cleverbridge vs TeamUp

Cleverbridge is well-suited for big companies that have a client base and want to start online. If you have a wide range of products, and you sell worldwide--where different languages and different settings are needed for each region--then Cleverbridge is good solution. If you just want to start selling with limited stock and with couple of product types only in one region, then it's not good idea to begin with Cleverbridge.

It's great for regular, recurring signups, which would be ideal for a gym or similar organization that holds classes that customers need to sign up for. For our weekly Berkeley swims, it's perfect. Customers can pay per class, buy a "10 swim pack," or buy an annual pass. They can set it to automatically register for a certain class that happens every week, or they can just sign up individually. We set the coach for each session, which allows our staff the functionality they need, and allows customers to see who from our staff will be there.We also host large events that often have 100+ participants, including the Alcatraz Swim. If we were just doing these events we would probably be looking for another registration program that people are more familiar with. However, using TeamUp for both has worked fine.

Usability is native, but the system is complex. It has a knowledge base, but who reads that, right? So without explanation, sometimes it's hard to understand how to move and set things. But as soon as you get it, it's not a problem anymore. There are 2 major things, which keeps me from giving a higher score: 1 - Delay in time when making changes; can take up to 2 sec when opening a product, and 10 secs when saving a product update. When you do several updates, it is time consuming; 2 - A lot of settings, which also in the end becomes time consuming.

I cannot recall ever having to use customer support which I guess is a 10 because it works so well I don't need help.
