OPERA Cloud

Teures Produkt mit vielen Fehlern

Kommentare: Preis/Leistung stimmt überhaupt nicht - wir würden definitiv nicht mehr zu Opera Cloud wechseln.

Vorteile:

Die Darstellung ist verständlich und es ist teilweise recht einfach Sachen einzurichten

Nachteile:

- Umlaute sind ein Fremdwort für dieses System - Reporting ist sehr schwach, man kann z.B. Mailingactioncodes hinterlegen aber damit kann man nichts machen - Man kann die gewohnte Ratenstruktur nicht aufbauen, da man die derived rates nicht mit unterschiedlichen Preisen aufgebaut werden können - Support ist einfach schwach und sehr langsam - Die Schnittstelle mit Oxi ist sehr fehleranfällig - Man versucht für alles Geld zu verrechnen und man gesteht keine eigenen Fehler ein - Bis vor ein paar Wochen, war es nicht möglich, bei deutschen Stationairies auch ein deutsches Datum zu haben, sondern das Datum blieb englisch... etc. es gäbe noch mehr Punkte

Great PMS - highly recomeded

Vorteile:

I used Oracle PMS during a span of more than 10 years. At the very beginning of my career in hospitality I started off with one of the earliest versions of Opera, which at that time was already way ahead from its pears, at a time when not many software companies cared much about hospitality applications. It was simply way above anything else available and twice better than the close competitor. For a few years, having changed companies in between I've used several PMS system, however all were really bad and difficult to use. I remember Marriott still running their PMS, which was DOS based and worked by remembering all the codes, the mouse was an optional on the PC. Having returned to Europe and another chain, Opera - Oracle PMS was there. Simply, thanks God. Took me a day to get to learn the new functionalities and I was back into the game. The newcomers in my team were trained super fast as it is a very easy PMS to learn and implement. I remember the whole team going through training sessions in one of the hotels as were were changing PMS and everyone learned the system so quickly, even managed to train a guy covering a shift (coming from a different hotel without Opera) to use it in 2 hours and spend the whole evening shift alone, it went without problems. I just simply recomend Oracle PMS to everyone in the industry.

Nachteile:

Can't fault it, top of the line. Highly recommended to everyone.

Internet loss and the cloud-based system will seriously cause trouble for front desk workers.

Kommentare: In general, this cloud-based system is world class famous among hotels communities with convenient features. However its too depended on Internet and IT staffs. Its difficult for other departments when having trouble with IT staffs not available. One of my favorite functions when using this system is that I can export reports to delimited data such as HTML, XML and excel file then I can process the data to be more neat and submit reports to managers before Night Manager runs end-of-day function to advance all transactions to the next days.

Vorteile:

My role is a receptionist so the all cashier functions are very easy for me to record payments on the software and generate accurate reports such as currency exchange, swipe and record credit card number. The rooms assignment functions are very smart help me recognize instant available rooms for guest and check all room status. The interface is also user-friendly. There are also a button directing to a tutorial page for all departments of a hotel at after-login screen.

Nachteile:

Cloud-based system is too depended on Internet and IT departments. Once Internet loss incidents happen the front desk workers such as me will have trouble with customers such as cannot finding a room for guests or issuing payment invoice if they are in a hurry . All of my tasks depend on Opera software system and must completed quickly to obtain guest satisfaction. I don't know if there is offline version anywhere but at my working place we do not have.

Get's the job done!

Kommentare: I will say that my customer service experience has improved over time with Opera and there seems to be progress in the overall functioning of the company.

Vorteile:

This software is functionally able to track many aspects of your guests stays and report on trends based on an array of criteria. It won't let you erase something that will effect reporting/future reservations so that is a very helpful safeguard.

Nachteile:

Navigation can be a bit clunky from time to time and customer service is often difficult to get ahold of, or once you get ahold of them, they often have to escalate and then it takes days to rectify a situation.

Nachteile:

- This software is a little expensive to use but also saves a lot of time and energy - Needs site training - Second level of support takes time, if the first level of support is not able to resolve issue w.r.t the software.
