### "Not just another CRM"

December 12, 2025

5.0

The Magazine Manager feels like a system built by people who actually understand how publishing, sales, and operations collide in real life. It’s flexible without being flimsy, structured without being restrictive. Once dialed in, it streamlines communication, workflow management, and customer relationships in a way that supports growth instead of slowing it down. It’s especially strong for teams that want control, customization, and room to evolve.

Pros

The level of customization sets it apart. Magazine Manager allows you to shape the system around how your team actually works, rather than forcing you into rigid workflows. The built in AI tools are genuinely useful, helping streamline communication and refine brand voice, while the overall platform supports organization, scalability, and long term growth.

Cons

Because it’s so customizable, there is a learning curve. Especially for teams that want to jump in fast without configuring workflows first. Some features aren’t immediately intuitive, but once you understand the system logic, it becomes much more powerful.

### "Great Publishing Software! Great Value for the Investment!"

May 29, 2026

5.0

Everyone of the account managers that we have had for training have been great. Everyone is friendly and helpful. The chat is amazing! The person who mainly runs the board is spot on and helpful. Even the after hours chat bot has been really helpful for us. \[sensitive content hidden\] have been fantastic and Matt has done a great job helping us out with our one off questions!

Pros

We recently switched from another publishing software and we have been very impressed with what MM has to offer. In addition, they continue to make updates every week and listen to the suggestions of their clients. They have been more than helpful in getting us acclimated to the software. We also opted to have Marketing Manager which has been helpful to have the email interactions recorded in our CRM. We are still learning, but so far it has been a great experience, and we are looking forward to future updates. It was worth taking the leap and a good value for the investment!

Cons

The conversion over - which was not there fault per se, but anyone converting I suggest they talk to some at MM and request an account manager that has experience with a conversion from the platform you previously were on. We found that person a little ate in the game and I think planning with that person woul dhave made our conversion a little smoother. Improvements can be made ont he Marketing Manager side as it relates to creating segments and workflows - it seems we should be able to click on groups in Magazine Manager and send vs. having to make that a segment first, name it, then send. Too many steps, but the connection to the CRM and the recording of the interaction for the reps make this worth the extra steps. Also, being able to update a billing contact after it has been invoiced would be extremely helpful.

Switched from

[LaunchPad Media Management](https://www.capterra.com/p/178968/LaunchPad-Media-Management/)

LaundPad was antiquated. Email system from CRM was clunky and hard to deal with. Could not do top level marketing sends effectively. Reporting also was difficult and custom reporting always would time out after running or when slicing the data would fail during a refresh/update.

### "A solid product that can do it all, if you can figure out how to use it."

April 15, 2018

3.0

Pros

We were managing our printed magazine with a series of spreadsheets on Google until we jumped to Magazine Manager. Now our team has real-time access to billing, contracts, pagination and flatplanning. It hasn't been easy and continues to present difficulties, but overall I'd say using Magazine Manager has been a benefit for our company.

Cons

Though they've tried facelift after facelift, I feel that the product is just so complex and has so much "technical debt" at this point in time that it needs a complete rewrite from the ground up in order to feel like a modern product. It is complex software designed to manage complex businesses, but it just doesn't meet the user interface and usability we're accustomed to in 2018.

### "2 thumbs up!"

May 1, 2026

5.0

My overall experience has been great. The live chat is a lifesaver and the production workflow tracking saves me so much time over how I used to do it.

Pros

Huge number of ways to pull data. Production work flow is easily tracked and quick to update. Requests for changes in the MM system are welcome and seriously considered when they do updates. Excellent customer service and live chat.

Cons

Since there are so many options, there is a moderate learning curve to master everything. We continue to have a glitch with our emails and are not able to link outbound client/prospecting emails to the MM account.

### "MM Review 2026"

January 5, 2026

5.0

The quality of Magazine Manager is excellent for sales and publications. The team does their best to respond to issues quickly, and I really appreciate the ongoing support. If I ever miss something new, they always send a training link that I can watch at my convenience—super helpful and easy to fit into my schedule.

Pros

Magazine Manager has been a great addition to my workflow. I really like the platform—it’s intuitive, keeps me organized, and makes it easy to stay on top of priorities. The client tracking and goal-setting tools are especially helpful, and I love having the ability to monitor performance and quickly reference customer history in one place. I’m also looking forward to using more of the production applications as I continue working in the system. Overall, it’s a well-built platform that supports day-to-day efficiency and better long-term planning.

Cons

I do wish there were a way to copy and paste proposals even after they’ve passed the close date, with the ability to update and refresh them as needed.

### "Great company and product"

April 27, 2026

5.0

I think we've been with them for 15 years and they have always been easy and great to work with. We really like them as a company.

Pros

Well organized, great customer support, Good value, fast and reliable. I'm comfortable with the CRM and know our data is safe and it's easy to get help and training when I need it.

Cons

There are too many options on the menus, it's hard to remember where a certain report or option lives.

