RDB is easy to use as a whole, you have the option to customise the look \& feel as well as being able to hide fields that you do not use. The document templates are great for streamlining workflow processes too, with the ability to add numerous "merge fields" from client, candidate and job records, The support team are quick to respond in most cases too. > > **Cons**: Lack of in-built reporting. We have tried their "Insight" solution which worked OK at the time but was clunky to configure and building a new dashboard would take days. We have since moved our reporting to Microsoft Power BI which is absolutely incredible. The fact that RDB is SQL-based means that we can report on any aspect of the database, the result is a set of custom dashboards that we use for high-level MI, revenue tracking, placement source tracking, calls and KPI reporting, etc. The fact that it's still a desktop application is a bit of a shame in this day \& age with consultants having 30-40 windows open at times, no easy way to move to browser version without paying for expensive hosting solution \& losing access to ALL custom analytics. We would also like a GUI utility to be able to import data from Excel into RDB. More and more support calls/requests are deemed to be "custom development" work at a very high cost. > > Very good overall, some of the expensive add-on products haven't been as useful as we originally hoped but the core RDB ProNet product works very well. We are hoping to move to the browser version in the next 1-2 years which will give the database a new lease of life whilst maintaining all of the records we have built up over 12 years. ----- ### "Sophie Review" — 5.0/5 > **Sophe** | *22 July 2022* | Staffing & Recruiting | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Reporting information I was able to pull off to assess where i am > > **Cons**: the CV side of things, trying to search candidates CVs was very difficult > > It is ok ----- ### "Shocking products, terms of business and customer service" — 1.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *10 May 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: The familiarity if you’ve previously used RDB ProNet. > > **Cons**: Customer Service: 0/10. If you ever have an issue such as down time or system issues you are passed from one person to another, with no definitive answer on when the issue will be fixed. Their customer service team are rude, uninterested and do not follow up with you, even when agreed. Account Management: Liars, you get told one thing, then 2 days later they tell you something completely different, again Account Managers take 2 weeks to respond to emails, never return calls and just are uninterested in providing you with a basic level of customer experience, let alone a high level. Our Account Manager in particular is shockingly bad and rude. Service: Probably the worst of all. DO NOT USE THEIR VIRTUAL OFFICE SOLUTION. If you ever want to do work uninterrupted then do not for a second even think their virtual office will provide you with what you need. I’m talking crashes multiple times a day, 3/4 second lags between opening emails, web pages not loading. Their database is out of date, clunky, no MI or reporting. The new version looks good but consider something like Bullhorn that has been around for a while that has advanced features like LinkedIn interaction. Their normal version Has the look and feel of a a 1990’s NHS system. Pricing: Well that depends on who you are, they are considerably more expensive than other solutions, which I personally wouldn’t mind but consider the bad customer service, a rude account manager and awful product and you have an issue. > > Awful, don’t even consider changing or using RDB ProNet or using First Choice as a company. Feel free to contact me via Capterra if I can help you make the terrible decision we made. ----- ### "Functional CRM, but lacks updates and ease of modifications" — 4.0/5 > **Anelia** | *7 November 2019* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has the essential tools for a recruiter, database, searching, mailshots, notes, etc. It is relatively easy to use. > > **Cons**: There were never updates and modifications (that were promised), no customer support > > It is a standard CRM, providing a decent amount of features and it is a good starting point if you don't have a CRM. Is it the best on the market? I don't think so. ----- ### "We have been using RDB Pro Net for almost 10 years and we couldn't be happier." — 5.0/5 > **Stephen** | *5 October 2015* > > Prior to launching Purosearch we looked at a number of suppliers and we decided that to go with RDB Pro Net, because in our opinion the product looked the most impressive and the team at Firstchoice Software were the most attentive. The innovation and functionality of the product is superb, and combined with the reporting tools available I can't imagine another product coming anywhere near. Over the years Firstchoice Software have become our most important business partner and we are still delighted with the choice we made back in 2006\! ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/110208/rdb-pronet?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/110208/rdb-pronet) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | ----- ## Structured Data
