Overall Satisfaction with vCita
vCita was originally used as an appointment booking service for my computer training business. It was very good for allowing customers to book an appointment online without having to call me back and forth until we found a time that worked for us. Initially, this saved me a lot of time and allowed me to prepare better for training sessions and the customer had an opportunity to put the nature of the lesson in the request. As time went by, more features were added to the platform allowing me to take payments, store documents and increase my interaction which resulted in more repeat business. Now I am using vCita as a support service in addition to the initial use of appointment bookings. Customers can make initial contact with their issue and request a solution at a time that I can help them best. It is a win-win for both parties. I can see the potential to build a strong customer base with the marketing features as vCita continues to develop.
- Great for online appointment bookings.
- Good for taking payments.
- Good for onboarding new clients.
- Integrates with your website.
- Integrates with Facebook Pages.
- Expensive for the features you get.
- Some features appear disjointed.
- Not a complete system yet.
- The initial cost was high compared to other options but the features in the base level allowed even the smallest of business to grow into the paid version of the service.
- The time saved with self service bookings and profile management for customers has been a big plus and made the purchase of the service worthwhile.
- The constant improvements to the platform have been enough to continue to use the service as it develops into a competent CRM.
vCita is a platform which is still developing and falls short of dedicated CRM platforms in some ways however it shines where it counts for any business wanting to provide more power to their customer to make bookings and manage their profile. Other platforms such as Insightly are cheaper and easy to use but involve more effort from you and there is little or no automation to assist you. Zoho and similar platforms are a more complete solution for customer relationship however there is a harder learning curve and can prove more expensive as you add more features better suited to larger organisations.