### "Great software for publications!"

December 30, 2025

5.0

It works great for us. The support in getting it set up and learning it was great. Also really good training each time we hire someone new.

Pros

Magazine manager was made for publications so it is great for managing both the advertising side and the circulation side. It also helps us do more with our data.

Cons

The one thing I don't like is that you can't map email addresses input through the email upload back to contacts in the CRM. Those two areas are not as connected as I'd like.

### "The Best Magazine Publishing CRM Out There, Hands Down"

June 27, 2025

5.0

Outstanding. I have used multiple CRM platforms and have found the experience with The Magazine Manager second-to-none.

Pros

Hands down, the best CRM platform for a magazine publisher. The team at Mirabel Technologies is investing heavily in technology (think AI), and the customer support is second to none. If you are considering a switch and want to improve your team's productivity significantly, I highly recommend taking a close look at The Magazine Manager. It seamlessly integrates everything from CRM to production, to accounting, and they are even working on editorial integrations.

Cons

It's challenging to identify a downside to The Magazine Manager, so I have to dig deeper. Sometimes it is like drinking out of a firehose? That can be a good thing—rapid advancements and constantly improving. Minor improvements would be to simplify the ability to merge active accounts without tech support, and create a template to easily create a sales-to-goals dashboard by product for management (team individually).

### "Looking forward to the future"

June 6, 2025

4.0

Overall - it's been great! MM listens to their customers. MM has taken some of my suggestions/complaints over the years and have made updates. Customer Service is above a 5 star rating - \[sensitive content hidden\] (our 1st consultant), \[sensitive content hidden\] (our consultant now), \[sensitive content hidden\] ! They are amazing and always up for the challenge of my questions and quick to find a solution.

Pros

The automations that have been added. Like the auto convert of proposals and signed copy to client files. Love having a complete system - from orders, production and layout, Marketing emails, comp subscriptions, etc.

Cons

Some of the "accounting" functions. Could be more Accounting friendly. The access to customer portal. We have customers that have issues and are unable to help them unless they give us their password - not sure how that is more secure.

December 12, 2025

5.0

My overall experience with Magazine Manager has been positive! Any questions we've had have been answered very quickly in an easy to understand way - the real stand out is their customer service. Magazine Manager also has a great setup that allows us to do most of our work here without having to use other programs.

Pros

What I liked most about Magazine Manager has been by far the incredible customer support we've received. \[sensitive content hidden\] in particular has been really fantastic with answering our questions thoroughly & quickly in a friendly manner while always getting back to us very quickly.

Cons

I would also like if the email templates, forms and landing pages were more customizable with the drag & drop features/templates. We would also appreciate more support with magazines that aren't monthly (for example, we run on a 4 week cycle as do many publications)

September 15, 2022

Staff have been very helpful with transitioning our data to Magazine Manager. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] is so helpful!

Pros

Magazine Manager is relatively intuitive. Staff are much happier working in this system than the one we switched from. The data is reliable. I'm confident that when I run a report it's pulling in data correctly.

Cons

Pricing of the software is always challenging. I wish that they would not charge per user.

May 10, 2024

5.0

Overall I am quite happy with the change, and look forward to growing with magazine manager and learning the new features that they are constantly adding on a regular basis.

Pros

I finally found a CRM that was built for the publishing industry that we didn't have to pay someone a lot of money to build out. They are constantly doing updates to make it or intuitive and friendly.

Cons

Sometimes it is more complicated than it needs to be, or they haven't completely developed certain aspects they are still under development.

I enjoy using Magazine Manager and would recommend the platform to other publications for its of use and scalability with my colleagues.

Pros

### "Magazine Manager VIP"

November 8, 2024

4.0

The chat feature works extremely well. I'm thrilled to have live support within minutes, and transcripts emailed at the conclusion of the conversation.

Pros

The Magazine Manager helps efficiently streamline the sales process - it combines your address book, calendar, and reminder apps all in one, and has the added benefit of AI. It also helps teams with cross-selling, inventory management, and marketing outreach.

Cons

It would be great if each company/business had an umbrella account ID. This way users could refer to a business by the account ID, versus having to relay multiple IDs for the individual contacts, when referring to an account. This would be beneficial since businesses can have more than one contact for sales, production, and billing. The mobile capabilities are quite limited. Both the UI and UX could be updated to provide an experience similar to the web version.

Response from Mirabel Technologies

November 11, 2024

Hi Jeni, Thanks for the great review! We appreciate you! Regarding your comment on having an umbrella account ID, we have added a new 'Parent Company' feature that will allow you to group together Companies & Sub Contacts under one shared account that then can be used as an additional search filter. This feature can be used for parent/subsidiary company relationships as well as just for simpler grouping & searching - such as in your case. If you would like to learn more about this feature, feel free to reach out to your software consultant who would be more than happy to walk you through it.

