I have been using POSIM for 20+ years. I thought when we switched to their current version EVO, that is was very buggy, but for some years they seemed to have been developing updates and fixing issues and things were pretty smooth. In the last few years though, their customer support has disappeared and they don't seem to be upgrading anything.

Pros

POSIM has some powerful advanced features. But I would say for Mac OS version it is overall kind of clunky. They never built a top dropdown menu bar (which their legacy version had), and their collapsable side menu makes it very click heavy to open menu items/new windows. They do not seem to be fixing any of the issues that need addressing with the software, particularly the Shopify Linker web API, and have left us wondering if they might be more interested in their payment processing side of the business. (Which they will tell you is another company, but it's really not, btw. And it's the only payment processor their software supports, obviously.)But the reason I am writing this review is to let anyone shopping around know that their customer service has become basically non-existent. They will not answer phone or emails for days or weeks at a time on multiple attempts, and if you do actually get ahold of someone, getting follow through on anything is just about impossible, unless your store is just straight up broken, then they seem to take you seriously.If I could rewind I would have moved POS systems when they cut integration support for web platforms to Shopify only. Do not recommend.

Cons

Lack of support and lack of development.

It’s an amazing tool to aid with at restaurants. It gives you time to connect with your guests more and better.

Pros

I’m a very new user to it. I like how it gives the ease of putting your guests food right there at the table. They can also pay at the table with a card as well. I’m not fighting over a computer to ring food in.

Cons

I’m fairly new to it so I’m still working out how to use it. Nothing really bad I have to say about it.

Have used many versions of this software for 25 years. We have done extensive research on competitors and they all have parts and features missing.

Pros

Full integration of all data that can be accessed for reports. Ability to connect locations via the cloud. Encompasses everything from purchasing to sale and integrates all functions to a single database.

Cons

There are always enhancements we are requesting. Enhancements not taken seriously by dev team. It is pricey.

Reasons for choosing POSIM

It has the most features and the best data integration.

I like it for the most part. Billing department is problematic. They ask for a credit card application which has a space on it to allow for the card to be used continuously. Then the billing department continues to send bills and you call them and they want a new form. That form also asks if you want your card kept on file. Very bad system for billing.

Pros

The inventory control system is excellent. Speaking with staff is almost always very helpful.

Cons

The multi store Cloud reporting system is a mess. It's not intuitive. It is not based on an terminology used in POSIM itself. It makes searching for information very difficult if not impossible. One Star.

Support is great and product is powerful but when it comes to multi-site the company does not seem committed to making a functional product.

Pros

The software is versatile and customizes easily for reports and data in a single location format. However, when in use for multiple sites the software does not provide adequate information in a usable format.

Cons

I am having to use TeamViewer in order to do work at multiple locations. This is not conducive to creating an efficient product management environment. In addition, reports for multiple locations are not functional on any real-time level. Cloud reporting is so slow you might as well have staff at various locations do counts of sales and inventory and fax them to our main office.

Reasons for choosing POSIM

The version of POSIM multisite that was available at the time was robust.

We purchased the business 10 years ago, with this program up and running. It has been relatively easy to train new hires and the preset reports are very handy.

Pros

Support is top notch and the program is adaptable to a variety of business setups. We are a hardware/general merchandise store that has used POSIM for over 20 years. This keeps track of our variety of inventory, regardless of the manner in which we sell it, ie. per foot, per each, or even a bundle of items. We rely upon the AR portion as we offer in-house accounts, so the reports are very important to us.

Cons

Glitches! But, who doesn't? :) Until a program is heavily used, the bugs and glitches don't appear, until the most inconvenient time. Here's where the support staff really comes into play. It would be nice if you could "park in the background" the portions of the program that aren't in daily use.

All in all, I am pretty happy with POSIM Evo and try to submit improvement ideas and report bugs. I think like many companies, Posim doesn't seem like it spends enough time communicating and working with customers on a grass roots level. It feels like there is more of a gap there then should be.

Pros

I have been watching this product since its original versions were created. I always used Apple Computers in my operations and business and wanted to stick with that Hardware. As our retail division grew, we needed a POS system that would run on Apple Computers. The Original version of the core software was no longer supported and I didn't what to tie my business to something outdated and poorly supported. I waited years to see what was going to be the outcome of your software. I was excited when I heard that it was bought by younger, more dynamic owners and that they were working on a major rewrite of the whole system in Java and MYSQL. When this new version EVO was available, I pulled the trigger and purchased POSIM EVO.

Cons

7 or 8 years ago it was new and had a lot of bugs. The core features where there from the original POS version, so it was a functional POS, but there was a lot of improvements and fixes that needed to take place to make it a stellar POS System. Most of that has been done over the years, though it took way too long to get a lot of things fixed and running smoothly. It was often like owning a Beta Version at a Alpha price.

Frustrating

Pros

I'm not sure. It has been a very frustrating product.

Cons

I am frustrated that I can NOT back date to do a billing cycle or to make necessary adjustments to this program. I will miss my niece's wedding on August 31 of this year as I HAVE to stay home to do my billing ON the 31st! While I understand your need to control everything about this program, it is very frustrating that my business is open 7 days a week from 7am to 7pm and support is not always available if I get a code that I have to call for. It is too bad we cannot do some things without getting a code to call support. I really would like the opportunity to back date at times so I do NOT miss family events or even the need to be somewhere else on the end of the month, without having to get my billing done BEFORE midnight or it will print the wrong date and close the period wrong.
