GBHorrible company, Horrible Customer Service, Horrible Product Horrible company, horrible customer service, horrible product. I have never experienced worse customer service. The software hasn't worked for a week now and I have been back and forth over 15 times with monkeys at this company. No one has fixed the problem and they eventually just stopped responding to me. I hope every appraiser considering Datamaster reads this and decides against using them.

GBI’d give the software 4 stars but... I’d give the software 4 stars, but the value and customer service is more like 2 stars. The software works well enough, it still has some bugs however it let me do about 90% of what I want. It’s quite expensive though, over $1,000 per year and they are not even providing the data, just an import function really. The customer service was great when they were trying to sign me up but then fell off sharply. My MLS made some changes and they were quite slow to update the software even after numerous complaints. The worst part is that when I needed to cancel my service, they still charged my credit card after numerous emails, and then forced me to dispute the charges with my bank instead of issuing a timely refund. Bottom line, the software does save you lots of time, but I would look into some competitors first for better value and service.

GBI've called twice about problems with… I've called twice about problems with the way the MLS information transfers to my ACI and both times it was not helpful. Data master does not input in some of the UAD format on the grid, such as site size includes a comma (UAD format does not allow commas) and the "Effective Date of Data Source" does not include a zero for months 01 to 09. Along with a few other items, that I have to immediately fix. It would also be nice if you included the cost approach like Spark does. To be honest, once Spark is available to ACI users I may switch over. Its not only less per month but includes the cost approach.

GBpoor response times poor response times, data not being pulled consistantly, errors out too often, last "update" now it does not pick up concessions. This program is now too expensive for this type of experience.

GBDatamaster was the perfect product for… Datamaster was the perfect product for me. WAS. They rolled out a new platform and the new platform is awful. It is an awkward interface. It makes numerous errors like entering "BusyRd" for a comparable that is in the middle of a platted subdivision. That is just an example. There are many more. The old platform was simple and accurate. The new platform is a failure. Awkward interface, inflexible and makes many mistakes. I am going to try Spark or Anow software. If you are using the original DataMaster platform I envy you. But beware, the new platform will be coming for you soon. Signed, computer savvy guy
