## Reviews

### "AB review of product" — 5.0/5

> **Alec** | *17 July 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love how easy it is to use FranConnect. It allows me to view relevant data which I use to compose reports and decipher analytics to grow our operation.
> 
> **Cons**: So far, I do not have any complaints with FranConnect. At first, there was a delay with trying to figure out how to navigate, but once I figured it out, it was easy
> 
> Overall, my experience has been exceptional. I would recommend this site to anyone looking to receive high level analytics.

### "A massive sandbox for all your needs as a Franchisor" — 5.0/5

> **Ryan** | *27 June 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I like most about Franconnect is it's versatility and customizability. There is almost always a solution or efficiency that can be found which will result in making our company stronger in one way or another.
> 
> **Cons**: The same thing that makes it great is also a pain. There is SOOO much that you can build out, and it's constantly getting upgraded.  If you don't stay on top of it you will miss out on optimizations, and it's easy to run into walls if you don't fully understand how the back end is built and needs to be navigated. Their support is good, but with so many levers to check and a significant knowledge base to maintain, the solves rarely come same day.
> 
> Overall my experience with Franconnect has been positive. I always get a response when I need help and they do a great job of following up until a resolution is found.

### "Other better options" — 3.0/5

> **Kyle** | *17 September 2019* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I liked the follow up process with leads and how we could set up specific categories for buckets to organize lead flow.
> 
> **Cons**: Not much flexibility to customize the program, automate texting with the crm system emails. Some of this might have changed now since I switched to zoho.
> 
> I think there were certain things I liked about franconnect but I think zoho is much more user friendly

### "Fran Review" — 5.0/5

> **Annahlise** | *9 December 2025* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Task Management&#10;Value for money&#10;Customer Support for admin side &#10;Training Videos &#10;Report Pulling Function
> 
> **Cons**: User Interface &#10;The mobile app is hard to use &#10;Sometimes there is lagging from mobile app&#10;No text message alerts
> 
> I would say overall it is good, but would like to see more upgrades and improvements. Especially the app.

### "Helps keep our team organized, all in one place" — 4.0/5

> **Zoraida** | *24 June 2025* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Our team likes how customizable the modules are and how easy it is to reach out to support when you're in a jam or just aren't sure where to go, what to do or how to find something. Their support team is very friendly and great with follow ups.
> 
> **Cons**: We find it's a little challenging to navigate and use. Not super user friendly for folks who have a) never used a platform like it and/or b) are used to simpler dashboards and programs (our team is very much G-Suite users where we feel FranConnect is reminiscent of Microsoft).
> 
> Overall, using FranConnect for our needs has definitely been a learning curve for our team. We still frequently reach out to the support team for help, when needed. However, once everything was finally set up and we had a good foundation in place, it lead to a much more structured and organized way to access important information for our business, all in one place, by both internal corporate and external franchise users, if we so choose to. There are also a number of additional modules we can always look into in the future as our business grows and evolves, which is reassuring.
