HoneyBook

Vorteile

Honeybook streamlines your process into an easy to use system, once the initial set up, from questionnaires to Invoices and Contracts you have all the tools you need to manage your projects. The desktop and mobile app add flexibility to what you can do with your business at home, in the office, or on the go.

Nachteile

The setup process is a bit tricky and unless you have familiarized yourself with template creation, pay someone to build your templates, or find a premade on to edit to work for your needs it is a bit overwhelming if you have no experience at all with creating online templates or websites.

Vorteile

I have been using HoneyBook for my event planning business, and it has truly transformed the way I manage my events. The platform's ease of use for both business and customers is exceptional. It simplifies the process of keeping all event details in one place and ensures everything is organized on the calendar. The amazing capabilities of HoneyBook have made my life so much easier, allowing me to focus on delivering exceptional service to my clients. I highly recommend HoneyBook for any business looking to streamline their event management process.

Nachteile

Nothing, the application is fantastic!! I am so glad we have this amazing tool for our business!

Vorteile

The complete set up of contracts, invoices and legal portions was so quick and easy. Now we don't have to struggle with creating new proposals with each client. The auto population of products previously used is a huge time saver and makes it really easy for new employees to get the right price with the right product.

Nachteile

The only thing I would like to see, and truly, I haven't asked, so it may even be there already; the monthly report of income shows the total of all contracts that came in during the month. We only collect a deposit from each. We would like to see the income report reflect just the deposit total of the month for our accounting purposes.

Vorteile

The look and feel of the app is very clean, love the ability to add images and customize the look and feel of contracts, flyers, brochures and more. Adding a custom form field to our website was easy to do. Automation feature seems nice, but we didn't really use it.

Nachteile

In contracts the most frustrating thing is that you can only add line items at the very bottom of the invoice. That means if you have a very long invoice and want to add a line to the top of the page, you have to add a line at the bottom and drag it all the way up to the top ( which is extremely tedious ). It wastes so much time that it made me wonder if we wasted more time trying to use this clunky app than just doing things the way we were used to in excel!

Vorteile

I like that I can use it in several ways. From making brochures to invoicing, to contracts. Everything is in one place.

Nachteile

I would like the ability to chose the date of expiration, versus week to week.

Vorteile

Too many things to list! You can create, customize, and assign workflows to every project. It links to your calendar so everything is there at a glance, even brand new inquiries! You can create so many templates to save yourself time and energy by not rewriting the same thing with every project. Your contracts and invoicing are all in one place for the client to easily access. It also links with your Quickbooks account!

Nachteile

Some features could use a bit of refining. My main concern is that the signature lines on contracts aren't customizable, and for someone operating an LLC, we need to be able to add a title next to our name so that we are signing on behalf of the company, rather than personally as ourselves.

I would also love to see better integration with Quickbooks. I regularly have to go in to QB and manually edit the tax rate for each project so that it will categorize properly. I also have had regular issues with tax being calculated/rounded differently for HB vs QB so that they show $0.01 balance still due in QB after a project is paid in full via HB.

Vorteile

Gives me all the functionality of client relations in one spot.

Nachteile

Doesn't notify me when clients select services from my brochure to get more information about.

Vorteile

HoneyBook allows me to keep track of everything in one place, and I mean everything!

Nachteile

Initially there was no integration with Microsoft Outlook but this has now been fixed!!

Vorteile

I do event consulting on the side, while maintaining a full-time job. I needed a software platform that enabled me to look professional with my clients, while not being a huge time sink. Luckily I found HoneyBook which allows me to organize my projects and provide professional and gorgeous proposals to my clients. I couldn't be so efficient without HoneyBook!

Nachteile

Contracts and payments could be a little bit smoother but these are minor complaints for how helpful HoneyBook is

Vorteile

It is easy and (dare I say it?) fun! Easy, guided templates for emails, brochures, contracts, and workflows keep my company moving forward!

Nachteile

That I don't get alerts via email when tasks are due and that I can not delete the sample templates

Vorteile

My favorite features are proposals and contracts, being connected it's easier for the client to read everything.

Nachteile

I wish there was a better way to integrate old clients.

Vorteile

I like the calendars, invoices, contracts, etc.

Nachteile

When scheduling, I think it needs to list common holidays on calendars, not random ones, the ones that count :) Also, in batch emails, I haven't figured out how to send to the same batch again. So, I end up making a new one every time.

Vorteile

Like the title of my review says, the fact that I can keep all client information in one place! It makes it so easy to keep track of contract changes and it's easy to navigate!

Nachteile

It was a learning curve, but I think that was also part of never having used a software like this before.

Vorteile

Ease of use and the ability to streamline our workflow.

Nachteile

Doesn't have everything that we need - we have to have another software program for building a floral quote.

Vorteile

Honeybook is great for vendors to communicate in one large group forum! It is nice to be able to share proposals, estimates, etc and be able to comment on them!

Nachteile

What I don't love is that you have to be able to be the "allowed" vendor to access​ certain proposals. Being a planner and being CC'd on all emails is great but with honeybook you can only give access to certain people which is limited.
