### "Superior CRM and booking/billing system"

November 4, 2020

5.0

We have have had staff working remotely for over two years now. It is extreemly easy to enlist a new user and get them up to speed quickly

Pros

When we switched to Maghub, the prime reason was its easy integration with quickbooks saving us hours of double entry every month. After using it for several months , we found all of the available features easier to use than our previous cloud based softaware

Cons

The addition of new editons is a tedious chore. We are a weekly publication, and like to have about a year and a half of issues ready to book into.

### "Maghub streamlined our production cycle"

August 10, 2020

5.0

We probably gained almost a week to our production cycle each month because of the backlog we once had to get all the communication to production from sales. Maghub allows all the sales team to manage and provide instructions and materials themselves eliminating the bottleneck we once had with the flow of info between sales and production.

Pros

The ability to have a shared workspace for the sales and production team to communicate on a ticket by ticket basis.

Cons

The learning curve was kinda steep. All the tools are there but it just took us a while to get everyone up to speed.

### "Maghub - a great program at a great value"

August 6, 2019

5.0

We moved from Microsoft Dynamics to MagHub in less than 30 days. At the end of 30 days the staff was able to enter orders and production had the reports they needed. We did not have to change any of our processes because Maghub was easily configurable to what we were used to doing.

Pros

Ease of customization and implementation. MagHub updates the product each month, fixing reported bugs and introducing new features.

Cons

At the time we converted, the reporting on digital revenue was slightly inadequate. With the regular MagHub updates the product now has multiple options available for revenue recognition and viewing.

### "User For Invoicing and Reporting"

December 17, 2020

4.0

Pros

As the primary user of invoicing and aged reporting, the options were very adaptable even through upgrades to the software.

Cons

A standard manual would be most helpful, and as software procedures change a user would benefit by receiving a new course of action inserts thereby having the most up to date procedure manual. Also extend weekday hours to include evening online support.

Thank you for your review of MagHub. You can actually download a .PDF of our Help Center to use as a manual (it's quite large; however, it's possible). Regarding Live Chat hours, we have shared your request with our support team. With our entire support team being located in the Eastern/Central timezones, we certainly see the opportunity to expand upon it.

### "Mag Hub review"

March 25, 2021

5.0

Pros

The transition was easy. It is easy to use. You can customize to fit your needs.

Cons

Some accounting features for billing and payments. I can not group all the on line issues in group allowing me to invoice all at once. I have to write off wire fees as a bad debit should be an option wire fees.

November 15, 2022

5.0

Helps me keep my activities scheduled and timely.

Pros

I like that Maghub includes all aspects of account management - artwork, invoices, contracts, activities, type of business attributes and more.

Cons

Would prefer to be able to group accounts by location as well as type of business.

### "A Positive CRM System"

November 10, 2020

3.0

My overall experience with Maghub is positive. I do not mind navigating through the platform and think there are many helpful features for a successful sales process.

Pros

I like most about maghub how easy it is to navigate client accounts.

Cons

The formatting limits within insertion orders, templates.

December 21, 2021

5.0

Ad proofing, signing contracts and billing have never been easier.

Pros

Mag Hub has all of the benefits of Magazine Manager, Sales Force, and FileMaker Pro in one easy to use software.

Cons

I don't really have criticisms with the software, but no one likes paperwork or data entry.

### "MagHub"

January 24, 2020

4.0

While we have our struggles with how things are set up and running with the system, the team at MagHub is actively working to make changes and listen to feedback from our team on what's needed.

Pros

The potential for our entire team, from sales to production through to billing, can work in one system and have access to real-time information.

Cons

Not all aspects of the system are user friendly and ready to go for all of our team.

Hi there, Thank you for your review of MagHub. As you mentioned in the Pros section, MagHub has been built to integrate all departments into one system, preventing double-entry and additional software costs, while improving overall usability for the entire team. We appreciate your comment that our team has been actively making changes in the system for our client's needs, and we have more to go. We hope over the next few releases you see our user-experience increase; however, as always we're always a Live Chat, Feature Request, or Support Ticket away.

