## Reviews

### "Important Software for Brewery" — 5.0/5

> **Chris** | *01 September 2023* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Tracking production, inventory, sales and invoices.
> 
> **Cons**: Reporting customization -- can get it, but usually have to call customer service (who are great.)
> 
> We don't use all the features but what we do use works very well for us.

### "Beneficial to a small brewery" — 4.0/5

> **Megan** | *22 August 2023* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ekos makes it easy to see multiple facets of the operation without relying on spreadsheets that are difficult to keep in sync. Line of sight to yields and costs is worth it\!
> 
> **Cons**: It can be difficult to find a report that pulls the information required when looking for something specific but the customer service is outstanding. A quick phone call or chat and the needed report is created.

-----

### "Try another software option" — 1.0/5

> **Justin** | *06 November 2021* | Wine & Spirits | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It seemed like a good idea, I like to support new ventures
> 
> **Cons**: They had a good Idea but based the winery software to closely on making beer.  There is a lack of reality on how information is entered and their focus on the order of entry does not always equal the reality of what you are doing.  Software is not user friendly or intuitive.  Also not easy to use on the fly when you are hard at work on your press pad or wine cellar.  Poor customer service and implementation.  I would call with questions and the answer was always I was making my wine in the wrong order or watch the video on a topic.  When you are in a hurry having a question answered takes a lot less time than watching a video.
> 
> terrible and over priced for the quality of the product

-----

### "Highly Recommend" — 5.0/5

> **Daniel** | *26 August 2019* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Their customer support is quick, friendly, and helpful (despite what others have said on this page).  The features are never ending, therefore it may take a person quite some time to learn.  Don't fret.  I've been using the software daily for over 2 1/2 years and I'm still learning things.  Anytime I have an issue, I just reach out to their support staff who returns my email in an hour or less typically.  The best way to get a valuable response is to thoroughly describe your question or issue and include screen shots.  They will almost always be able to figure out the issue immediately.
> 
> **Cons**: Because the software is constantly evolving and improving there can be some bugs that are challenging to work around.  These issues can easily be solved by contacting Ekos Support, however.
> 
> Ekos is a constantly evolving, growing, and improving software that only gets better.  I can't recommend them enough.

> 
> Ekos allows us to more accurately keep track of product inventory, invoicing, sales trends and so much more\! I don't know what I would do without it\!
