Has anyone here had any experience with eBridge web store integration?

We have one customer implementing it and it has gone much less than stellar.

Agree with @DawnAnastasi, only worse. My client would call me on a regular basis to complain and rant about the problems that they were having. I've mentioned before, but #eBridge was a major contributing factor in their decision to drop MAS for #Quickbooks.

My comment about ""less than stellar"" was actually being VERY polite. We would also get emails about how behind schedule the project was, and how eBridge didn't understand what they wanted, and then wanted to charge more for things that should have been in the original understanding. Fortunately, we didn't recommend eBridge, the client took it upon themselves. We actually wound up writing some SQL code to ""fix"" something that eBridge did that the customer was furious about. (Okay, so now I've let it all out in a not-so-polite manner. Better?)

@DawnAnastasi , @AaronClark - thank you for the warnings!

We had nothing but problems with eBridge on 3 different occasisions, particularly with them meeting dates.

We should start a 90 Minds preferred vendor list -- with some type of rating from 4 to zero stars. Internal only.

As long as ratings can be backed up by experience. If you don't like the owner(s), no fair rating them zero if you've never used them.

@ThereseLogeais It seems that in a (reliable) group like this, the risk of rating a vendor based on a petty bias is relatively low...or is my thinking too Pollyanna?

You're probably right @BrianRice but personally, there are a few vendors I wouldn't recommend although I've not used their services. So if I rated them badly and others have had success with them, I'd go with those who have had success. My bias is simply personal.

There's usually some type of reasoning behind not liking a vendor. For example one vendor who is also a master developer has , in my opinion, aggressively used their status as a developer to urge customers to ROR to their firm. While there is nothing wrong with this -- I don't like it and I think it's extremely bad practice and if I were to know in advance I would avoid a developer like that.

Yep, that would be one of my reasons too @WayneSchulz.

So getting back to Wayne's Preferred Vendor list, I think it would be interesting to see how my thoughts about a particular vendor might compare to others. Would they be validated or totally turned upside down?

My money is on validated. **
