"Great for it's time, but the competition is fierce"
What do you like best about R.O. Writer?

I like that it handled data migration from Mitchel1 easily. There was no loss of customer and repair data. I was able to continue accurate KPI reporting and marketing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about R.O. Writer?

At this point, R.O. Writer is bulky to manage as I need an IT person on retainer to handle my in-shop database. There are many newer to market cloud-based shop management systems that run lean, have more features and are accessible from anywhere with an internet connection.

"RO Writer steal money from clients by over billing"
What do you like best about R.O. Writer?

There is ZERO upside to RO Writer. They over bill and then tell you they have not. They have stolen $1500 from our company! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about R.O. Writer?

Billing department is worthless. They are thieves! Sales Dept. wont help at all, neither will the tech dept.

They are all thieves and stick together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"RO Writer -Unreliable software crashes & required my staff to call tech support way to often. "
What do you like best about R.O. Writer?

Mature software that has most of the features an owner is looking for except reliability. However, its not intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about R.O. Writer?

They don't offer a Demo other than a webinar demo by a salesperson. Not intuitive. I paid, what I consider an excessive amount for training. I can't imagine anyone being able to use this program without an a large investment in training time. The way functions are performed is not consistent, my entire staff felt the same way. Unavailable tech support. Staff got tired of calling tech support so they just left machines not working and worked around down machines.

I was always worried my staff would come in to non working software. You have to rely on their tech support to do installs for new machines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Outdated, clunky and a pain to integrate with"
What do you like best about R.O. Writer?

This is a tough one to answer. It doesn't crash too often and it doesn't randomly delete data but like once a year I guess? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about R.O. Writer?

This is going to be a big list. It crashes, its an access database, it doesn't work across different operating systems so it's PC only, it won't integrate with other tools because it is an access database. It's interface is outdated and reporting is incredibly limited. You can't dive into data and there isn't a way to to search for customers based on criteria for sales data, only last name, vin or RO number. Support is slow, almost everything has to be escalated to tier 2, it isn't designed to work with most modern security and software solutions, so if you have a server you're going to spend a lot of money on your IT guy.
