### "Cumbersome. Confusing"

April 4, 2018

2.0

Not enough. Which is why my company is moving our accounts to another software

Pros

It does have all the info at one's fingertips. I use it basically for accounting purposes and once I can find the information I need, it is helpful.

Cons

I don't like having to close out of each contract, or whatever it's called, each time. I try to look up specific information on a rental and usually forget to click a "close this record" button which leaves it open and annoying for everyone else.

### "Eagle Guard Self Storage"

June 25, 2021

5.0

Overall it has been a good experience and out of all the representatives I have spoken to with questions along the way I have to say that \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] is the best. You are very lucky to have him working with your company. He has been a lifesaver to me with answering all my questions effectively and very knowledgeable. He goes above and beyond to assist with anything needed. Always so pleasant on the phone and responds in a timely manner. I wish I could have him on my team in the storage facility world.

Pros

The monthly costs are much lower than other software.

Cons

To not have to complete a full setup when signing up multiple sites because that is a lengthy process.

Reason for choosing WebSelfStorage

### "Absolute nightmare."

June 7, 2018

1.0

none

Pros

Nothing. Since the upgrade it is an absolute nightmare. No payment history, no record of emails,r resulting in multiple emails to the customers, payment processing takes longer. TERRIBLE

Cons

Everything - I'm canceling after 8 years. Update is a nightmare - they just tried to take out of our account from February - terrible customer service.

### "Was this program designed by common core majors?"

November 28, 2018

1.0

While I understand there are glitches with new software programs, these glitches are ridiculous! I feel like a guinea pig that was given saccharine back in the 80's. I've experienced software changes over the years but nothing nearly as bad as this. Get it together, folks because these reviews are horrible & y'all may be losing more business!

Pros

The layout is refreshing but that's it..

Cons

Customers (that aren't on auto pay)that had credit cards stored in the old version did not merge over. Invoices get emailed in triplicate. Some invoices didn't even get emailed. The previous letters/invoices did not merge over. I'm scared to see what's going to happen with the accounting come the 1st of the month when rent is due!

### "New upgrade costs heavily in time and we had to call in digi-gate to make interface work."

March 3, 2018

3.0

Helps you consider possibilities.

Pros

Excellent controls - good for multi location operation. Low cost. Usable from remote computers. Some customer reference from other locatioins

Cons

Repeated failed upgrades and cloud interface. On new system, after a week they still are down loading other storage customers mixed in with our customers.

### "New program/ worst decision WSS has made"

January 3, 2019

1.0

Loved the old program. Your decision to force the new program on us was not the right thing to do.

Pros

Not much. In every aspect it has made my job harder!

Cons

There are so many things. Mainly my numbers are not correct on my reports even now. We were changed over on 11/15/18. I and other managers have sat forever on chat, who knows nothing about the new program, and have called the Admin line multiple times only to be told that they will open a ticket and let me know when the problem is resolved. Never hear back from them. The webinar was no help at all! It is not eco friendly. Every report that needs to be printed is at least 3 pages and lord help you when you print a walk around report or cash drawer summery or management summary. We go through so much paper now. Pre-paid customers are still not correct, either. I could go on and on but I will stop here. This new program has kept me upset and stressed since the beginning.

### "We have the new version of WSS and it has been horrible compared to the previous."

July 26, 2017

1.0

Pros

Rich feature set, easy to use user interface, retail integration and inventory, credit card processing is very cost competitive.

Cons

Lots of bugs, report generation is weak, poor support, poor communication. Previous version was much better.

### "Easy to use"

September 4, 2019

Pros

Software is easy to use and covers the basic functions we needed at a fraction of the cost we were paying. Still learning and getting things adjusted but really no complaints

Cons

So far I have nothing negative to add.

### "The legacy program was great! The new system is very disappointing and frustrating. Terrible!!"

August 21, 2017

1.0

Actually no benefit over the legacy program.

Pros

Cost is plus. However, if the software cannot perform up to expectations maybe cost isn't everything.

### "WebSelfStorage"

December 11, 2019

5.0

It seems to be the simpler of the two storage websites that we use which is helpful for some of our employees.

Pros

There are certain features that I prefer on this software compared to our other one we use. We own 3 facilities and use this at only 1 of them, our smallest. There are more options including purchasing insurance for our customers that I like.

Cons

I don’t like that sometimes the system will not register when I have saved and closed a customers profile. When another user tries to log on sometimes it will say that the profile was left open and no one can access it. It’s frustrating.

### "Don't use, this is a tricky program"

November 30, 2014

1.0

I have been attempting to use WebSelfStorage from Emove for 3 months now. I continually find it awkward and challenging to use. They tell me its designed to have rents reported on the day that they occur, but I can't do that. It regularly calculates erroneous fees, that even the techs at emove can't remove. I admit it is a very complicated program, designed to cover all options, but this complexity makes it frustrating for me with a small self storage facility. Their techs end up scratching their heads, when trying to help me, and often tell me the program can't do whatever I am asking (ie. remove an erroneous fee or move someone into a unit that they reserved without first cancelling the reservation). Today's problem, I can't record a payment, and they stopped answering phones early afternoon. I'm appreciative they have weekend hours, but they close by mid afternoon weekdays. PROS: They can help find tenants for a reasonable fee. Customer Service is friendly and tries. CONS: Necessity of too many work arounds in their extremely rigid software. It is not user friendly, even for the computer literate user.

August 21, 2019

Webself storage is a great site for self storage facilities. I have the pleasure of working with my rep she has been so much help!

Pros

Easy to use. Letting them send my letters out is definitely the best part

Cons

Not the best reports they need more detailed reports

November 26, 2019

Only have used the free trial so im not quite sure how i feel about it, its expensive! 34.95 a month. Almost as much as a live storage. LOL

Pros

Pros for this site is you can use it on your smart phone and not just a computer! Which now a days people use smartphones more!

Cons

I havent used it long enough to find out very many cons, i just know that Its better than other computer hangouts!

November 7, 2019

5.0

One word: Fantastic!

Pros

The site map design was so easy. The operational benefits are great and help me know what's going on at a glance.

Cons

It's all good. I should have taken a class. I learned the program on the fly with the help of others!

Reason for choosing WebSelfStorage

Comprehensive package.

### "No Other Software Compares"

October 14, 2009

5.0

Highly recommend due to ease of use, benefits, and price. I have used other software programs and Webselfstorage blows them out of the water.

Pros

Ease of use. I don't have to deal with an outside company for any of the benefits Webselfstorage offers my facility. This includes credit card processing and insurance. Extremely affordable and I can access my account anywhere I have internet access. eMove also lists my facility on their website for advertising and reservations.

Cons

Nothing to complain about.

### "Totally sold!"

January 31, 2017

5.0

I started with other programs that are no where near as comprehensive as WSS. If I have an issue they usually already know about it before I ask. For the price and for the support, there is nothing else available that can touch it!!!
