## Reviews

### "Ease of emailing with NOVA" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *18 December 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Being able to load a large list and schedule emails all at one time
> 
> **Cons**: It was glitchy at times, and it sometimes sent an email that was already sent

-----

### "Awesome Service" — 5.0/5

> **Connie** | *28 January 2021* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: All of our information in one place.  Do not have to go between systems to dispach, invoice or pay vendors.  It is a one stop shop that more than meets all of our needs\!\!\!\!
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing really, if I am having a problem with something, I just call support and ALL of the issues are handled quickly.
> 
> Overall experience has been Excellent\!\!\!\!  Great customer support, open to ideas and suggestions from customers.

### "Many Transportation Requirements Not Featured" — 3.0/5

> **SUSAN** | *1 November 2019* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The professionalism of the support team.  Always cordial and a sincere desire to help.
> 
> **Cons**: The software does not alert you when a driver has an upcoming expiration; cdl, medical certificate, annual review.  The maintenance section does not have any alerts for upcoming service, annual inspections, tag renewal.  &#10;Also, the maintenance section has very limited search capabilities.  It will not let you search by VIN \#'s or by Tag \#'s.  This is a huge disadvantage.

### "Aurora Software" — 4.0/5

> **Tawnia** | *22 October 2019* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: That it could be customized to fit our industry needs.
> 
> **Cons**: The change over from our old software to the new software was a bit challenging as a user.  Also we are not extremely compatible with Quick Books and it currently forces us to re-enter a lot of information.
> 
> The people have been great to work with.  They have guided us along the process of building our customized software needed to operate our business model.

### "Excellent Customer Service and features" — 4.0/5

> **Kimberly** | *11 November 2019* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Users can play with this software without fear of messing anything up and tailor it to your needs for the most part.  Customer service is wonderful, as always, and they are willing to help with anything from the simplest question to implementing new features.  It's pretty intuitive... if you feel like you SHOULD be able to do something, more often than not that is how the software is set up to use.  Dragging and dropping, right clicking for menus.  Color coding and system messages are all so useful with NOVA.  Lots of helpful reports for every department.
> 
> **Cons**: In regards to the NOVA software, the help file is painfully out of date, that is,  if there's any info on the specific feature at all and not just a blank page.  I would rather be able to look up and do something myself than feel the need to call CS every time.  New, useful features are added without letting us know.  Sometimes it's like a bitter-sweet surprise discovering something "new" only to find out it's been there for months.  Still pretty buggy in spots.  Updates can cause downtime, but not for long.
> 
> For the most part it's really great software, and when there is something wrong Aurora will be there to fix it ASAP. They make you feel like a customer and not just a number.  I feel that is the most important thing.  Having help when you need it instead of being transferred around and sitting on hold forever.  You can overlook the small faults if you know they're on top of it right away.
