### "I have been using Mikal for 18 years. It has met many of the customized needs of my company."

May 23, 2017

4.0

Pros

Mikal is comprehensive, customizable and loaded with many features. Customer service includes marketing as well as technical support. It is suitable for non-salon, wellness-oriented companies such as my establishment. Mikal will build and create custom features upon request. The staff is very knowledgeable and reliable. Mikal conducts regular educational, hands-on events, both locally and off-site, for the benefit of its users.

Cons

The software is not as user-friendly as other, simpler appointment book and point of sales programs. It does require extra effort to learn because there are so many variable features. That said, one need only learn the features that you will be using, thereby making it simpler to learn. Mikal is not currently cloud-based optional and therefore not as up to date with the latest technological features available with other programs.

### "Easy, efficient & customized salon software gives me freedom to focus on more important tasks."

June 2, 2017

5.0

Pros

Mikal does everything I need, even things I didn't know I needed and now can't imagine being without. It 's fairly straightforward to train new team members on, the support with the software is insurmountable. The software is tailor-fit to my specific preferences and the company is incredibly responsive to the ever changing needs of the industry.

Cons

I do wish I had a detailed user manual to refer to when support is not available. Sometimes I just can't remember where to find or how to run that one pesky report and etc. A list of what error codes are and trouble shooting for each one-the help buttons/option do not offer much information at all. Multi-screen use especially during reports would save some serious time and frustration.

Used this software since 1989 so obviously I loved it but the support staff I used were no longer with the company and the new support staff was not helpful

Pros

Easy to use but wanted to be able access remotely

Cons

Support staff in the past were very helpful but new people were not

### "Very professional and always ready to help. "

June 7, 2017

5.0

Pros

It's easy to navigate! Employees really like to use the one in the dispensary to troubleshoot there schedule and add/check color formulas. Not many software offers that option.

Cons

Only thing is missing is the clients feedback/review option. Demandforce does it for us now, I would really like to eliminate Demandforce if they would provide us that option.

Pros

As a long-time user, I can't actually compare it to anything else but I think it's pretty easy to use

I would like to be able to print to screen on some reports and better help menu example; being able to type in what is a turn or what is min-max etc

### "User friendly and endless amounts of support when needed! "

July 24, 2018

5.0

Reports at a glance, organized customer database. Uniform procedure for all staff

Pros

The support team is amazing. Most time when you run into an issue troubl shooting or an automated system is your only line of support. With Mikal their support staff is accessible. They are polite and friendly and always get to the root of my issue in minutes. The program can be customized for the clients needs which was very helpful for me as a user. No wasted work.

Cons

My only suggestion would be updating the user interface. its looks is a bit bland or old i should say but its functions are anything but

Mikal continues to impress. They are constantly growing and keeping the software up to date with the ever increasing demand from clients. They offer features like online booking, demand force integration, and our employees can book their guests from anywhere using their smartphones. I am able to run my business more effectively because of how the system keeps track of all inventory, guest buying habits, and employee sales. The reports generated by Mikal help me make important decisions on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis.

One of the easiest to set up and daily operations are a breeze. One of the best software's in the industry for tracking clients sales, information, chemical information. Integrates seamlessly with Demand Force and X-Charge for increased online booking presence and Credit Card and X-Check processing. Wonderful, professional company that is always listening to us in the field as to what is needed in the next generation update.
