This software helped us save a substantial amount of money on our website and advertising cost. It also has a built in CRM which allowed us to combine two different software platforms into one, reducing cost even further.
Pros
DCS does 95% of what our old software did but costs much less. It's a tremendous value and the customer service is excellent.
Cons
Has a few quirks. Doesn't have quite as many features and not as much customization as some of the competition.

It seems to be the best bang for your buck. There are other products out there that do the same thing, but are not as widely used so the search results returned are not as apparent.
Pros
It is very user friendly. When posting new inventory, it walks you through the steps so that you do not forget anything. Uploading existing photos is easy. The app is very user friendly.
Cons
I tried to make a sold vehicle active again and the steps to do so were not clear to me. I had to call customer support and they walked me through the process. When I have to do it again, I will probably have to call again because it is not a clear process to me. The integrations are helpful, but they need a little work as to customizing what you want to see on FB or Craigslist.

There isn't a perfect system but this was a terrible choice. I ended up switching back to dealer center and am still paying dealer car seach until my contract is up in March. I had no other option as it was costing my money not having my cars post. I think they need a few more years to work out all the kinks before offering this as a CRM as well. An example... You can't send/ receive pictures from customers in the CRM.
Pros
I was referred to them by Frazer and I didn't find and I didn't find any bad reviews. The problem is it has a strange back end that kept blocking stock numbers so I could never be sure my cars were being posted. If I sell them they do not always come down either. I switched to dealer center and still have the same problem.
Cons
They required a contract which I thought was strange but I really didn't think I would switch my CRM and Website with in a year so I signed up. I have had nothing but problems since. The inventory management is terrible it will not seamlessly integrate with Frazer or dealer center. I have about 98 cars in inventory and I never know what is posted and not. The customer service is terrible. You spend hours on the phone and it is always the other systems fault but they manage to "fix" it.

Pros
The cost is much less than the competition but offers many of the same features. You have the ability to choose upgrades but only if you need/want them. East to use backend and great customer service.
Cons
Doesn't have as many features compared with more expensive options, but still not bad for the price. Customizing the website is limited because they are made from templates and not one-off.

I can upload all my inventory and it'll export it to all the authorized sites I have assigned with them.
Pros
We love this product, because once I upload the vin number of our inventory. Once it decodes the vin number, it'll upload the make, model, trim level and equipment. And once you upload the pictures of the vehicle, we your permission the system will export all your vehicles to your website and your other authorized advertisement sites.
Cons
Sometimes it decodes the vin number of a vehicle we input incorrectly. So, we have to make sure that we display it correctly, with the right vehicle model trim level. And I wish that when it decodes the vin number, I'd have to really make sure the correct equipment is checked off. Other than that, it's a very dependable system.
