### "NLS - A Tank"

March 10, 2020

4.0

Good. Implementation and conversion was a challenge but once we got past those issues the system has been incredibly stable.

Pros

Generally able to get the system to do what you need it to do. Not always pretty but I have not come across any critical need that can't be handled by the system with limited need for customization. The company and the software have evolved over the years.

Cons

Should have the ability to drag/reorder tabs at the bottom. Different users have different needs. Bugs in new versions are unpredictable and annoying. Small companies generally do not have the resources to do extensive testing.

Reason for choosing The Nortridge Loan System

Cost effective solution

### "NLS System"

March 10, 2020

5.0

I like the control I have in the system. because of all the options you have with the technology, support has to look at most issues at the micro level which can add time to getting an issue resolved. The more experience I get by using the system, let less issues I have.

Pros

I like the ability to manage a diverse portfolio. We Service a variety portfolio types as we as manage our own accounts. Having the ability to create different communication plans by loan groups allows us to provide appropriate messaging based on the type of loan and consumer. Solid product.

Cons

Took me a while to understand how set up the system initially. Some trial and error and a lot of tickets to support until it "clicked".

### "Support and functionality are core drivers"

March 10, 2020

5.0

Overall experience is wonderful

Pros

We like to describe NLS as a box of sticks. The finished product is only constrained by your imagination. The ease of custom reporting from the database, integration of complimentary software and great support from the Nortridge team top my list of LIKES

Cons

Missing or could be approved- unlimited derived UDF’s and User Defined Tabs. Also more triggers for custom scripting in NLSServices. A time\\date schedule option would be great On boarding mid-stream loans can be a struggle to conform to original TIL boxes

### "Great Software"

March 10, 2020

4.0

A lot of time and cost saving factors such as send statements through the document queue to the print shop.

Pros

This platform is very flexible, we have over 50 different loan programs all of which we have been able to implement quickly and easily from origination to servicing.

Cons

There are a few features on the servicing side which we would have preferred to have had sooner rather than later but NLS has been cooperative in getting these released in recent updates.

Reason for choosing The Nortridge Loan System

We reviewed many platforms and found NLS to be the best value.

### "Very Good Loan Servicing Software"

May 27, 2020

5.0

Good experience overall. Anyone looking to lighten their load and automate things where loan processing is concerned should try implementing this software.

Pros

As a Financial Service company, we also process loans for clients. This is a very good loan servicing software that helps you to keep track of loans in the pipeline, email or text customers with updates or questions, generate documents, etc. It's an all-in-one system that replaces having to manually do each aspect of loan processing.

Cons

This is a robust system. Long ago doing mortgages, used to use a software called Point, and this is far more updated and sophisticated.

### "NLS Review"

March 11, 2020

3.0

Pretty good. I really enjoy the people and working with them. Support has improved a lot over the past couple of years.

Pros

The opportunities to automate processes and take the load off manual input and human error.

Cons

The bugs, and the lack of consistent documentation. There is a lot of documentation stating that parts of the system work. But when trying to use it, I run into errors or things don't work as they say they are supposed to.

### "Nortridge Loan System"

March 10, 2020

4.0

Overall the partner relationship is a good one with Nortridge being very attentive to our needs.

Pros

It is very customizable and you can pretty much do anything you need to do. Some more complicated than others depending on the requirements on your business.

Cons

The upgrades are sometimes very cumbersome, requiring a lot of testing. Sometimes because of the size of our data, we have problems with things like schema changes.

### "Solid ssten"

March 12, 2019

5.0

Our company got into the loan servicing business without really understanding it. Our attempt to build it from scratch was iladvised and we needed a solid software to support this. Nortridge has done the job

Pros

It does the core functions flawlessly. We still are waiting for better API integrations but they have come a long way.

Cons

We still have issues with support responsiveness. Its taken a long time to get a web client but its on the way.

### "Nortridge for Loan Servicing"

March 10, 2020

5.0

Pros

We have been long time users of the software, as buyers of existing loans we have a diverse portfolio of accounts. These accounts have many different setups. The NLS system has never been unable to handle the setup on a loan. It is also great that we can customize the software to fit our specific needs.

Cons

I can not think of any cons at this time.

### "Platform for growth"

March 10, 2020

5.0

Excellent.

Pros

I use this software to bend down the cost curve during our rapid period of growth. Without the tools this software provides the challenges we face would could not be solved and our expense load would be much much greater.

Cons

Debugging vbscript is a challenge. I would be nice if there were a way to write vbscript outside the product and then integrated as needed.

Before attending this conference I wasn't super thrilled with the software - it works for what we need. After attending this conference, I've realized the actual value of the software and how much value the software actually provides.

Pros

It is simple to use and is easy to learn.

Cons

I am looking forward to the new enhancements to the software that we discussed during this user meeting.

Cons

I have had some issues with the accruals not working properly but we have since resolved the issue via customer support.

### "CDFI review"

March 12, 2019

5.0

Overall the system is great and works well for what we're currently doing. I know we're looking to understand more of the functionality and upgrade with an U/I portion.

Pros

It's a pretty intuitive system and easy to understand how the buttons and commands function

Cons

When pulling reports we can't get archived loan data and have to save pulled reports to get a snapshot of our portfolio in that time. Would love the ability to go back in time and see what our portfolio looks like at that time.

Implementation, development, consultation.

Pros

Almost a one stop shop for originations and servicing.

Cons

Complex, sometimes performance issues, sometimes does not do what's documented or expected. None of these are deal killers.

NLS does it all. Almost.
