### "Gets the job done"

March 30, 2020

5.0

It is very positive. We checkout hundreds of pieces of equipment daily and it accounts for all of our students, faculty and staff with varying processes.

Pros

It is simplistic, not overly complex while still done. We have some fair sophisticated workflows and it accommodates them.

Cons

Having several storefronts, I wish we could better move equipment we checkout from one to another, quickly.

### "WebCheckout from a daily user"

April 13, 2020

5.0

Overall our experience with WebCheckout has been a positive one. As mentioned, the automated logs that are created throughout each allocation have proved to be a vital way of tracking equipment, as well as illustrating proof in various instances with our students.

Pros

I find WebCheckout to be an invaluable asset to our facilities for many reasons. Some of the most valuable uses for us are traceability of our equipment, automated communication between our Checkout Center and students, the information that is provided in regards to communication history, late fees, renter history, equipment information, inventory, usage logs, etc. This system has dramatically sped up our workflow, saved money on loses and late equipment, as well as provided us a very consistent workflow throughout our daily processes.

Cons

I feel there are usability aspects that are missing. Some of the processes that take place are achieved in more of a roundabout way, requiring 5 to 8 clicks instead of 2-3, which at high traffic times slows down the checkout process and overall customer service. I do feel that WebCheckout is extremely good at listening to their clients however and as a result updates are steadily happening.

### "The team is great. The product deserves a UI/UX overhaul."

April 10, 2020

3.0

WCO is the tool I use to manage circulation in an equipment reservation center. I find WCO team members very responsive and helpful but the product routinely frustrating.

Pros

I like the fact that Patron Portal exists, although its interface deserves to be studied and elaborated.

Cons

There are SO many things in the interface that are clunky and difficult to teach students how to navigate. We need more places to make notes on a reservation. Managing policy is super confusing. I would like the ability to generate custom reports. I have to MacGyver origin in a way that could stop working at any time in order to set different circulation limits on different patron classes, rather than setting it at the group level, which would be very simple.

Reason for choosing WebCheckout

I didn't. It was chosen before I got here.

Hi Paul- Thanks for your time and feedback, and thank you for participating in our Town Hall. We hope you find the improvements to Patron Portal easier to navigate, and if you are not already familiar with custom properties, please know you can add your own fields to reservations and even make them required in Patron Portal in order for Patrons to submit their reservation. As we continue to improve and add to the myriad of already existing features, we understand this can make training an every changing staff difficult to manage. We do update our online documentation; will continue to host webinars; and offer training services to take the burden of training off of the administrative team. We do value your feedback, and we look forward to you working directly with our lead developer to improve circulation policies. Thanks again for your time. We hope you're well.

### "WebCheckout Helps Us Run A Better Checkout Center"

March 27, 2020

5.0

Overall, I've had a great experience with WebCheckout. WebCheckout has really responsive and great customer support. Our back end team has always been able to relatively quickly setup integrations and make upgrades.

Pros

We are able to keep good inventory of almost 10,000 items, kits and even spaces. With integrations we have all of our patrons there and can quickly checkout equipment to them. The software also allows us to get good data about our most used items, what departments are using them and more. I know how difficult it is to keep track of things in just a spreadsheet or a calendar and am grateful for the many features of WebCheckout.

Cons

We have many student workers using this software, so having it be simple is important. For the most part students can quickly learn how to do a checkout and get going, but there are some hiccups that take a lot of communication from management. One example is when creating a checkout you have to hit commit and then the page changes and you need to confirm - it isn't confirmed until the green banner shows, but the confusing part is how the page changes and you need to sometimes scroll to see the confirm button, but there also aren't usually any warning signs that you didn't confirm. This is partly a training issue, but ultimately there could be something in the design that helps.

### "Great product for higher education equipment loaning"

June 23, 2020

5.0

I used WCO for nearly 10 years. The company was very responsive to their clients' inputs and regularly updated the software to reflect those requested tweaks. The program was great to work with but offered a lot of details that weren't necessary for us. And it was a little pricey and we needed to consolidate expenses. Two other departments were using another software and we transferred to that system. For 10 years, the WCO never crashed and we never lost any data. WebCheckOut worked very well for us!

Pros

WCO is easy to use and intuitive. It has a lot of features to keep track of loans, reservations and details of your equipment and locations. There are multiple offerings to customize what you need, including invoices, emailing, SSO, ticket (repair) tracking and even a personnel scheduling feature. Running reports are very customizable and easy to do and cover a range of information (turn downs, overdue, usage, etc...). Adding and updating equipment was fairly easy to do.