### "Pros and Cons of MagHub"

October 18, 2018

4.0

Overall I like MagHub and a lot of our challenges with the system are due to our own internal struggles. Things like MagBuilder and Commissions are just not able to be adopted yet. Wish we could leverage the Ticket workflow system to be more refined in views for large clients. Works great for a smaller client but having that ability to ramp up for a large multi tier corporation is lacking making wishful elements unusable.

Pros

I like how MagHub has been designed to be a beginning to end software solution for B2B companies. It allows you to integrate all divisions of your company into one solution vs. many.

Cons

Sometimes the permissions and amount of options is too much and not as refined as it should be. Don't offer something that can only perform at 50% or less. If it can't work at that level it isn't refined enough to be offered to a business. Those elements should be taken out of the mix to avoid confusion.

Thank you for your review Jonathan. We strive in being the one tool any publisher needs, and thus results in a lot of extra tools. Our push for 2018/2019 is to refine these tools across the board. First up, Orders!

### "Transparency"

June 23, 2020

4.0

Refreshing.

Pros

The MagHub team delivers on promise or they don't make the promise. Its rare to have a software vendor which clearly communicates its capability, the cost tied to such functions and features, then delivers on it without fail. And their customer support is available and responsive.

Cons

I would like to explore an integration with MapYourShow's expo module as I understand there have been previous work around such an integration.

June 19, 2020

Pros

Customize able to our company, integrated with our business model and other software easily, user friendly

Cons

It’s a little quirky, but once you get to know the program, the quirks become very familiar

### "MagHub Usr Review "

November 11, 2020

4.0

Over-all my experience is quite good.

Pros

Intuitive and easy to use, Well organized and structured. Good Customer Service

Cons

Some functions don't translate throughout For example changing contact status does not carry through to the Production Report which means manual adjustment each time. Marketing tools need work. If i write a bulk email but someone else send, i do not get full metrics or it does not list as an activity on each email address. Drip emails seem to report on the firs one only. Metrics are lacking a bit

### "Maghub is a great tool for us. We are still not using it to its full capacity. It has been our fault"

March 16, 2018

4.0

It's a great Contact Management Tool. Our sales team loves it. WE do all of our tracking and sales functions. Our next step is layout and accounting.

Pros

The CRM is a great sales tool for us. We are looking forward to implementing the rest of the tools. The online HELP is so great and easy to use.

Cons

It's not intuitive. You have to figure out what Maghub's terminology for things is. There are too many choices. I prefer software that says "Click this for.." or instructions that are clearly defined.

### "designer perspective."

December 13, 2020

5.0

I love it! Very organized and keeps it all structured. Thank you!

Pros

how I can make reports and save them. The shortcut link for them really saves me time. how everything is right there.

Cons

I wish the entire line of the report would be colored... not just the section of the status. I tend to look left to right visually and when I look at company name I would like to see the color of the status over there as well.... not just having to glance over and see what the color may be.

Pros

Pros

Ease of use. After many years of using clunky CRMs, having something that gets the info you need quickly and without a huge lift is extremely helpful.

June 23, 2020

4.0

They asked for suggestions from us and they made several changes based on these suggests. Support seems to be open-minded to new ideas and are willing to work with their customers to produce a quality product.

Pros

I only used the mapping portion regularly for magazine production and periodically will look up companies and contacts in the database. I like the mapping because all the ads to place automatically show up in the system so you can't forget to place an ad. I also like that two people can have the map open simultaneously. The color coding is also helpful, and you can move pages by clicking and dragging. Adding spreads is also easy.

Cons

Adding editorial to the map is tricky. I thought it would save my additions/changes--sometimes it would and other times it would not. The ability for the production person to add notes to the map would be a nice feature to add.

April 5, 2019

5.0

Our overall experience is we love it! The fact that it is designed specifically for magazines really helped us with work flows. Thank you MagHub!

Pros

We love the automated reminders for the clients and the staff. Our communications are more precise cause we can send messages about clients directly to a user from the client file. The automated installment invoices helped us greatly with our cash flow as human interaction is not required on payment plans anymore.

Cons

The templates of our documents is limited and not very flexible. The system is American and we are Canadians. Some of Canadian requirements are not met like language settings (we have clients that need their documents in French) and provincial & federal taxes boxes.
