancing our platform's features and support services based on user input.

Hotel Needs Customer Support

When my co-workers would panic, this software's customer service could talk them off the cliff, solving whatever problem they called with. They promptly answered and got to work solving the issue at hand, in a timely manner. No yelling. Very respectful, [sensitive content hidden], expertly handled the crisis and saved the clients vacation woes.

Avantages

That it has a number I can call anytime I need to.

Inconvénients

I don't think I ever found a reason to dislike this software.

Réponse de SiteMinder

Hi Darlene,

Absolutely terrible !
DO NOT use this platform

Avantages

Helpful getting you set up and taking your money. After that NOTHING..

Inconvénients

Everything, the customer service is terrible. They Will constantly pass you off and tell you it’s with the “relevant team “
The team never gets backs to. Messy unprofessional layouts.

Flaky product, never make any improvements, terrible customer service

I would never recommend this to anyone. The support is awful, they have little idea about the product. Honestly, it is easier to muck about with it yourself and find the solution on your own than call a useless support team who rarely know what they are doing. I don't think I've ever called and found them to be useful.

There is no one in charge, you cannot speak to anyone in authority to get anything done and they refuse point blank to deal with any suggestions, let alone complaints.

They do not give two hoots about their customers' experience. Every time the money comes out of my bank each month I feel sick. I literally hate paying them. I can't wait to find an alternative. Till then better the devil you know.

Avantages

The chanel manager works and makes it easy to manage mutiple selling platfroms.

Inconvénients

I have been using this for 2 years and in that time they have made not one single improvement to anything. I buy a suite of products. Little Hotelier (back office) Siteminder (Channel Manager) and The Booking Button (online reservation booking engine)

Little hotelier is a terrible product. I was guaranteed when I signed up that there would be a major update to this software, but there has been nothing. not one single thing to improve it. This platform looks and functions like it was built to run on windows 95. It is terrible.

The booking button lacks functionality. It works in part, but they never make any improvements. One major thing is that you cant translate promotions, so you are stuck with the one language that you use to set up the majority. You can translate most screens, but not promotions. I reported this issue in 2018 and was guaranteed that it would be looked into, but a year later and it is exactly the same.

The iPhone app is one of the worst apps I've ever used. I've tried to give feedback on it, but it falls on deaf ears. They literally do not care about their customers.

Réponse de SiteMinder

Hi Dave,

I run our customer success team here out of Sydney and was hoping to set up a call one of these evenings/your morning to understand your situation better.

By the way I just sent about 15-20 minutes going through your website, OTA setups, Google Places, social media channels, room descriptions / rates/ photos. You have an awesome pråçoperty and absolutely nailed how to use the products...very impressive.

Kindly let me know what morning this week works for you so I can better understand your needs and address them.

Thank you,
Mike

No overbookings

Avantages

When introduced to the software, the hassle of over bookings were eliminated. With it's seamless integration to the PMS, it automates availability of rooms and increases revenue by making the most expensive rooms available.

Inconvénients

I think commissions can be reduced to maximise profit.

Réponse de SiteMinder

Hi Iheanyi,

Thank you for leaving us a review. We are happy to learn that you are no longer experiencing overbookings and getting a seamless experience. We will take your feedback on commissions and share with our resepective team. If you need anything in near future, don't hesitate to contact any of us.

Very basic platform, stay away

have spent plenty of time on it to set all the channels up so I haven't been able to move elsewhere but will be looking up other systems soon. Need to see what works better in this big market, They never ask themselves WHY Siteminder?

Avantages

good software for a start off but then it stops there, updates they make are all useless
technical support is good and prompt on very small issues but helpless if you ask for more,
easy to use Channel Manager & BookingButton after the initial setup,
monthly price is same as many other providers but what you get is far from good