Cons

We don't use the system anymore but we had several add on modules that we paid for. I don't remember exactly what was an added module and what features came with the basic software but we bought several modules over the years that made the system a bit pricey. I downloaded my patrons list manually because it was more money to have it work automatically with our system. Not a big deal since we only have about 3k clients but it was an added step. For us, there were a lot of extra fields that could not be removed. A more customizable view would have been nice. Any new software releases that came out were difficult for me to implement due to our firewall and having to work out access for the WCO support team (but I own most of that issue).

### "Art and Design School Experience with WCO"

April 1, 2020

5.0

This software has become essential to our checkout centers that manage large quantities of equipment. It is hard to imagine operations without it. We are bringing on more centers with unique needs and the software is proving to be agile and flexible enough to accommodate the needs.

Pros

Very detailed tracking of our extensive inventory of equipment. Powerful import and export features. Integration with our Active Directory and student/faculty status. Modular nature of add ons allowing us to select/pay for the enhanced features we really need. Great technical support, very personal and quick response. Updates and feature updates are in direct response to user feedback.

Cons

The GUI has some issues, it has been improved over the years and there has been more of a focus on it recently. We still wish some alerts were more obvious to our students workers. Reporting is somewhat limited, all data can be exported to manipulate elsewhere but more robust in Ap reports would be nice. It is very powerful and this leads to very busy screens-this can be intimidating to new users.

Reason for choosing WebCheckout

Our campus used a collection of other software to manage inventories and data, Excel, FileMaker Pro, and custom databases where replaced by WCO.

### "The "Cadillac" of Checkout Software"

April 2, 2020

5.0

Webcheckout allows me to keep track of the investment that our college has made in providing quality technology to Faculty, Staff, and Students for the purpose of fulfilling their class assignments, pursuing their interests, and preventing them from having to invest in expensive equipment. I can collect accurate and quick statistics --- it makes me job easier.

Pros

This software is super well thought-out. It covers all the basics of what you would want checkout software to do... but they are constantly seeking out and listening to customer's for recommendations on new featuers.

Cons

I wish that more of the important features were included in the base software. We've ended up buying a lot of modules -- some which should definitely be an extra add-on and others that I think should have been standard with it.

Reason for choosing WebCheckout

When looking at all the products out there... it was clear from the beginning that WebCheckOut was the only product for the job!

### "A great tool for anyone who needs to manage asset checkouts, room reservations, and inventory"

April 1, 2020

5.0

My experience with the solution has been very positive. I would gladly recommend it to anyone with similar needs and be confident they are getting a solid, professional product with strong customer service.

Pros

Once you get past the initial learning curve, the software is very fast and easy to use. It offers a simple, intuitive web browser based interface for clients to reserve equipment and monitor the status of their checkouts. On the admin side there are powerful tools for authorizing which clients can see and access what items or rooms. Their customer support is fantastic and they really listen to and implement feature suggestions.

Cons

On the admin side, it does have a significant learning curve as there are many ways to customize it. However, their support is always ready to help. You will want to give yourself a few months to get up to speed on it and consider getting some training.

### "Despite challenges and weak support, we have not found a better product (yet)."

April 7, 2020

3.0

Despite crashes and support that could use drastic improvement, we have not been able to find a better product for our needs - and we have definitely looked.

Pros

Very modular, easily adaptable. Granular control of resources and patrons. Easy to use. Patron Portal is getting better with each release.

Cons

Support has long been an issue. Live support only available 9-5 central time. It take an average of 30-45 minutes to get a response from support, that amount of downtime is not acceptable if the system crashes, which it does too often for our liking. I personally prefer they way the "Groups" worked prior to version 7.

### "Webcheckout Success"

April 1, 2020

5.0

Results have been excellent. It has made the operation function smoothly.

Pros

This software has facilitated inventory maintenance of multiple pieces of audio and video equipment which is checked out in a library fashion to students at the university. I allows them to reserve in advance which facilitates the checkout as their needs can be prepared in advance with a check list of the order. Other units on the campus are also using the software for similar needs. The Software is adaptable to a number of functions.

Cons

We have not had any problems with the software, customer support has been excellent and we have been able to use for a variety of functions across the campus.

Reason for choosing WebCheckout

See above. Previously we did not have the functions or the support.

