What do you like best about iQmetrix?

It's simple and easy to use and train new employees on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iQmetrix?

My company doesn't give full access to all it's reporting or uses. But with all the features available to me, I would like more features on reporting for searches to drill down to more specific items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It pulls real time reporting to show sales up to the exact moment and allows me to deep dive into sales down to a rep level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iQmetrix?

The UI is perfect. Everything is exactly where I expect it to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iQmetrix?

At times it can freeze up and cause issues for us. For example, if it freezes up during an inventory scan of the store, that can cause us to have a delayed opening. We can't open until our scans have been completed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iQmetrix:

Make sure the computer you're using it on is relatively well-specced. Most of ours are limited with Intel Core i3s and only 4GB of RAM. The lack of RAM seems to cause the biggest performance hit on machines running RQ. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The only big issues I have are the ones I mentioned prior: freezing up. The big benefits have been ease of use and fairly easy troubleshooting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

RQ helps us process transactions and let’s us see the commission we get for each transaction. It also lets us help customers who pay with cash and helps up monitor inventory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
