### "LIGHTYEAR" — 5.0/5

> **DAVID** | *30 July 2020* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I LIKE THE EASE OF USE-YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A COMPUTER EXPERT TO USE THE SYSTEM AND PERFORM BASIC TASKS
> 
> **Cons**: WELL COMING FROM REYNOLDS FOR ABOUT 9 YEARS IT WAS A DEFINITE SWITCH OF USER HABITS AND SOME  REPORTS WERE NOT AS THOROUGH AS THE REYNOLDS REPORTS BUT REYNOLDS WAS A LITTLE HARDER TO USE UNTIL YOU GOT USED TO THE SYSTEM
> 
> IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A LEARNING EXPERIENCE AND WHEN WE 1ST GOT THE SYSTEM IN 2009 THERE WERE ALOT OF NICHE'S WITH THE SYSTEM BUT IT TOOK ABOUT 2 YEARS TO GET SOME OF THE THINGS FIXED BUT ONCE AGAIN WE HAD REYNOLDS BEFORE SO WHAT WE WERE EXPECTING WAS PROBABLY HIGH EXPECTATIONS BUT IN THE LAST FEW YEARS WE HAVE HAD LITTLE OR NO ISSUES WITH THE SYSTEM

### "Very poor DMS. A lot of bugs" — 1.0/5

> **Michael** | *30 May 2018* | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: There really isn't a whole lot to like here. You won't save enough money on this to ever make it worth while.
> 
> **Cons**: The list is extensive. The software doesn't work all the time and there are a bunch of ticks that you will have to deal with. Any other software is better than this.
> 
> No benefits, lots of headaches.

### "PALMIERO SERVICE MANAGER" — 4.0/5

> **Darla** | *11 August 2020* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of using several windows at a time.  You don't have to get out of something to see something else.
> 
> **Cons**: There are a couple glitches about seeing history when your in the process of write up with an internal ro.  Also that the information doesn't combine to the customer history when one is wrote up as internal and another wrote up as customer once the vehicle is sold.  There seems to be blocks that doesn't allow it to merge.
> 
> Was very easy to learn it.  Has been great getting help with any type of issue.  They stand behind their product very well.

> **CAITLIN** | *30 July 2020* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of pulling reports, DB dashboard, and the ability to edit

> **Cons**: Sometimes hindered by small problems that could be solved a couple tweaks at time
> 
> Pretty good
