HoneyBook vs. Workday Contract Lifecycle Management, powered by Evisort AI

I would recommend Honeybook to other coaches, consultants, and small business owners. It may not be appropriate for a large team's use, but works for the size of organization I currently own and manage. It also integrates with QuickBooks and makes financial data management fairly seamless.

Evisort is best when you already have all your contracts fully cleaned, designated, ordered, managed, linked, collated, titled and termed. It is not good if you expect the platform to help you go through a repository of contracts that you want the system to extract all the info you need and then you can decide easily what to keep and not etc - the sales team will tell you that the platform can do all of this. In my opinion, this isn't true.

• HoneyBook offers incredible resources to train users how to best use their system. It's informative and eye-opening to watch one of their training sessions.
• I love how easy HoneyBook makes it to create highly professional materials that are beautiful. Its brochures and selling materials are stellar and I'm able to streamline the process without feeling like I actually have to sell my capabilities.
• I'm thrilled with the billing system and how simple it is to automate. I love that I can see how my customers have engaged with the bills.
• The app helps me feel connected to my leads and data while I'm away from my computer.

• The online scheduling tool does not work with different time zones very well. It doesn't automatically adjust to my clients' timezones and it doesn't even have many international time zones as an option! I had 3 clients in a row schedule meetings at the wrong time when I first started using HoneyBook's scheduler. I had to switch to Calendly because HoneyBook's scheduling tool was causing me to lose business.
• The transaction fees for instant deposits are expensive.
• [I believe} many of the features on HoneyBook are half-baked. It's marketed as an all-in-one business management platform, but I'm still using Calendly, Google Drive, Typeform, Clockify, and ClickUp because HoneyBook's equivalent features aren't as sophisticated or as easy to use.
• The notes section for client projects does not have much space or allow for any custom formatting such as hyperlinks, bold text, highlighted text, etc. Tools such as Teamwork, Pipedrive, Asana, and ClickUp do a much better job at displaying this type of information.

Since I do not use ALL the functionality in HoneyBook, I have wondered if the plan I am on is too much. That is why I rated a 9 rather than 10. I have definitely considered downgrading but not leaving HoneyBook.

This is now a copy-paste response since this platform is asking me to answer every single question. It is such a negative experience with Honeybook that they even upset me while I'm trying to warn others of all the horrible pitfalls in working with the platform.

It is clunkier than needs to be but it's not as bad as some of the other platforms we reviewed. The interface is pretty spartan, almost like reading a page and some color and segregation could help users segregate the UI by function and task. This is pretty straight forward but doubt they would implement

They have ALWAYS been amazing when I needed any type of service or help. Their concierge service is also amazing vs other services I have used in the past. I have confidence when I ask for help - both through Chat or even on their Facebook group that I will get an answer quickly.

For all of the reasons listed above, essentially, once the platform is implemented it has its value, however, knowing what you get before implementation, might give ppl pause. The cost is a bit misleading and the sales team over promises and under delivers in my opinion. This is not cool and creates issues inevitably, down the line.

Honeybook and Dubsado have a lot of similarities. I'd say the only big difference is that Dubsado still has more advanced workflow capabilities. Dubsado also is much harder to set up. Honeybook is simpler and easier to use right from the start.

Evisort is just getting in the game. Implementation is not as robust as Coupa and Adobe is more of a contract execution platform so it is not apples to apples to compare there. Essentially, Evisort is a a somewhat cheaper solution that is not a complete solution and needs more of an upfront lift than they would suggest.
