Pros: We love that it is concentrated for Publishers and our needs. Having royalties done automatically at the end of every posting day is a huge burden off of us.
Cons: It has a little bit more of a learning curve than we anticipated it having. To fix problems you are fairly dependent on support to get them fixed.
Elan Software Review
Comments: The implementation and conversion process we experienced from Cispub to Elan was the best conversion process that I have experienced having gone through 5 separate conversions in the past 20 years. The MSG staff have been outstanding in their response to our specific needs. Overall I could not have asked for better results.
Pros: I like when we hire new users, the training is minimal as the system is easy to navigate and understandable
Cons: I dislike the Help section..it's not up to date nor easy to search through. Often times I will search and the results bring back nothing. It's not very intuitive.
Overall: It assists with making my job easier to accommodate advertising clients and internal management.
