We have had success with our auctions which have run seamlessly. The public facing 'front end' appears slick and easy for clients to use and understand and our staff have found the 'back end' process of uploading the lots simple and straightforward. > > **Cons**: There have been a few areas which did not immediately align with our practices, for example, sequential invoice numbering but the IRostrum team were happy and reactive to working with us to find a system that worked for us. > > We have been incredibly well supported by the IRostrum team throughout the process and they continue to offer support with each auction, should we need it. They have been very quick to respond to queries and provide solutions. Really excellent customer support. ----- ### "Charity auction" — 4.0/5 > **Irene** | *3 October 2024* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was very easy to set up and user friendly for the people bidding. Also, we could tailor it to our needs and our branding. > > **Cons**: Some functionalities were not available yet, like the exports to excel. It would also be desirable to be able to export the whole history of each of the auctions. > > We needed a user-friendly solution for running a charity auction for our employees before moving offices. iRostrum was a great option as it was easy to setup and use, but also because the support team was by our side in every step of the process. ----- ### "10/10 for Customer Support" — 5.0/5 > **Brittany** | *23 June 2026* | Wine & Spirits | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The customer support is excellent. Everyone I've worked with thus far has been very quick to respond and has help resolve issues completely, explain answers thoroughly, and act fast on requests for help with changes needed etc. They are also friendly and easy to communicate with. Marijke in particular has been 10/10\! > > **Cons**: I've not yet come upon any true issues with the platform. One thing I'd say that would be useful is if there was a way to automatically alphabetise the producers so we don't have to do it manually when adding new ones in, but it's not a huge inconvenience. > > Really positive, its an easy to use platform that has everything you need and the team is very helpful. ----- ### "Excellent softweare for online auctions, adaptability for other languages can be improved" — 3.0/5 > **Andrea** | *18 July 2022* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: fast and efficient customer service. Ease of use for administrators and users > > **Cons**: limited customisation possibilities for other languages and regulations of other countries ----- ### "iRostrum is great to work with\!" — 5.0/5 > **Meredith** | *22 May 2026* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Customer Support -iRostrum's support team stayed engaged with us as we launched our first auction, whenever there was a hiccup (and there were) they were quick to help resolve. Value for Money - The fee structure at iRostrum works well with our business model. We were able to present a well design platform that meshed our branding well without having the pay for many extras we did not need. Bidding Process - With iRostrum the pre-bidding and live bidding process was incredibly smooth, it provided us with more data than many competitors and gave us insight into bidder behavior. > > **Cons**: Since it was our first auction with iRostrum there were some growing pains while getting set up. Sometimes the route to get were we wanted to go would take a while but we always got there. In the live bidding environment, since the bids are 'auto accept' rather than 'click to accept' and there is not currently a button to push the iRostrum bidder out if someone on a different platform got there first, there were a few challenging lots to execute. > > The overall experience was pleasant. Everyone at iRostrum wanted us to succeed and we felt supported. The product looked great and the auction ran incredibly well. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/288156/irostrum?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/288156/irostrum) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
