vCita has been very responsive to our needs and desires for improvement in certain areas. We have appreciated the level of support we receive when a problem arises. Our biggest gain when moving was the reliability of this product's teleconferencing integration with Zoom. …
I think only Acuity Scheduling rivals vCita. One weak point for vCita is that the others have a better link for reviews on social media and beyond than vCita.
vCita is a platform which is still developing and falls short of dedicated CRM platforms in some ways however it shines where it counts for any business wanting to provide more power to their customer to make bookings and manage their profile. Other platforms such as Insightly …
We were satisfied with TimeTrade and probably wouldn't have made the switch if we were able to integrate with our new Duda website as well as vCita does. They do not offer as many features as vCita, but for scheduling only, they work well and are very affordably priced.
Wingmate has realtime communications, which is an outstanding way that foster engagement and support CRM. Further, Wingmate has genuine contact list managing power, very stable, and makes direct communications. The demands that business have regarding the customer mapping and …
I have not used similar products, so I cannot make a real comparison. However, I can say that I will most likely not leave Wingmate in the next years. This is thanks to its ease of use and its friendly interface, which can be improved to make it even more intuitive.
Wingmate was used because the system was mostly used by sales/new business people rather than marketing people. Other products, such as HubSpot, [are] better suited for marketers but for simple lead management, pipeline management, and reporting to the wider team, Wingmate was …
It makes client communication extremely easy - we can message and schedule online appointments. Clients really like those options. We also like the online payment portal. That way clients can pay at their convenience, and we don't end up with credit card information that requires PCI compliance. It also helps with payments. It would also help with invoicing, but unfortunately, there are only 3 linked payment options (Square, Stripe, and PayPal). If you don't use one of those payment processors, you cannot link to billing.
Despite being a professional software, there is the possibility of using it also at an educational level (demo version). The ability of Wingmate to access it also on the mobile platform allows interaction among students and the teaching staff 24 hours a day. Thanks to its ease of use, it can also be used during teaching lessons and short-term simulations.
Very easy implementation of a contact/scheduling widget.
Allows for scheduling of appointments with clients. The setup is easy and the allotted times can be changed as needed. Easy for the client to use as well.
Managing communication between individual clients is easy as well.
Overall - easy to use. There are some missing features (like fillable pdf forms), and it also requires using certain credit card processors to link billing (otherwise it doesn't work).
I do miss the days when I could easily call up a rep and talk to them about any issues I had with the service. But I still do hear back from the customer service rep during the week within 24 hours.
Wingmate has all forms of support, from the online solution, where there is the chat option, very responsive, and no lining or wait time. Also, the deployment team is very accessible and concerned regarding the nature of the application and the assistance they require. Finally, Wingmate releases constant updates, and the team offers the guide on any change made.
vCita has been very responsive to our needs and desires for improvement in certain areas. We have appreciated the level of support we receive when a problem arises. Our biggest gain when moving was the reliability of this product's teleconferencing integration with Zoom. With OnCall we had trouble onboarding people, difficulty with the app they used going down, etc. We also had expectations about progress with Forms that we unmet.

The initial cost was high compared to other options but the features in the base level allowed even the smallest of business to grow into the paid version of the service.
The time saved with self service bookings and profile management for customers has been a big plus and made the purchase of the service worthwhile.
The constant improvements to the platform have been enough to continue to use the service as it develops into a competent CRM.