### "6 years of WebCheckout"

April 1, 2020

4.0

The people on the support side of this app are some of the best I've ever seen. They are always quick, honest and timely.

Pros

The improvements made year over year to the UI and squashing bugs quickly have helped a lot. The new Maintenance and Calibration module should be a major time saver for us.

Cons

The supported browser list for Windows 10 is not a list but a single browser. Support for Firefox or Chrome on Windows 10 would be awesome.

Reason for choosing WebCheckout

Because excel sheets don't count as a workable database for tracking equipment.

Hi Greg- Thanks for your time and kind words, and addressing our oversight on supported browsers. For that latest version of WebCheckout (v9), we recommend Microsoft Edge 44, Firefox 74, or Chrome 80 for Windows 10. While other browsers and versions on Microsoft 10 should support WebCheckout v9, these mentioned above were the specific browsers tested by our team.

Very happy with WebCheckout the staff is real easy to work with from when we purchased this years ago to your support staff.

Pros

I went from a Paper based tracking system for all my A/V equipment and this gives me a more efficient way to keep track of my things.

Cons

We work outside of "Standard Business Hours" frequently and my staff occasionally have to get me to override reservations. Having to remember to update the Hours of Operations each year or two can be annoying but not bad.

April 1, 2020

We have resolved the locating of our equipment thanks to wencheckout. Its at our finger tips whenever we need it.

Pros

I love the ease of webcheckout. I have worked with it for over 7 years and I have always found it easy and understandable to use.

Cons

I think the feature that could be improved is the uploading of various items at one time. I don't use the feature often since I find it kind of difficult.

### "Resource Circulation and Management with Great Customization"

April 7, 2020

4.0

WCO is a tool like no other for managing thousands of items worth millions of dollars for hundreds of users. It is designed - and has evolved over the years - with a focus on doing this very well. Scheduling, circulating and maintaining gear and facilities happens so smoothly because of WCO.

Pros

WebCheckout (WCO) is the only software (Made In the USA, at least) that I am aware of capable of managing, scheduling, circulating and inventorying resources - both physical "gear" and facilities "rooms" - so well. The information that can be cataloged for each individual item is tremendous in tracking everything from purchase history to usage as well as maintenance and repair. The items are also classified by type so that there is readily available data regarding how many are on hand, how many are in use and so forth. Scheduling within the software ensures that it all is being utilized...but without conflict; a "Patron Portal" option even allows end users to schedule on their own - based on permission authorizations set by the operator(s). There is also a basic inventory feature (with enhanced capability available as an option) as well as maintenance ticketing and even staff scheduling - all within the one program. Finally, there is extensive messaging available for the end users to be informed of reservations, pick ups and returns in addition to reminders for those events...once again, all customizable by operators. One additional note: significant updates to the software, at a rate of several a year, are almost entirely driven by end user requests for features and capabilities. Using WCO for the past 4 - 5 years, I have seen it continually evolve to be even better and better at serving both the institutions using it and their end users.

Cons

This is not a Google, Apple or Microsoft product...it was created and is managed by a relatively small team in the Midwest. This means that there are occasional bugs or other issues that arise not found with most other software programs. At the same time, because it is a smaller company, service is fast and personal; more often than not, the person I am working with on issues knows me and my school and they are always committed to solving issues AND making improvements. What is missing or lacking is often addressed with regular software updates.

### "Webcheckout review"

March 27, 2020

4.0

Having said all of these pros and cons, I will say that webcheckout really listens to their customers. They provide excellent and quick customer service, they are always offering new training opportunities, and they have created a community where people can provide feedback and they will listen and try to implement changes if possible. So even though there are unfortunate parts to this product, I have confidence they will be addressed in the future.

Pros

I have been using webcheckout for our university for the 5 years. We have a very robust equipment checkout program for our campus and webcheckout helps us manage over 1,000 pieces of equipment for around 12,000 students/faculty, and staff. There are some things that webcheckout does really well. I love that it syncs with Active Directory and the reporting they do is also very nice. They just recently opened a patron portal, and the advances they have made there are really nice and are allowing us to make some advances in shift left for our services. The organization is very good and keeping track of fines and late equipment is very easy.

Cons

There are a few things that I would consider minor annoyances for webcheckout. We would really like to find a way for patrons to renew equipment themselves, but this still does not exist and adds a lot of unnecessary man power for a pretty simple task. Also there is no embedded signature system, so if you want students to sign for a checkout you have to pull up a separate program, then upload that file back into webcheckout, and then manually update a signature on file date to let the software know something was uploaded. That is just too manual.

