There is nothing positive about CMS / Guest Centrix that I can write about objectively. Our experinece with CMS over a period of 19 month has been nothing short of distressing and has cost our business $$$$. We have finally found a suitable software and migrated.

Cons

User interface is outdated and hard to use. Integration with other software is very limited and extremely expensive and time consuming as CMS charges excessively for any integration and do nothing in less than 3 months. Support is very poor as is training. Updates are almost non existent and not automated requiring system shutdown during core business hours. They have very poor relationships within the industry and make little effrot to maintain relationship with existing customers. Unfortunately I cannot write anything positive about CMS and I am very pleased that we have finally migrated from this platform at great cost, effort and inconvenience to our hotels. I would be pleased to provide objective feedback if needed if anyone is looking to subscribe to Guest Centrix / CMS. You may want to do yourself and your company a big favour short term and long term by avoiding CMS totally and not fall for their fake sales pitches.

Hi Spencer Whilst it is disappointing that the review you have given CMS is negative and I don't agree with many of your comments, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback.

Guest Centrix does and excellent job of bridging the gap between Trust Accounting and a solid Property Management by providing a fully integrated solution with the features and functionality one would expect from both solutions.

Pros

Fully Integrated

Cons

User interface needs an overhaul - this is coming in the web version I understand

after building a new hotel in Sydney the biggest mistake I made was going with CMS hospitality. The system is not what the great sales person made it out to be! PAYING for support. Takes days to get back to you followed by sorry that was in your training you should already know that. They offer free training when you complain but when time to booking they renege on this! A great company is a leadership from the top which in this case the leader is disrespectful and not willing to assist with their client's requirements, I have the emails to prove it. Trust me STAY AWAY! I learned the hard way after $$$$ and endless complaints from my staff. Feel free to contact me for any advice, I won't turn you away like CMS will.

Dear Paul, It was great to meet you recently again and discuss these issues in person. I appreciate your time and regret that you were less than satisfied with our service. We operate in over 25 countries with a lot of very satisfied customers but let ourselves down on this occasion. As you agreed when we met there were some challenges on both sides with this deal. I do not wish to comment on the points you raised but would like to thank you for giving us the opportunity in the first place and I wish you and your family all the very best with your expansion plans. I highly recommend your beautiful venue to everyone. Regards, Roy McCullagh, CMS Hospitality / GuestCentrix
