WellnessLiving vs TeamUp: Which is a better fit?

Eric J.: My name is Eric. I'm the managing director and office manager for Body Basics Wellness Center in Reisterstown, Maryland. Our company is about one to 10 employees, and I would rate WellnessLiving a five. We currently use WellnessLiving as our CRM, which is our customer relationship database. It basically holds all of our customers. We book appointments, schedule appointments. We do all of our transactions through the application. We also are able to produce reports, track sales. We do marketing from it. Another of other features that we use internally, we're able to communicate with clients through email, through text message pretty seamlessly. We also use it to do marketing campaigns through social media as well as through email outlet. What else we use it for? We also use it for our reviews. Customer reviews are done in WellnessLiving similar to what they would do in a Google Review. So, we use all of those things on a day-to-day basis. The thing I like most about WellnessLiving is it's very user-friendly. It was easy to interface with it or integrate it into our current network. Not a lot of ramp-up time to get it really going in initial setup and implementation of it. The staff was very friendly, very patient, but also worked to expedite the process of getting us up to speed, so we could launch quicker than our anticipated date. I also liked the layout of the application. The functionality is very easy to learn. It's not cumbersome. The navigation around the site is pretty fluent. It's very flexible and it was easy for us to train our staff and for us to really learn it in a very quick time. The thing I dislike, or it's a little frustrating, is when you have some issues, maybe functionality or something else going on, there is a little difficulty getting a response quicker than you would like. So I know they're working on that, but that turnaround time can be a little bit frustrating, just waiting to hear back from the staff or the management there. So, that's been the most challenging thing. Again, I know they're working on it. They use a community form for you to put new issues and bring up current issues to see if other people have brought those issues forward, and you can look in that form to see if there's answers for your issues, but that's probably one of the most difficult things is reaching out to them and then taking a while for them... I say a while, but at least twenty-four, about forty-eight to seventy-two hours sometime, before you hear something back from them.

Kayla: I'm Kayla. I'm a communication and speech coach. I'm a solopreneur and I give TeamUp a 4 out of 5. Before using TeamUp, I was using Google Calendar to have my meetings with international clients, and it became a bit of a hassle because it was very hard to share openly what those calendars were with my clients. So I ended up making the switch to TeamUp. When I had collaborated with some other companies in the e-learning space and in the coaching spaces, all of them were also using TeamUp, so it was the first option that I considered. And I saw that it was really easy for them to host group sessions as well as small group meetings with people from all over the world. And there were never any confusions with time zones and time differences, which is a really relevant thing for me in my business. TeamUp was very easy to integrate into my business. It's very self-explanatory. As soon as you sign up, you can easily see where to add on new calendars, create new events, and how to share them with people. So even if you're not a very tech-savvy person, it's very easy to set up, which is a big benefit for me as a solopreneur. Double check and make sure that all of the integrations that you have with Google Calendar or maybe other calendars that you use in your business, make sure that your integrations are all set up appropriately before openly sharing your calendar for your business, just so that you don't have any glitches and that everything is really clean as you step into using TeamUp as your primary calendar.
