It's my CRM, it's my task manager, it handles my email marketing, keeps me informed of my team's progress; helps w/ me a/r; which has saved our company time and money in getting rid of programs no longer needed, reaching a larger client base and in staying on top of our collections. They offer regular training not just on their crm but sales trainings by their team as well as outsiders, like \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\]. They are constantly improving their system; > > **Cons**: That I can't make groups on the fly; that invoices can't reference an ad name; that we can't track when a client open's an email. however, when I come up with these instances these can either provide me with a work around or they are in the midst of solving that issue. > > I have been very satisfied w/ Magazine Manager; the program, reaching and tracking support has improved immensely; training availability and said category for training can be suited for individual needs. ----- ### "Mirabel Makes Magazines Magical" — 5.0/5 > **jan** | *20 June 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The support from the team is truly outstanding. They consistently go above and beyond, always eager to assist with any questions or challenges that arise. Their responsiveness, professionalism, and positive attitude make a significant difference and create a genuinely collaborative experience. > > **Cons**: The UI can be challenging until you become familiar with the various sections. It would be nice if the UI was a little more modern in design. > > So far I have been very impressed with the power of the platform. It handles just about everything we need to do in managing our Magazine publishing business. ----- ### "The Good, Bad & the Ugly" — 3.0/5 > **Linda** | *09 August 2020* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The positive using this software is it is easy to see Accounts payable send invoices if needed. > > **Cons**: It is not user friendly. I find this software very difficult and cumbersome to manipulate. > > I find it much more difficult that my previous database to work with when it comes to cancelling converted proposals. ----- ### "Canadian review of Magazine Manager" — 5.0/5 > **Mark** | *27 June 2025* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It handles everything for me, proposals, billing, circulation, eblasts, newsletters, marketing etc... Also, you can automate a lot of thing so it says time and is even more efficient than if I hired someone to do some of those tasks. > > **Cons**: As a Canadian publisher with multi currency we had a few glitches with billing and connecting to Quickbooks. However, \[sensitive content hidden\] have been very good at getting issues fixed and working with you to get what you need out of the software > > As mentioned before it is very extensive. Be prepared to invest some time in setting it up and learning how it works. It is quite intuitive but there is a lot. However, the payback is tremendous in time and financial savings. It is hard especially for small publishers like us but once you experience some of the features you will wonder how you did without it. ----- ### "Amazing Software and amazing support team\!" — 5.0/5 > **Leanne** | *28 February 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love Magazine Manger\! it is a very user-friendly tool for our business.