Inconvénients

- Cons
- Siteminder & BookingButton are basic but you pay top price for nothing
- the reservation templates that are sent over by email come in 2 pages long,
- need to spend 20 mins to get card details for every booking
-date picker widget is useless, just a square box with no options at all, customization not possible
-reservation dates (check in/out) are delivered not in UK format
-All OTA's can put a cut off time for same day bookings but Siteminder can't do it, you lock up at 10.30pm but at 11.59pm someone can still make a booking & turn up God knows about 3am
-developing team in Australia makes 1 update in 2 years & never gets the messages from the helpless Technical Support team in UK, even then you know 100% it'll be a negative reply.
- have been asking them for 5 years to add a simple *PROMOTIONS" tick-box to apply discounts to any day you want but they keep ignoring it, waste of time
-tech support team in UK gives you their own versions of solving issues instead of passing feedback to HQs and following up the problems
-they have a terrible Knowledge Base & expect you to pay professional web designers to integrate Booking & Availability widgets on website or keep with their ugly looking widgets,
- Guests can cancel a booking but not modify it, not possible
-keep sending them feedback for 5 years & they never cared to fix any of them, not good at all
-been very busy & haven't been able to switch to another company but will do it very soon

DO NOT USE FOR HOLIDAY LETS : COWBOYS WITH CONTRACTS

Sales person who tells you what you want to hear. This product doesnt work for holiday lets. And absolutely not as it states for 'Little' companies at all.

Constantly told

'I will refer that to product development' - which has no answer or time scale to the problem and apparently zero guarantee of it being changed.

4 weeks of effort, I decide to cancel (within my 30 day trial) buy another product (which took 24 hours to install and set up) then I get a bill for £600 and a development person contacts me so I can help him understand the issues, wanting explanations screen shots etc (I have already sent this ).

Avantages

The front desk is impressive if you had a small hotel. I was sold the product for a holiday let company, given a free trial and invoiced a full £600 because I made it live to test (the only way to test is to make it live).

Inconvénients

This software is for a fledgling company, I run another company that turns over £20mill, I am not a stranger to software.

The invoicing just doesn't work. The only option if you take a deposit is 'pay at property' . Also if you take payments yourself and not with their products - the invoice will not update the amounts correctly.

All invoices were wrong in amount and direction to the customer how to pay.

My communication emails to guests says 'Pay at property' - Support told me just write somewhere else on the email that they should ignore that and what they should really do.

Réponse de SiteMinder

Hi Leanne,

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We sincerely regret your experience and know our team has already been in touch with you to resolve your issues.

We apologise for the misunderstanding around your free period. The offer of a free period (not a trial period) was made to you for signing an annual contract. When you cancelled your subscription, you cancelled within your contract term and hence received a bill for set-up and cancellation fees, both of which we have refunded to you. Customers always have a choice to pay month to month. The offer was understandably more attractive for the annual contract. Nonetheless, we will do our utmost to ensure that all options are reinforced for every future customer.

Our product team researches new enhancements and prioritises the features that have the greatest impact for our customers. We have taken into consideration all your feedback about the invoices.

Thanks again for your valuable feedback.

Warmest,
Mei

Think twice before you get committed to using SiteMinder hotel software package

we lost money because of technical issues with the Little Hotelier product from SiteMinder we use. Siteminder refused to compensate

Avantages

The software we have consists of the front desk, channel manager, website, and booking engine.

Inconvénients

It is not the software, it is the company that you have problems with. The technical support is not available on weekends. If you have a catastrophic failure on the weekend you are doomed. It happened to us. I personally deal with support people a lot because of the number of problems we have. Only a few know the product and can help. Most of the support people answering calls are not qualified and know very little about the product and are useless.

Réponse de SiteMinder

Hi Nick,

I regret that you've found that support has not met your standards, in spite of your strong experience with our product.

Our support experts are actually available on weekends via live chat in your product. Technical escalation for critical incidents is something we treat seriously, and we have 24/7 escalation for this. I'm sorry if you experienced one and wasn't able to reach the right team, but our support lead is reaching out to you to ensure we understand what happened and avoid its recurrence.

Our support team is put through intense technical product training to ensure they are best able to help customers like you effectively. We've gone back to review your case and our response to that to ensure we pinpoint, in this case, where it went wrong. The quality of support offered to customers is our legacy and a paramount priority.

We appreciate your feedback, Nick. Our team is reaching out to ensure we fully address your concerns urgently.

Regards,
Mei

I love Siteminder

Very good. I will recommend this system to someone I know.

Avantages

Very easy to control the allotment/ rate.
Very easy for reservation management.

