    I was able to manage the business better with reporting. / Able to track members payments and feel secure about proper billing of the members.

    Pros

    I refer to Datatrak as the hub and spoke model. Datatrak is the hub and all other solutions integrate / connect and talk to it. This allows me to be competitive in the market.

    Cons

    It would be nice to be able to have more then one datatrak screen open at 1 time when configuring the system or addressing the members needs.

    Overall they were a B+. Stable software, great up-time and availability, good reporting. For our single gym the price was pretty steep and when we renewed they did not have any options. Ultimately we found a system that met our needs at a much lower cost for the software and CC fees.

    Pros

    It is a very stable platform with great reporting capabilities. It manages members and payments seamlessly. Although it should since it is the bread and butter of the software.

    Customer support was 24-7 and fantastic. Very quick to respond and very knowledgeable.

    Cons

    The stable platform is based on an older technology so customizations or changes are very difficult. Upgrades were promised based on a new browser based system but they were delayed endlessly. The browser is just a "skin" over the legacy system.
    It worked for our small 24-7 so this is not really a criticism, just a fact if you are looking for cutting edge technology.
    The monthly fees were high and they had add on fees for processing and "system maintenance" fees

    I hope they go bankrupt. This is the absolute worst company I've ever worked with

    Pros

    absolutely nothing. I hate this company with the fire of a billion white hot burning suns

    Cons

    I can't hit just one thing. It's the entire program. Constantly screwing up our memberships, not turning off fobs, I have had to completely redo accounts, call center isn't even in the United States...you get an Asian lady named "[sensitive content hidden] ".....yeah right, [sensitive content hidden] ......members are left outside due to fobs not working on current accounts, call center tells them they don't exist.

    With the busy club environment and wearing many hats ABC's technical and client management team makes the member management tasks easy.

    Pros

    The learning tools and resources for navigating the software makes training new staff effortless! As the business has evolved we have been able to configure the software to support our growing offerings.

    Cons

    In comparison to other platforms we have used we have yet to be disappointed in the capabilities of Datatrak.

    Utilized DataTrak in health club setting for membership base.

    Reviewed on 2017/11/10

    Pros

    DataTrak is extremely reliable program, there has never been a loss of data and you are informed in advance of any down time for maintenance, which is rare. The software is a bit dated aesthetically, but it functions very well. Their customer service is great. I managed a 24 hour facility and members would swipe in with their keytag. When our door stopped functioning, support was on the issue right away and extremely helpful. I've called multiple times about member issues and every time the customer service team responds quickly and always has a positive attitude.

    Cons

    The only time this software is difficult is when you're dealing with reporting. Creating or editing reports can be time consuming and is not user friendly.
