Very disappointing experiences with Drake Software
I have been using Drake Software for many years now. And it's always been a pleasant experience. Customer service was excellent. And even the managers would get on the phone to help if things were more complex. However, this is NO LONGER the Drake Software of years past. For the past couple of years after the buyout, everything started slowly changing. Customer Service now is Terrible. The representatives that you get on the phone are barely trained. They don't know how to diagnose a problem. They don't even know how to trouble shoot properly. And if you ask for a manager or lead person, they tell you that someone will call you back. Well the call NEVER COMES -just empty promises!! The software now is doing some crazy things and I cannot get help. The service and product have gone downhill FAST. I am shocked! I will not be with Drake next year.
