## Reviews

### "27 Years and Counting" — 5.0/5

> **Caryn** | *3 April 2025* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Having a support desk that’s not only quick to assist but also involves knowledgeable developers when necessary is a significant plus, especially for an organization with complex, long-term software usage. It really underscores their role as a business partner, rather than just a vendor, which has contributed to a 27-year relationship. This type of continuity and reliability is rare and seems to have built a strong foundation of trust.
The addition of the integrated e-commerce system, particularly the ability to set up new promotional landing pages quickly, created excitement in meeting our marketing goals.
> 
> **Cons**: The cost and length of time to do an upgrade.
> 
> AdvantageCS has built a strong and dependable partnership with our company over the years. The software’s adaptability to our changing ownership structures and its ongoing updates support evolving business needs, both in physical and digital products.
