Considered Both Products	Clover BW Blake Wilson Integrations specialist Chose Clover None are available on the list. Clover competes with HotSauce, Paradise, Poynt, and many more POS systems. We easily sell Clover more than anything else and everyone loves it. It's easily one of the best products I've seen since I have been in integrations. The sales managers … Incentivized Helpful? Robert Ford Retail Operations Manager Chose Clover We chose Clover without doing extensive research in other offerings. It seemed to meet all of our needs and was used extensively in other retailers. Other processing systems were limited in functions and back-office management. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Clover NONE Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Clover Clover has just the right combination of affordability with extra features and flexibility that isn't offered by some cheaper options. Clover is flexible enough to allow integration with Shopify and other useful retail technologies, as well as integrating with many payment … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Clover While both of them get the job done, Clover is far easier to use than Aldelo. It actually feels like a POS system meant for the 21-century smartphone era while Aldelo feels a little deprecated. Clover is also far more affordable than Aldelo. It also looks better aesthetically. Incentivized Helpful? Ashley Beal Senior Office Administrator Chose Clover We have not used anything like Clover before. Incentivized Helpful? Ben Flemming Director of Human Resources Chose Clover Of the few other companies we had the option to use, BluePay's fee structure is the best for our business. Even though PayPal is ubiquitous and we still accept donations through PayPal at times, we got better rates through BLuePay and much easier transaction settlement. Incentivized Helpful? Kirsten Rodriguez Safety Chose Clover Clover is great because they have their own equipment, but it would be nice to make it more mobile and use it on an app from anywhere. Sometimes we go to events and have to use Square, which is another great option. For small businesses I would definitely recommend using … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Clover Retail Pro is a perfect of example of a full featured POS system that can do lots of things right. Unfortunately to deploy Retail Pro will require a project team and skilled consultants who will happily bill you for the time spent on the project. You will also only use a small … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Clover We initially chose BluePay because they had purchased the company that we used for our online payment processing and sales applications.

MicroBiz Dave Vandenberg Manager IT Chose MicroBiz We looked at several systems. Some POS vendors had really bad reviews (Revel). Others had systems more suitable for other types of retailers such as kioks and quickserve (Square). Some were too complicated or more focused on foreign markets or ecommerce. We took a hard look … Incentivized Helpful? Mike Pinzle IT Manager Chose MicroBiz It was close but we just liked some of the features in microbiz better. Plus it was cheaper Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Clover	MicroBiz
Likelihood to Recommend	Clover is well suited for high-volume environments where quality and dependability are paramount. The hardware can scale easily and always looks good on the counter. I have even seen Clover hardware used in small mom-and-pop type stores. The ability to swing the monitor around for signature is really nice. Customers appreciate the ease of use. The stations we have to use nice large bright screens. Not familiar enough with the Clover product line to know if the smaller screen sizes are available for applications where space is a concern. Incentivized GJ Glenn Johnson CIO (Chief Information Officer) Read full review	Great for retail stores that want to manage inventory. Great for stores that want to have different prices for different types of customers. Mike Pinzle IT Manager Read full review
Pros	Clover has an excellent POS system with several add-on pieces of equipment available. Many many features to fit all business needs Very easy to use, and even has an online login where you can edit inventory and settings, as well as get real time reports Inventory control, offline mode, and customer information storage are also wonderful tools to help you keep up with your business Reports! The reports are great!! Incentivized Kirsten Rodriguez Safety Read full review	Ring up transactions and take payments Manage inventory Management Reporting Discounts and promotions Mike Pinzle IT Manager Read full review
Cons	Focus functionality on retail use and not broad based with focus on food services Build a turn table into the countertop unit so both the employee and customer can use the tablet Offer color choices in units (white is not always friendly with long term use) Incentivized Robert Ford Retail Operations Manager Read full review	Missing a couple helpful features (such as a free loyalty program) The formatting on some screens is whacky and the font can be small It could be easier to email receipts (need to set this before the transaction) Incentivized Dave Vandenberg Manager IT Read full review
Usability	There are numerous aspects to Clover's usability: the usability of their point of sale systems, the usability of their CRM and web dashboards, and the technical side of integrating with other third-party services. All are top tier. Clover's usability is excellent and I have never had a problem figuring out how to use their services at any level. The POS system has a very low barrier to entry and an easy learning curve for newcomers. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	We didn't have any significant complaints about their support. As we transitioned out of BluePay to a new provider that partnered with our new CRM, they were able to help with that transition. However, it was a little slower than we'd have liked. Incentivized Ben Flemming Director of Human Resources Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	We initially chose BluePay because they had purchased the company that we used for our online payment processing and sales applications. To remain with our previous provider would have required costly updates but BluePay was fully integrated and allowed for a very smooth transition with little to no disruption for our employees or customers. After making the switch, we were so glad that we did. Our account rep has been so helpful and responsive, even going to the level of creating and scheduling custom reports to allow our users to do their jobs more easily and efficiently. We've also been pleased to see our overall fees/interchange go down from what we were charged by our previous providers. Overall, we have been very pleased with the service and services provided. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	We looked at several systems. Some POS vendors had really bad reviews (Revel). Others had systems more suitable for other types of retailers such as kioks and quickserve (Square). Some were too complicated or more focused on foreign markets or ecommerce. We took a hard look at Lightspeed, but just liked MicroBiz better (was also cheaper). Incentivized Dave Vandenberg Manager IT Read full review
Return on Investment	The system usually never has any technical problems. A few times, Clover servers have gone down, in which case, you are unable to do any transaction. The system is easy and fast so our customers don't have to wait long for payment. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Really amazing value for the monthly fees. Less expensive than other serious cloud POS applications Synch with QBO allows us to save time manually entering financial data into our accounting system Bar code scanning in both the front end and back end saves time and money Incentivized Dave Vandenberg Manager IT Read full review
