Great Customer Service
Reviewed on 8/26/2014
Our company has been working with SME and High5 software for a little over two years.
During this time, we have also been reworking and streamlining our business processes. We have gone through a lot of growth and change.
High 5 has been very helpful and flexible with us through our growth and changes.
Amy U has been amazing in answering our questions and explaining and sometime re-explaining SME's features. She is knowledgeable and patient. There are many times that my issues and questions seem long and confusing and see is able to summarize my issue and get to the root of the problem and in some cases offer an alternative solution. Most of our employees have never used this type of system, so having Amy work with us has been more than valuable.
High 5 has been very reasonable with our requests for customizations. Mark S, Mark O and John have all helped me with multiple issues regarding custom reports or custom features. Custom reports and custom features both require a lot of communication back and forth to achieve the desired result. We can be picky customers. We strive for excellence. High 5 has always "got us we're we needed to go" on our customizations and have been professional in reasonable in regards to our feedback. They also offer their own feedback as necessary. High 5 has been a great match for our business.

Very poor customer service, Very poor follow thru from SME

Not a lot because of the very bad customer service !
Pros
The features are great. Once you learn how to navigate it becomes easier to work with.
The features is what sold me on the software
Cons
I have had this software for over 10 Yrs and they have very very bad customer service I am still waiting on the tech side of company to correct reports, that I had before they changed software versions(over Two Years ago). Lost my QB integration when it became an option and what I paid for when I first bought the software. When I purchased the software their was no training but the support staff over the phone and a 400 Page manual. Now you have to pay for the training which I was never informed of until I was talked into the upgraded software. Squeaky wheel get the customer service. So if you want to spend a lot of time having to do that then this software is for you. I Have tried to get things resolved and the same answer (I will get back to you). I am trying to run a business and don't have time for a product that is a fix on the fly software.

I have been using SME for 25 years or more starting before windows was available. Yes, used it in DOS. I like having years of records readily available. I like the ease of use in this system. I like being able to create new reports or change existing reports.
Pros
I like having most of the information needed for each customer stored all in one place.
Cons
Upgrades tend to remove features we like.
I don't like the yearly contract pricing. It is way to high for the small struggling business.

Service Management Review
Reviewed on 12/13/2021
Cannot get "buy in" due to the comfort most have with their own processes and procedures for quoting(Excel) and because of the heavy emphasis to use email communication to store important data about customers and projects.
Pros
Price. Support has always been very good.
Cons
Need Dashboards that provide meaningful information to management. Reports only reflect what is in the database but do not provide meaningful data to management. One screen that shows number of open work orders, number of closed work orders, number of contacts made by sales staff, etc. Management does not want to spend time writing reports or running reports. Real time data that helps management make decisions is a must. Need email communication to flow seamlessly into the database. Documentation is weak.

High 5 Software you can run a better service business
Pros
I use High 5 Software on a daily basis and wouldn't trade it for the world. It's the easiest and simplest way I've found to track work orders, examine proposals, and keep track of my inventory. It's a fantastic piece of software for any business, small or large.

I have no idea how we got by before H5SW, no more losing orders, trying to organize services orders, dispatching white boards on our walls. This software takes care of everything I need and more. They are always expanding in different areas of management of my company (ex: the techs being able to add notes, ass product and services and even close orders when they are done and much more) The only thing I wish was better is the Quickbooks link, but I don't think it's entirely H5SW problem but the was QB excepts their data. I have recommended this to other friends that operate companies and I get a call almost monthly that they discovered a new feature and that H5SW has made life easier. Its awsome!

Great Program
Reviewed on 8/9/2009
I have worked with SMP/SME for seven years, and have found it to serve all purposes I seek. It has all the features I need for ticketing, inventory, dispatch, sales and accounting. I like that I can synchronize it with my Quickbooks, and also the availability of the web portal. I particularly like the fact that the company is receptive to suggestions for changes and additions to the software, and has regularly followed through and incorporated my suggestions into the software. Tech support has been great too. I would recommend this software to any service company.
Pros
This is a great software package that serves all needs for a service company.
Cons
I can't think of any.

SME has proved to be a powerful tool for our security integration business. The company behind SME provides great support (better than any other software vendors I have worked with to date). The design of SME also makes it easy to implement business intelligence reporting and we've been able to extend the product to improve our business processes, both through High 5 provided modules and our own, custom, intranet reporting tools. Overall it has been a pleasure to work with and we have found that it covers most of the demands of our organization and integrates well with other systems.

Service Management Enterprise review

None. Lost money in bad software.
Pros
The demo was good. Beginning stages seems okay and I was genuinely excited about the product. That's it.
Cons
Customer service and follow through was absolutely horrible. Software implementations, not a good experience. When I complained I continually got the runaround. There is no client download and QuickBooks integration does not work well.

We have spent some time reviewing other software and found SME to provide the best value to meet our work order management and inventory needs. What wasn't in their software they were able to customize functions to meet our needs.
