Current RMS Reviews
Pros
Overall we are very happy with current-rms and the few cons are vastly outweighed by the pros of the system. It's a good fit for our company and it's been a pleasure to use for these past ~5 years.
A really good solution with an excellent price compared to many software options. Very easy to use and simple to expand and contract as needed.
Ability to hand on heart recommend it to other people/companies. Overall a great product in fairly early stages of life and is improved upon regularly.
We absolutely love the quick turnaround time for questions and the helpful, friendly responses from their incredibly knowledgeable staff members.
Cons
A bit of a learning curve. Having to go to separate pages is annoying at times.
None of this is their fault - they don't claim to do any of this - we needed to spend more time evaluating them vs. the competition.
We now have a system that allows us to quote, book orders, manage and report stock availability, check out and in orders and manage losses.
We are still trying to find the negative points.
"Great potential"
Overall: A really good solution with an excellent price compared to many software options. Very easy to use and simple to expand and contract as needed. No huge investments required. A few areas to keep improving. Hopefully the changes can keep up.
Pros: The software is easy to use and full of features. Really well suited to straightforward rentals and a small to medium business. Cloud based makes it excellent from a hardware requirements and access point of view.
Cons: There are areas that need more flexibility especially once you want to move away from the basic to anything more complex. It can be difficult to make it work to your own business rather than as per the original.
"Good Product"
Overall: Overall, we are very happy with the product and continue to customize it as we grow.
Pros: It creates a single platform to view all rentals, management equipment and interface with the clients. Integration with other apps, such as Quickbooks, is crucial.
Cons: It is expensive to have our entire crew as users to use the scheduling function. Setting up of the dates in each opportunity is cumbersome.Most events are on the same day. Having to change the delivery date, charging start date, charging end date, and the pick up date every time is tedious.
"Only just about worth having - I'm sure there are better on the market - development is slow"
Overall: We've had current RMS since 2017. We've used it because at the time everyone was raving about it compared to hiretrack and rentalpoint. Fundamentally it's a good idea but it's been bolted and added onto so much now that it really does need an overhaul. We considered getting rid of it and going back to our old system but decided it's (only just) worth having. With recent price increases we may revisit that though...
Pros: That it tries to bring all elements of rental management in to one platform
Cons: That it tries to appeal to too many markets. It is never set up how you want it. There are constant workarounds which need to be in place. Development of ideas is slow and cumbersome.
"Great software for small business"
Overall: Overall current has worked for us, as we continue to grow we shall see if it can scale with us. I do have concerns that it wont based on previous feedback to the team.
Pros: Easy to use for the most part, team is accessible to chat with.
Cons: Scheduling and resource planner get very cluttered with multiple stores. The feedback doesn’t really seem to matter when we reach out to the team, its always the same response.
"Awesome for Gear, Light on Crew"
Overall: Very good! The team is wonderful and the platform works well for what the designers intended it to do. We are just looking for a little more complete ecosystem, and I’ve been asking them to make additional developments to make our lives easier.
Pros: The inventory, rental management part of it is excellent!
Cons: The crew scheduling needs quite a bit of love. Also, the ability to get all of the information that has been put into current out of it needs significant help. Like a crew app with all the details and docs would be life changing!
