Pros

Very user-friendly. I only recall needing tech support two times in 12 years, and they were on it immediately

Cons

I have no issues. There's nothing that I do not like. It works well and consistently.

### "We've Been using Gopher for 14 years and still happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

September 22, 2016

5.0

We started our agency 14 years ago and needed a good database for our needs. We did the trial with many different products and Blackdog/Gopher won and we have been happy ever since. I can not say one bad thing about this product. Its easy to learn and use, keeps track of everything from the initial phone call to the placement. I would recommend this product to any recruiter. Best of all, the people at Blackdog are so nice and on top of any issue you may have. Thumbs way up!!!!!!!!!!!!

### "solid basic local software"

September 22, 2016

2.0

1 person practice. I like how the software is local. I use office 365 and almost every time there are updates, I have to call the support. I am on the support plan and they are super helpful. You can search the resumes for anything that you can think of. I am not changing.

Pros

Local not web based.

Cons

when MS has updates. The software sometimes needs to be changed.

### "Fantastic Customer Support"

September 27, 2016

4.0

Biggest problem I have is lack of customization. It has to be customized by Blackdog. My gopher seems to crash on the days I am busy running reports or researching, going back and forth constantly between windows. The Customer Support is awesome and response is timely. They can talk on my level. The Software has all the features we commonly use.

### "Complex UI but solid program"

September 27, 2016

4.0

I use Gopher all day every day. It almost never crashes or lags, but some of the user interface commands are counter-intuitive and difficult to understand at first. Overall though it does the job quite well, once you get used to the controls.
