Plus pulling reports is so easy and I can adjust to pull the exact data I need. > > **Cons**: I wish I could get email notifications when I get a new request and sometimes a new request does not show up in my current notification report. > > My overall experience has been a good one. We transitioned over from a different system during a tumultuous work time, and I was able to learn the system and keep our event management working. ----- ### "User-friendly compared to other systems but missing features" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *5 June 2018* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: At this time, I am able to complete everything I need with EMS (specifically Web Client EMS). You can customize your reports and easily schedule events. You can also add as much or as little detail as you need. > > **Cons**: Customer Service has not been easy to work with (at least for us as Web based clients) and usually can not fix our issues. We have to fix them ourselves. ----- ### "EMS, understanding" — 4.0/5 > **Ricardo** | *8 January 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: EMS is a great tool. The more one understands the product the more it can do. The training has made our area even better. > > **Cons**: not sure at this time. We will continue to work with the staff to find what works best for us. > > We use EMS for all our events and will soon add some digital signage that connects to EMS. ----- ### "JMU's experience with EMS" — 5.0/5 > **Sue** | *23 September 2024* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The granularity of being able to allow many schedulers throughout campus to schedule their own spaces. > > **Cons**: Customer support when they moved from phone calls to online tickets. > > We've been using EMS since 2012 and have been very pleased with the product. It's used throughout our campus and we have about 95% of our spaces in EMS (vehicles, outdoor spaces, promotional spaces, info tables, etc). ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/324945/ems?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/324945/ems) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
