Pros Amber is easy to use on a daily operations. The best thing is without a doubt the support I have received from Amber Team, specially \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] himself. Always professional, supportive, willing to listen to any issues and help solve them. Cons The system is local server base and and not cloud, which required higher cost on IT services and hardware maintenance.

General Manager Recreational Facilities and Services ### "Excellent POS option that does not break the wallet" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 August 3, 2020 From the start, the AmberPOS Team has walked us through setup to some minor issues we have had. The fact that they responded with expedience during a 4th of July weekend speaks volumes! The team support has truly been wonderful! Easy program that can be navigated by younger staff, and flexibility of sales ability work very well. Considering that we are a ticket booth, snack bar, and retail store, this program covers all bases for us! Pros Scalability and user friendly features allow this to remain small but give the ability to increase as the business grows. Cons Due to our location, internet is a little slow. Although this is not a cloud based POS, it still requires updates that can bog down our internet. This is NOT an issue with the software, it is an in-house issue. Reasons for choosing AmberPOS Less expensive, better fit for our location/store. We weren't being sold, we were just given information from the other POS providers. AmberPOS treated us with respect and paid attention to all of our concerns during purchasing.

TH Trevor H. Store Manager Retail ### "We made a great decision" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 3, 2020 AmberPOS has taken our store from the analogue era to digital in one fast, relatively easy step. It's been a great transition, with excellent help from AmberPOS staff in every stage. Pros This software has saved our team time, saved us from headaches, and has brought efficiency to our store beyond any other system that has been tried since we started. Cons Although it would be nice to have a little more leeway in customizing some of the terminology within the software (change "Vendor" to "Donor" to fit our business operations, etc), there really isn't any downside to AmberPOS that we've found.

AF Alice F.

Pros Fantastic customer service. Has lots of features for the expense. Cons Wish I could integrate this with a booking scheduler. I have a client database that we use to sent up courses and customer service. We have to manually transfer payment to that client database.

They responded and resolved issues when there are bugs on the system. Cons There are occasionally bugs on the system but Amber resolves and fixes the issue right away. I commend them for that!

None that I can see of. They play smoking mirrors with you. They did start the refund of the cost. Cons They want you to open up your environment to them. They want Team Viewer access to every computer that it is installed on, and SA database access on your SQL server where you do not have access to. They will not even give you the software! Not to mention forwarding the SQL port on your router to the server as well.... Major security holes and would highly recommend staying away from the POS!

Manager Furniture ### "Great training and demos " 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 September 6, 2018 Overall great value and features are mostly what you need to get you off the ground and even growing. Pros Really affordable, especially since they offer multi store features, if you want to expand without expanding your expense. Somewhat easy to use but their team really are quick to help and explain everything so I didn’t feel abandoned at all. Cons I felt the inventory could have been made easier and simpler although to be fair they did eventually help me get it right.

The best part is any one can learn how to use quick Cons Would have been awesome if you could integrate this software with any payment processing companies.

Network Engineer Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing ### "Top notch POS System" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 July 16, 2018 Has a cool training mode, that copies your actual database and you can do tests and play with the features without messing up your actual data. Pros Easy to use, can link multi-location stores and keep all the data centralized on a robust SQL server on the main location. The Barcode designer is great to work with, product labels look professional and are fully customizable with your own logo, etc. Cons Windows only - not really a con but you can't get to use iPads. Requires a decent machine to run on, specially if you're running only one terminal and you have the SQL server on it.
