Unparalleled Customer Support
Comments: I've never been so impressed by a customer support team and we use *a lot* of SaaS products. By the time we reached out to Optix, we were so jaded and annoyed by SaaS product teams that we expected more of the same. We couldn't have been more shocked, pleased, and grateful to find something very different. The whole Optix team - from account managers to customer support to developers - has been a true dream to work with. So thankful we found them!
Pros:
The Optix development team cares deeply about not just the user functionality but also how it feels for admins (their customers) to use the backend. They've kept the interface clean and easy to navigate, while also thinking through intricacies of a space booking model that really help to set you up for success.
Cons:
Almost nothing - if anything, just small things that are specific to our needs like allowing for our own customer service tools (we use Crisp) instead of routing users to a general "Contact Admin" inbox that we too easily miss messages from. But what's great about Optix is that you can ask them for these features and they genuinely either consider adding them or help you find a way forward that works better for your needs.

Thanks You Optix
Comments: Overall, I love Optix. I appreciate having a dedicated specialist available to assist with any questions about the software. I am also grateful for the seamless integration of Optics into our daily operations.
Pros:
I appreciate that Optix provides a centralized platform for billing and communication between clients, promoting a seamless experience.
Cons:
I wish there was a way to allow us the option of carrying over hours or tokens for our clients. We wanted to change our business model, but the fact that ours does not allow rollover made it impossible to do so. We are OK with sticking to the current model, but if that feature does become available, it would be cool to see how it impacts our business.

Thank YOU, Nia, for your review! We really appreciate it and are happy to hear we're powering a seamless experience for your clients. We value your partnership and feedback on how we can continue to improve the platform to better align with your business!
Decent for what it's worth
Pros:
I like the multiple functions. Being able to keep track of plans, schedules, invoices and contact info. Decent for a start-up.
Cons:
It's terrible at displaying schedule information on a calendar. The calendar can function much better than how it is
There is NO competition.
Comments: 'Turn it up to 11'.
Pros:
Its impossible to say what I like most about Optix. If I had to pick one thing: its the manner in which the Optix team approaches problems. They understand what good problem solving looks like and they know good Design by heart. There is no competition out there. If you are unsure who to go with, just try Optix. We have tried every other tool out there.
Cons:
My only gripe ever with Optix is that initially I wanted to see the UI of the product before I committed. They wouldn't allow this which I do understand. At the time I was very frustrated by this. I ultimately took the leap of faith and decided to sign up. SO glad that I did.

Thank you for your review, Dustin! We appreciate your continued partnership and are grateful to work with you and your team.
I am sure its great for the right use
Comments: The staff were great and support team always ready to help! The on-boarding process was smooth and I could see myself using the app if I had a straight up coworking space
Pros:
Visually more minimal made it easier to read and use. I think the location based check in process is genius for coworking spaces.
Cons:
It simply was not quite what I needed for my business. We are partly a coworking space but our primary service is a daycare so ultimately we need an app made for a daycare, we were not utilize any of the great coworking options through Optix