My overall experience with Magazine Manger has been great! I thought it would be a difficult transition coming from the Salesforce platform, but it was easy and the customer support is extremely helpful. Also, Magazine Manager is constantly updating and improving.

Pros

Easy to use and navigate basic functions for new users. Offers different reporting that is valuable to measure growth. Electronic Signature is another great feature for easy signing and the agreement is pulled right into client account.

Cons

It's not perfect. There are a lot reporting options and sometimes it can be too many options. I'd like a feature that automatically pulls my numbers without having to choose so many filters.

### "Marketing Software That Works"

May 18, 2021

5.0

Overall it has been a good experience. Changes to the invoicing and payment system have been helpful. Really looking forward to the Google integration.

Pros

With anything, there is a learning curve and it is the same with Magazine Manager. Once you have the features all figured out then things start to progress quickly. With the Client contact lists grading them is helpful so that you are getting to the Hottest clients first then working your way through the list. The mobile version is critical when out on the road.

Cons

My frustration comes when there is an agency involved with the account. The company contact comes up but then you have to remember that the agency is the one to contact and have to transfer out. Then when you capture an email to the agency to have put in the no0tes, it goes to all of the accounts that the agency is linked to and can create confusion. ie: Alex approved the Jan Issue Full Page for $6200. And the email ends up in several different accounts to Trinity Trailer, Nachurs Chemical company, and DoFine Irrigation.

I've really come a long way and recognize it is one powerful tool that I want to continue to use BUT GROW MY CUSTOMERS. My overall experience is a 10 out of 10 POSITIVE.

Pros

It keeps my data and call lists easily accessible when needed.

Cons

I feel that the system sometimes is just overwhelming with all it can do. Since I'm not on our development team, I don't have the insight they may have. I'm a user and really, sometimes I just don't need all that's there. REPORTING for just a SALES REP would be good.

### "Publishing with Magazine Manager"

May 19, 2023

5.0

Magazine Manager is successfully used by our teams to manage several different publications. We have modified features to suit our needs and there are many we don't use. The support has always been fast and helpful.

Pros

The Digital Studio and Production Module are used daily by our team to track the status of each order in our system from entry to production. The module searches are easy to customize for items accessed regularly. Digital Studio allows for quick changes of placement when updates come through for the publicatiohn.

Cons

There's a bit of a delay in the list updates in Email Builder when pulling from our Magazine Manager contacts which prohibits same-day emails in an effort to be certain the lists are updated. The test email is also undependable as it may not come through for 24 hours or more.

### "Why every publisher should use Magazine Manager "

October 10, 2022

5.0

Our team has been able to increase efficiencies across the board with Magazine Manager. There is much more transparency into all areas of the business as well as the production workflow. This tool has tremendously helped our sales team, production team and accounting team. We look forward to switching our circulation team and art \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] over to this platform so we can have our entire company operate out of a single system.

Pros

Above all else, the customer service I receive from Magazine Manager employees in unparalleled. Not only is it a fantastic software with every capability we need and then some, but the team they have put in place at Magazine Manager is what I like most about working with them. Everyone is so incredibly knowledgeable and willing to jump in and help no matter what the request may be. I don't consider myself well versed in anything technology, but in working with Magazine Manager, I've been able to overcome those challenges and help my team create a workflow that has much more ease and transparency than ever before.

Cons

Because there are so many features and capabilities, I sometimes feel as though I am missing out on some of the benefits the software provides. I want to be more of an expert on the software rather than an expert in only a few areas. I do appreciate all the webinars put out by Magazine Manager and am certain that my knowledge will expand as time goes on.

Reason for choosing The Magazine Manager

Because of its specific focus on publishing.

The training is excellent. I'm overjoyed at having one software platform that is specific to my industry. I wish I had a similar program when I was in sales in my previous profession. Magazine manager is the total solution.

Pros

I am impressed with the ease of use and the multitude of features. It truly is like outsourcing my entire operation but I like being the one to manage it all which is very do-able now that I have one software program that ties all of the loose ends up for me while driving my business forward.

Cons

I don't have anything to add here. It does what I intended it to do and more.

Reason for choosing The Magazine Manager

A trusted friend recommended it to me.

### "The Magazine Manager connects the dots"

May 19, 2023

5.0

The support is exceptional. Conversion is always a huge task and overwhelming, but the MM team is patient and walked us through every step, often more than once.

Pros

MM integrates all the disconnected silos of information and data we struggled with for years - CRM, sales and order data, accounting, invoicing, prospecting lists, newsletter and print magazine production data, email marketing, newsletter publishing. We know that the information is real-time. I no longer have to ask someone if a certain spreadsheet is up-to-date (and we had dozens).

Cons

Mirabel has an aggressive plan to continuously update the software features, but the priorities of the majority of users, which drive the development schedule, are not always ours. For example, the power of Custom Fields is underutilized because they cannot be batch updated by the user (without submitting a ticket), nor can they be used as variables in mail merge.
