What do you like best about Calyx?

It is easy to navigate and complete the 1003 in a logical order with very few glitches is any. It is also universal and uploads to wholesale lenders with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Calyx?

Sometimes the REO and Liability sections do not transfer over correctly to the wholesale lender. This may be due to the fact they were not associated correctly in Point or it may be a glitch that may even be worked out by now. In other words, when a point file is uploaded to a wholesale lender, sometimes the originator says that they associated all the liabilities and REOs correctly and that it didn't transfer to our system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Calyx:

I think it is great for current smaller lenders with non-proprietary software. I actually believe it is the best. I used it as a broker for years and then on the backside as a wholesale lender to brokers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Calyx solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is easy for broker and lenders to upload the file to the wholesale lender and transfers well into the system we use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Calyx?

Point is very easy to use. It loads quickly, and the screens are laid out in a way that is efficient to complete the application and generate forms. I have used it exclusively for over 17 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Calyx?

The software sometimes crashes when I am generating documents as a PDF attachment within an email - all through the print option. This doesn't happen if I just print to PDF and then manually attach that file to an email. There is something about the option that creates the PDF and email message at the same time that causes these crashes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Calyx solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Calyx Point as my loan origination software and as my basic CRM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Calyx?

What I best liked about Calyxx Point was that it was not a Web based program like Empower and was not subject to system delays with other LOS's i've worked with. The Calyxx point LOS made entering 1003 loan application information easy and seamless Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Calyx?

From my experience all pages of the 1003 loan application could not be entered on one main page. You needed to manually click through all 5 pages of the loan application to enter the required info Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Calyx solving and how is that benefiting you?

Calyxx in my experience made the process of taking loan application simpler than most other LOS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Calyx?

Point allows me to originate loans, but the system is clunky. It hasn't changed much in the 10-years I've used it. There are hundreds of forms that different lenders require. It would be nice if they were searchable. They are not. Setting up templates is time consuming. Much of the information could be pre-populated, but isn't. There are only a few options for loan origination software, so I am relegated to this or to Byte Pro or Encompass. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Calyx?

Clunky. Hard to navigate. No innovation. It is basically the same product it was 10 years ago. No training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Calyx:

Try others as well. At $10/seat, this might be the cheapest option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Calyx solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is one of the few loan origination software platforms out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has continual updates to keep up with industry standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The updates are sometimes faulty and our company has had some issues converting to the new updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Calyx solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Calyx Point to store all our customer information and to print our all necessary forms to gaining a mortgage. It has shortened the time needed to get our loan documents out to our borrowers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
