### "Great Option for 'Testing the Waters' with EDI"

May 19, 2023

5.0

We used it in class to show the basics of what Electronic Data Interchange is, and how it works for processing invoices automatically .

Pros

We were able to use ProEDI in a Business Accounting class I teach. They had a trial version so it cost us nothing... and we just used it for the templates / dummy data to illustrate what EDI was to our students.

Cons

It was a little confusing and there was documentation but it was two large PDFs with alot of information.

### "Best 3rd party software I've used"

May 18, 2018

5.0

Automation

Pros

I absolutely love the flexibility that this software provides! We used a product called Sterling Integrator at my previous job and it was a great product but very expensive. If you're looking for a cost effective solution for your EDI needs, I challenge you to find a better product. All this being said, it's the employees that make this product stand out. Incredibly easy to deal with, very responsive, patient, etc... Extremely happy with our choice!

Cons

There is really nothing that I don't like about this software. I can say that others may not like the fact that it's an older product that doesn't have an updated interface. For me, that's not an issue because I'm all about results rather than a pretty interface. This product just works!

Thanks for the glowing review Scott! We hope your Setup goes smoothly for years to come! Our Support Team really appreciates the fun atmosphere the Office 360 Team brings to the otherwise dry world of EDI =)

### "Pro\_EDI software has been very reliable and flexible in performing all of our EDI processing."

May 24, 2018

5.0

We have been able to quickly set up and implement EDI with hundreds of customers at a very economical cost.

Pros

I love that you can set up as many EDI Trading Partners as you want with no extra charges. I also like that you can create as many of your own mapping "templates" as you want with no additional fees.

Cons

The user interface on the Unix version is a little dated. Would like to have a GUI rather than character based. Could use a few more "Conditionals" to allow for math functions. Would like the ability to add comments to each individual field or element "mapping".

Thanks for the positive review Craig! We don't get as much interest in the UNIX version these days, but I'll pass those comments on to our Dev Team. Our Support Team says Hi by the way!

### "The most cost effective and easy way to do EDI"

January 29, 2019

5.0

Pros

After taking the class and learning how to use the software, the setup and translations were a breeze. The stability of the software is solid. We've been using it for the past 3 years without any issues.

Cons

There really wasn't any cons. But you do need to take the class to be able use the software. Like anything else.

Response from Pro\_EDI

May 17, 2023

Thanks for the review Joey! And just a heads up, about 25% of our customers elect to take the optional in person or online training. It kind of depends on the complexities of your mapping requirements.

### "Rock Solid software."

May 15, 2018

5.0

Pros

We have been using PROEDI for 15+ years. I've rarely had any issues with the software. Translations are easy to setup and very customizable. Never found a translation or mapping that I couldn't do in PROEDI

Cons

The UI on Linux is a bit dated. No version control for mappings, implementation or trading partners

Response from Pro\_EDI

May 21, 2018

While our Linux interface is less than ideal, ProEDI is Cross-Platform compatible. That allows our customers to create the EDI Maps in the more user-friendly Windows Version, and then run those same maps on the Linux machines with no problem. Some clients also have us create their maps if they are using an all-Linux environment. Let us know if you have questions!

### "We have ProEDI running on Unix interfaced with our custom ERP and it is stable and fast."

May 22, 2018

4.0

An automated EDI process handling thousands of documents a day.

Pros

Easy to interface with other applications. Excellent Tech Support. Fully documented to provide easy interfacing and use.

Cons

There is very little wrong with this software and it runs quickly on our legacy SCO Unix system. Once in a while it may hang for a few minutes, and that may be due to other operations on the system.

I believe at this point we're the only UNIX EDI Platform that is still actively supported... and for sure the only Cross-Platform compatible EDI Software solution out there. Thanks for your many years of business Scott!!

### "Software is easy to use and support is great"

May 18, 2018

5.0

Pros

This software is simple, effective, and a great value. The customer support is always very helpful and quick to respond.

Cons

The software has a dated look and with that could probably be a bit more user friendly, but it does NOT affect its performance.

### "Once trained, the tool is easy to use"

May 18, 2018

4.0

Pros

The data processes quick and once everything is set up, it works great. When we had problems, the help/support was very helpful and ready to help us resolve our issues.

Cons

A lot of steps to get to what you need. Need more than just the translator piece. Need a communication tool to send and receive the data.

