Our database is in Excel and the software will not resort the file into sack and route order. First must run through another program (which costs $50 per year) to sort.
Pros
Fully supported by USPS. Show DDU discounting
Cons
Will not resort Excel files which causes us to have to resort to another program to sort

Basic Software

Easy to use and product is good for small office or personal use.
Pros
It's very easy to use and the features are very standard to were anyone can use it.
Cons
There are a lot of features which can be implemented to cut down extra software cost and time. For example, duplicate removals are very limited within the software. Also, you are unable to household a data file. One other last thing I think it's essential is the ability for it to determine a postage cost analysis if mailed at low cost NDC/SCF rates. The built is not robust so you will have to use other software like Visiual Fox Pro, excel, etc... to help with getting what you need for your customers. I've had this software for over 10 years but I will not recommend for commercial use but only for personal use.

The ability to develop mailing lists and them correct and sort for mailing
Pros
Do you remember Windows 3.1 that's how long ago I started using Mailers4
The reason I chose Mailers4 when we started the business 35 years ago is the ability to work in a menu driven DBase program Alpha4 and use Mailers4 to process mailing lists for my customers. I am still using the same combination today.
I use Mailer4 to process all of the mailing lists we develop for our customers. Mailers4 gives me the ability to de-dupe, purge bad addressing, correct address errors and sort to the lowest postage for or customers.
Mailers4 has helped use build a business and is a valued asset. I have looked at other software and each time come back to Mailers4.
I think I remember using a Dos version of Mailer4
Cons
There could be improvement in the printing process. Specifically when dealing with correcting misprints.
It would be nice to have the ability to search for a record and print that record without have to set a range to print.

Mailers+4 is a support piece for a custom developed database that manages our ministry process of sending Bible lessons to students all across the USA. The Student Tracking Software builds mailing batch files based on our students progress through their studies. When sufficient counts are reached the batch is closed to additions and then address data is processed through Mailers for checking and presorting to postal standards. Using Mailers in the process saves us several thousands annually in reduced postage costs.
Pros
Using Mailers+4 saves the ministry money on every mailing we process.
The software is very reliable and consistent in performance and function.
Good software requires little tech support and that is true here.
Cons
I have always considered the user interface to be antiquated and behind the times in comparison to business computing with Windows and Microsoft Office that sets the standard in user friendly operation.

Using Mailers+4 has definitely increased the accuracy of our addresses, especially mailing addresses. Adoption took longer than expected, due to the complexity of configuring the product, but the end result has been a positive one for our company.
Pros
Mailers+4 allow us to validate and correct mailing and service location addresses in our system, catching invalid addresses prior to use and reducing our return mail processing. It's also very useful that both an interactive validation web service for single addresses during input and an offline/batch application for validating large sets of addresses at once.
Cons
Setup and configuration can be difficult for users new to the application. The processing time of large sets can sometimes be lengthy. Updates are sent monthly as a full installation, requiring additional time to install and license. The process of creating an extract file in the correct format, loading it into Mailers+4, reviewing results, and then producing an output file can sometimes be cumbersome.

Customer Service is #1
Reviewed on 2019/09/17
Pros
We are a small publishing company and it fulfills our needs for NCOA, sorting mail, printing labels, etc. I like being able to use the program and not worry about it. But the best part of the overall company is when I was new to the job and having difficulties, the Tech Team went above and beyond the call of duty to help me get some things fixed and some set up. PERSONATOR is a wonderful tool as well. It has been so helpful in identifying address problems before we send out mail and lose money on returns.
Cons
There are still script error "bugs" that show up when I want to do a change of address service. The tech support said it does not affect the process, but it is still disconcerting.

We have been a user of Mailers4 software for many years.

I am processing customer databases to determine final quantity and budgets before sending to print. This allows us to control the data and the sort, rather than hoping a third party gets it right.
Pros
This product is pretty easy to use. In the years of experience and millions of names processed, we have only had one major issue of truncation, and that was user error.
Cons
I feel like there are many functions that it has that I don't know how to use. Since I am not the actual final mailing house, I think it is expensive since I don't use the actual mailing portion, but cannot imagine trying to do my job without it.

Regular updates to the software are probably my least favorite thing about the software, but that's a pretty minor complaint when the software works best when it has the most recent database.