### "Helpful but Not User Friendly"

March 27, 2020

3.0

Pros

I like that it helps us keep track of our events and checkouts so that we don't lose equipment. Overall, it offers a lot of flexibility especially with being able to write notes on reservations, checkouts, and equipment.

Cons

I wish the dashboard would stick without having to reset it up daily with my preferences. I also wish the dashboard view was more integrated into the main checkout page instead of its own page. I wish this system was more user friendly or they offered tutorial videos. I have a large rotating staff of student workers that I have to train and retrain on the various aspects of Webcheckout. I have had to create my own documentation on how to use it and still come across issues where things don't go right if a student worker misses a step. The system is not intuitive at all and needs to be taught and learned. There needs to be a way to delete equipment for good. I would also like an easy way to track our events vs. just our regular checkouts or scheduled tasks so I could pull reports on it. The set, strike, show isn't cutting it for us.

Reason for choosing WebCheckout

the cost, what the systems offered, and mostly the ease of getting our systems integrated with Webcheckout is what I was told were the reasons Webcheckout was chosen.

Hi Rifah, thanks for your time and feedback. We're pleased to know that WebCheckout aids in keeping track of your equipment. The Dashboard now persists, so once you set it up, the information is readily available for the next time you login. This improvement was made after your request in our 2019 User Training. We also provided SXU with the Task Module to better track event details, a part from regular checkout/reservation information. As we continue to improve and add to WebCheckout's countless features, we understand this can make training an every changing staff difficult to manage. We do update our online documentation, and will continue to host webinars to highlight new features of each release. Additionally, we do offer training services to take the burden of training off of the administrative team. If we can provide any assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to your account manager. We hope you're well. Jeannie C Customer Care Team

### "WebCheckout is a solid solution"

March 31, 2020

5.0

Our overall experience with web checkout has been wonderful and continues to grow with every progressive upgrade.

Pros

Love the integration and tech support for this software.

Cons

We wish there was a better calendaring system that would show the real-time check-in and check-out appointments by the tech and client

Reason for choosing WebCheckout

When our IT Department decided they could no longer support our equipment check in/out database, we went on a mission to find a replacement database. WebCheckout was the solution that best fits our needs. Integration into our student enrollment system was key and has saved us not just in time and money, but troubleshooting technology for our student support has improved greatly. This is a Student Facing program that works best for us.

### "Industry Standard, (but...)"

March 27, 2020

5.0

I have worked with Webcheckout for over 10 years. It has been the industry standard the whole time, and meets the need for most users. As an admin it takes a "programmer's head" to get used to, but that's just part of the territory. It's so powerful and can do so much, that it's going to be complex, and they do their best to keep it as simple as possible. Phone support is extremely responsive and capable.

Pros

The software does it all...especially now after well over a decade of upgrades and user feedback. The customer service is the best,

Cons

The software in places seems to have no input from designers. New users should expect good amount of training and "getting used to it" through practice. Things like calendar input can seem clunky, and not the same across the board. A streamlined mobile app interface would be nice (maybe it's extra money), and bar-code scanning isn't mac friendly.

### "WebCheckout in Media Education"

April 1, 2020

4.0

Our old loan inventory system was being decommissioned, so we had to find something new. Web Checkout filled all our needs and more. It has been an incredible improvement over our previous workflows.

Pros

Web Checkout is highly customizable, easy to use, entirely web based, and integrates with our existing Active Directory, Student Information System, user ID cards, and equipment barcodes. The best functions are the automated email reminders and flexible permission rules.

Cons

Initial setup of the integration was a bit tedious, but once it was setup it makes daily processes a breeze.

### "WebCheckout saves you time and money!"

March 30, 2020

5.0

We moved to WebCheckout after using a paper-based rental solution for over 40 years. Our inventory count has become accurate. We're now able to run monthly, weekly, or even daily usage reports without having to manually count paper slips.

Pros

WebCheckout provides the ability to track every piece of gear in our inventory. We can monitor the usage of our production suites as well. Being able to run real-time usage reports helps to put budget towards higher used areas and gear. Dashboard screens allow workers to pre-pick pending orders and prepare for the return of large rentals.

Cons

We have no complaints with this software.

Reason for choosing WebCheckout

WebCheckout was the only solution we found that could integrate with our Microsoft ActiveDirectory Single-Sign-On and handle our large number of users.
