Overall Satisfaction with Accruent EMS Software
We use EMS to manage our internal conference and meeting room space. It is used extensively throughout our organization. It allows our staff to reserve meeting space and designate food service.
- It allows cost accounting.
- It avoids double-booking meeting space, thus it prevents confusion and wasting time.
- We have had issues with the EMS plugin for Outlook. Sometimes the plugin stops working after Microsoft Windows updates. We have to uninstall and re-install the plugin and re-enable it in Add-ins.
- The client software must match the server software. There is no backward compatibility. We have to track down all the users who have the client software whenever we upgrade the server.
- The software is easy to manage. The administrator can control what access each user has. They can make some users power users who can use the client software versus using a web browser.
EMS has more flexibility for configuring our unique needs as opposed to scheduling a room in Outlook. Outlook out of the box does not have the ability to do cost accounting and room configurations.