Inconvénients

Do your homework, check them out before commiting as to price and function

We entered on a 30 day free trial, then 6 months 1/2 price, 6 months full price. There is a sense as you go further down the track of total commitment and no escape as considerable time committed to set-up and link the channels. With an extensive background in both IT and major Hotel PMS systems, we found key reporting and functionality missing. When the full monthly cost hit, we viewed the product as unviable.
The Canvas website template is very poor and expensive.

Avantages

The calendar integration to multiple channels is essential by methods other than iCal. This one feature changes the picture for any operation with more than one channel. In the end, this was the only attractive feature.

Inconvénients

My personal experience was the product is not at all intuitive, in other words you had to ask lots of questions rather than figure it out for yourself. Support and personnel are unresponsive to client suggestions when problems or difficulties encountered. Simple questions often take days for response.
With 1-5 rooms, very expensive when you consider revenue versus accumulated expenses for this plus OTA commissions, payment discounts, housekeeping etc. No meaningful reports for revenue, Mobile app on Android was useless, had to use the browser version.

Ok unless you need Support

The Bookingbutton from Siteminder is the worst we have come accross. It is less than ok: The mobile embed widget doesn't display properly and we have been in touch with Siteminder but after a month of them knowing about the issue this has still not been resolved. You don't have a choice of Payment Gateways in Europe other than Paypal - which is terrible. Siteminder could be so much better if they improved their customer service. At the moment we would not recommend using them at all.

Avantages

Simple to use interface and most of the time very self-explanatory.

Inconvénients

Customer Support is the worst. Whenever you need help you will receive a standard E-Mail reply and issues will not be resolved in a timely manner.

Réponse de SiteMinder

Hi Philip,

Firstly, I am so sorry to hear about your outstanding issues with the mobile embedded widget and that you felt you have not received the highest level of support to resolve the issues promptly. This is certainly not the usual for our more than 35,000 happy customers.

We have escalated this to our management and customer success teams who have been in touch.

Good news regarding Payment Gateways-We've built a great new payment feature to give your property a quick and secure way to accept online payments from all major credit and debit cards. The new payment processing through SiteMinder Payments will be available at the start of September for all regions.

If there's anything else I can do, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Misha

Customer Support

Very good. I find Siteminder support exceptional. We have recently been updating our systems, rate plans, room types etc and the support desk have been invaluable. Responses are quick and any issues resolved quickly.

Avantages

Once experienced on the software it is very straightforward to use

Inconvénients

Possibly a reporting option see what updates have been sen t from PMS

Very bad and faulty system, terrible customer support

Being in the hotel industry, we operate 24/7, and when there is a need for customer support follow up, you would expect 24/7 or at least decently efficient follow-up.

During a period when our hotel was fully booked, we closed the allotments for the higher room types, while increasing the rates for our standard rooms, so that if a booking were to come in, we could easily afford to book the guest in a neighbouring hotel, most of which happen to be full or high occupancy as well.

Having set up the system, and input the values, one week before the period we are full, I had expected the system to have updated all our online agent sites. Lo and behold, we received a booking 5 days after I had input the new values. And at our normal standard rates at that.

Obviously this would be a problem for us. So I called up the agent to check if they had been linked up with Siteminder. They checked on their back-end, and it showed all up and running.

So I immediately called Siteminder to get them to check on their back-end, and informed them that the guest would be arriving in 2 days time, so I needed an answer before then.

The amazing part was to be told that I needed to wait 3 days for a reply. Despite knowing that the guest would be arriving in 2 days time. They just threw the problem back to me.

Up until the guest arrived, there was still no resolution from Siteminder.

For a company that is so closely linked to the hospitality industry, and who claims to be one of the best there is, this is abysmal performance. Why should I be paying them, when I end up having to solve problems created by them?

Avantages

It makes it easy for revenue managers to combine all OTAs into one platform, to manage rates and availability.

Inconvénients

Terrible response time, error in their software but they make the customer solve the problem for them and pay for the damages caused.

Réponse de SiteMinder

Hi Rank,

We are continuously looking at ways to improve our service for our valued customers - rest assured, your feedback is very helpful to us during that ongoing process. Thanks again for taking the time to share this with us.

DO NOT use this CMS if you're looking to improve SEO performance

Avantages

Adding basic content to the CMS is fairly straightforward but there is nothing this offers which cheaper competitors don't.