May 21, 2018

Appreciate the honest review Jan! We allow our customers any Communication option they are comfortable with, but also sell EDI VAN Services and AS2 connectivity. Let Support know if you'd like any tips on streamlining the FTP communication. Thanks again!

### "Working with Pro-edi is easy and the support is great. "

May 18, 2018

5.0

Easy edi for a great price

Pros

The team is great to work with. They have done maps for us. They have also helped us to do our own maps.

Cons

We use FTP to get our edi files to the PC. Copying the files back and forth manually is a little tedious.

Response from Pro\_EDI

May 21, 2018

Thanks for the review Cindy! FYI we can provide you with sample scripts that help move the data files back and forth (or to and from your servers / FTP sites) automatically for unattended processing. Email our Support Team if you would like more info on that. Cheers!

### "Proedi's demo was sufficient to giving us enough knowledge to start writing our own maps "

May 18, 2018

5.0

Pros

Ease if use, support staff have been outstanding. Beginning we called, can't say the last time we have called for help.

Cons

If you make a change in the middle need to review everything afterwards. Since I don't have that many cons, would not let me send until I could get more words.

Response from Pro\_EDI

May 21, 2018

Thanks Craig! Your 'Cons' section made me LOL. I'd say that 1/3 of our customers can write maps with JUST the demo as the 'instructional guide' so way to go =)

### "Know Where The Stumps Are"

January 28, 2019

3.0

Pros

It does what it is designed to do, translate EDI data to a text file and vice versa. Support is top notch.

Cons

It can be quirky when modifying layouts and maps. Save often and you will avoid 98% of these.

Thanks for your review Josh! We find a lot of folks find it easier to use ProEDI after a quick demo or an online training session if you're creating maps.

### "ProEDI has made light work of a project I did not have in-house resources for."

September 7, 2017

5.0

Pros

I use this system behind the scene of an automated process. I do not interact with it unless I need to make a change, which I usually work with support. The software is rock solid. The support is even better! The experience has been 100% positive!

### "ProEdi "

January 25, 2019

5.0

Constant customer map changes are handled professional and quickly by the ProEDI translator and staff.

Pros

The flawless execution and reliability is what I like most about this software.

Cons

This has yet to be determined because it performs every task required of it.

### "Great support and instruction on usage, very helpful."

October 10, 2017

5.0

Pros

Great support and instruction on usage was good, so able to use without issues. Used daily and provided what we needed. When changes were required got the help we needed and continued. Very good support!

Cons

That we didn't automate for one user, other users were good with using as we set it up, but some users would have benefited from an automated usage.

Thanks for your review Sharon! FYI we DO have an Automated Setting - ProEDI can be setup to run in 'Unattended Mode' for Automated processing, which includes routing your files to and from your Trading Partners.

### "Software and Support are Good "

August 7, 2013

5.0

We process healthcare claims, and didnt want software that automatically updated our SQL database. ProEDI allows you to map EDI data any way you'd like - so it can either be imported into your system after translation, or you could edit the data again with Excel if need be before transmitting. They have a very friendly support team, tho they close at 6 PM EST. The only downside is the interface could use a makeover. It functions well, especially if you know what you're doing. It just looks a little older... Overall a great product for Healtchare EDI.

September 28, 2015

Thank you for your Review Warren! A lot of people use SQL as their back end for importing / exporting EDI transactions... We work with other Legacy ERP / Backend Software Applications as well. They just have to be able to import / export flat files or .CSV.

### "VAN Services Were the CHEAPEST We Saw in Our Search! "

September 28, 2015

5.0

We were using another Value Added Network that was charging us 'Inter-Connect' Fees and all sorts of other sur charges... We asked ProEDI about their EDI VAN Offerings, and they were able to cut our bills in HALF! We saved 52% the 1st month to be exact, because they don't over charge you and their per kilo-character rate was a lot cheaper than the other 3 'large companies' we were inquiring to.

Thank you for the review. Even if we are not able to provide you with EDI Software, we can always save you money (more easily) on VAN Services.

### "A Simple but effective EDI Translator"

February 27, 2016

5.0

We use Pro EDI just for basic EDI PO and invoice conversion. We used to use QuickBooks, but now we use another accounting package since our business has grown. Pro EDI was able to work with both software platforms. The maps were modified when we changed systems, but the switchover was smooth and painless to us and our customers. We had them write the maps, but they give you the power to write your own EDI maps if you're so inclined.
