BookSteam vs. JRNI vs. Lemax

BookSteam is suited pretty much for any business that takes appointments. It's perfect for businesses who don't want the hassle of phone scheduling, rescheduling, calling people back and talking to the answering machine. Everything is automated and done online. I believe they even offer class scheduling, so that is also perfect for businesses who need group scheduling.

If at any time you have a problem, they will be there to help you, and because the software is simple to use and you can rapidly become accustomed to it, I would strongly recommend it. The software helps a great deal with your requirements, and it keeps getting better over time. They provide excellent enterprise support and are able to construct extremely customized systems in response to customer requirements.

• Online scheduling, canceling, re-booking customers.
• Taking payments online via PayPal at the time the client books.
• Sending out sms reminders and sms confirmations so clients will not miss their event.

• The service team at Booking Bug has always been swift and professional in dealing with our queries, and our configuration and use of Booking Bug has become more efficient as a result of the team's assistance.
• Booking Bug's system of notifications, by way of confirmation emails and booking reminders, are incredibly useful for both clients and staff. Clients arrive 'prepped' with everything that they need to know/bring, and are able to easily amend/cancel appointments where previously they might have failed to attend (without notifying our clinics).
• The configuration process is very simple, and allowed us to specify complicated requirements for individual clinics. We have a range of different services, and Booking Bug easily accommodated these.

• Might be a more complex tool - needs its learning curve
• The possibility to use it as a way to provide classes or webinars in series may be a bit complicated

• Quite a few of our clients book several places per course date in one go. Their feedback is that they don't see anywhere where they can write the names of the course attendees. It's quite usual where the one who books the courses in Bookingbug is not the one attending the course. I would like to see this improved so that it's clear where the client can input the attendees' names.

Booking Bug meets the requirements of our business, and allows us greater time to do what we do best - dealing with clients and providing phenomenal service. Why would we change, when Booking Bug adapts so well to our needs, and their support team assist us so efficiently?!

It would have been 10 were it not for some feedback from clients re multiple bookings.

I tried to use few other scheduling systems before but I always thought they were somewhat incomplete, something was always missing, from design point of view to missing features. For me it's always about ease of use and how everything is organized. I can say that BookSteam got it all figured out and I recommend it

JRNI is better than Appointy in many ways like easy to use interface, time to time software updates, and real-time support.

It's the only system I've come across where courses can be added very easily. If I had 10 courses to begin with, and suddenly I needed to set up 100 or more, I can do this in a very short period of time. All redundant steps have been eliminated by the clever design.

• Customers are happy as they can book themselves online any time.
• Our staff is happy as they have their own access.

• The fact that clients can book themselves online has reduced pressure on our staff and allowed them to book out of office hours.
• Our clinic staff have more data for each client, and thus are better prepared for each appointment.
• Moving and amending appointments has significantly increased employee efficiency, allowing the team greater time to deal with other items.
• Customers are sent important information prior to their appointments, and customer satisfaction regarding the whole process is greatly improved.