Inconvénients

There doesn't seem to ever be any updates made. As someone who works in digital marketing, making updates to the site to improve SEO performance is critical. However this CMS doesn't even allow the simplest of updates. It doesn't allow you to update page titles without the H1 header and main navigation title being updated. So just to be clear, updating page titles on their own is NOT POSSIBLE. This is 2017! We've been asking the question for over a year about when this will be updated and it's still not done! We still can't update page titles (some of the most important elements for SEO) and therefore are losing out on revenue because of this CMS. It also doesn't allow users to set up 301 redirects, which is simply laughable. Again, this is also impacting our performance. If it was solely my choice I'd have changed a long time ago. Avoid the canvas CMS at all cost if you're looking to improve SEO performance.

Réponse de SiteMinder

Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. Canvas is a tool that is designed for hoteliers looking to simplify their website management. We believe it's best for the page titles to reflect the web page contents and we place the hotel name there too, in accordance with SEO best practice. Many hoteliers don't have the knowledge to update this themselves and so the limitation in our design was deliberate. I have passed your comments onto the team who will consider adding in some flexibility for our more advanced users. The 301 redirects issue is being addressed on our current plans as we know this is important. If you have any further feedback for us, don't hesitate to contact [email protected]
Thanks again,
Clare @ SiteMinder

SiteMinder Review

We are quite satisfied with our experience with SiteMinder and would love to keep the software as our CMS.

Avantages

I like that it's very easy to use and the updates are always real-time.

Inconvénients

There are times when there will be technical errors and the system takes a longer period to reflect updates and changes.

Réponse de SiteMinder

However, we are sorry that you are experiencing technical errors. Would you be able to email me your details? So that I can help you to escalate the error that you are facing.

Good Service, Limited Options

Avantages

Allowed our property to connect to extranets that were not available on our main software.

Inconvénients

Functionality. Comparatively, SiteMinder lacked the ease of access and cannot be used as a "first time user". Requires time to get the hang of this program.

Réponse de SiteMinder

Hi Michael,

Thanks for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We really appreciate your comments and we're sorry to hear that your experience with us didn't live up to our usual standards.

We realise implementing a new software can be daunting, that's why we have dedicated global support and on-boarding teams that are focused on delivering top service to our more than 35,000 customers.

We are continuously looking for ways to improve our service, so thanks again for taking the time to share this with us.

Cheers,

The Technical department needs a few lessons in caring about customers

It is the only real serious booking engine available to local hoteliers and we would have a problem getting direct bookings if it was not available to us.

Avantages

The staff that answer the phone are lovely and try to be helpful when you phone and the on hold music we spend hours listening to is good

Inconvénients

Those that answer the support phone are lovely people and try their best to assist. However, they seem quite often not to fully understand what the product can and cannot do. And if your problem (one that is caused by a siteminder malfunction and one that can be losing your small business money)) ends up in the tech department - then watch out. They sit on the problem for a week and try finding out when it is going to be fixed. They are like elusive Gods who think they are answerable to no one, least of all the customers!

Réponse de SiteMinder

Hi Wendy,

Thank you for your feedback.

We are sorry to hear that you have had this experience. Your feedback has been passed onto our customer success team as well as management who will investigate the matter further.

Thanks again for taking the time to submit your feedback.

I have used siteminder for 9 years.

The software itself has never failed.

Avantages

The desktop version has always worked well. I changed to resonline a few years ago but found their software to be unreliable.

Inconvénients

The mobile version has a lot of problems. It is difficult to change any details once entered as in dates, number of people. It displays the lowest starting price rather than the cost you are about to pay, it then displays the cost on the next step in tiny font which is very misleading. When you select the payment details it glitches and the page can not be closed for finalize payment or go back.

Réponse de SiteMinder

Hi Maureen,

Thank you for your feedback, we are constantly trying to improve our product experience for our customers and this feedback is very valuable.

I have spoken with our product team for TheBookingButton and they have informed me that they are currently reviewing the design and user-flow and will be leveraging user feedback and user testing to validate and improve.

Again, thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback.

If you have any further questions please do let me know.

SiteMinder for Small Hotel

Avantages

SiteMinder is a very well engineered piece of software. As it has in-depth functionality and flexibility, all the options and interface get a bit of getting user to but once mastered are intuitive.

Inconvénients

Full-featured software so nothing missing for us. Integration with AirBnB is problematic and support still doesn't really have a handle on it.
