User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Cloze, Inc. It's ok for personal use but for business use, it is begging to become a terrible system. We used it for 5 years and after that, we have decided to move to a different system, upon export of the information we started looking at and our database of contacts was so messed up with contacts merged together that don't belong together. So as our database was so corrupted we had to start over with new contact lists and rebuild everything again. I would not recommend this software unless you have your own IT department that can fix things themselves. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	DirectLync Girls PACT receives regular compliments on its website! The audience for our website is potential donors. DirectLync nailed it! The design is clean, modern, professional, user friendly, intuitive and really represents our brand. They gave us some great coaching and guidance as we were creating and preparing content. It was a really fun project! Incentivized Michelle Shegda Founder, Chief Operating Officer Read full review

Cons	Cloze, Inc. Not good as a comprehensive project management tool. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	DirectLync Girls PACT is located in Los Angeles. Newsletters are scheduled for PST, yet distributed on EST. It’s an odd glitch and may be a user error. Incentivized Michelle Shegda Founder, Chief Operating Officer Read full review
Support Rating	Cloze, Inc. The ONLY issue that I have is there is ZERO phone customer service or training. Everything is done online or via email, which sucks in my opinion, but they always do get back to you. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	DirectLync No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Cloze, Inc. They don't, they say they are a personal contact manager but I believe they are wanting large companies that have their own IT Departments as they don't really offer that good of support in my opinion and they do not have phone support. I wouldn't recommend this software to anyone for personal or business. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	DirectLync No answers on this topic
