Our company had an opportunity to save $20,000 per year by making this change. > > **Cons**: During the exploration phase of the project we found that making this change with our current job planning software that we would lose the ability to collect payment on quotes, just one of those things that they put in place to protect their investment. When i brought this hurdle to the authorize. net team they were fairly unwilling to assist us with finding alternative workflows to make it work. > > They started off fairly aggressive that they had a great solution that would save us significant money. But again when faced with hurdles and questions they were not very willing to help us work through those problems. we eventually left the platform and was left with our pre existing handling solutions that do cost more. ----- ### "Authorized to use authorize.net" — 4.0/5 > **Katrina** | *June 10, 2025* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that I am not held to a contract if it didn't work as I expected. Luckily, it works just as I need it to but that was a big factor in using authorize.net. I am glad I made that investment > > **Cons**: I think having to pay a monthly gateway fee is a con but not enough of a con to keep me from using this service. > > I feel that my overall experience with authorize.net has been positive. When I first began using this product, I needed some customer support on an issue and they were so quick to respond and they let me know that they would be available 24/7 to help with any other questions that I may have. You can't beat customer service like that. ----- ### "Safe, secure and GREAT customer support." — 5.0/5 > **Amy** | *April 8, 2026* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really love that you can search for past transactions multiple ways. Being able to print out a report for a patient for the entire year for their HSA accounts > > **Cons**: Because it is a separate program, it does not automatically add the patients information and does not automatically post to their account. > > Overall, my experience with Authorize.net has been very positive. Very rarely has there been an issue that was not resolved easily. ----- ### "Middle of the road" — 3.0/5 > **Leslie** | *March 23, 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Value for the money, security and account management is fairly straightforward. Their system is flexible for integration. > > **Cons**: The interface is outdated in many respects. They need a modernization. It hasn't changed in quite some time. ----- ### "Decent payment process option" — 5.0/5 > **Ryan** | *April 27, 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that it is backed by Visa, so there is some reliability factor with name recognition. It works consistently for payment processing. > > **Cons**: My least favorite things are that the dashboard feels clunky and not intuitive. Also, it isn't beginner-friendly compared to modern tools. > > Overall, it's a solid platform for processing payments, with a little bit of pricing complexity, and not always transparent. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/54911/authorizenet?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/54911/authorizenet) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
