Magazine Manager allows you to shape the system around how your team actually works, rather than forcing you into rigid workflows. The built in AI tools are genuinely useful, helping streamline communication and refine brand voice, while the overall platform supports organization, scalability, and long term growth. > > **Cons**: Because it’s so customizable, there is a learning curve. Especially for teams that want to jump in fast without configuring workflows first. Some features aren’t immediately intuitive, but once you understand the system logic, it becomes much more powerful. > > The Magazine Manager feels like a system built by people who actually understand how publishing, sales, and operations collide in real life. It’s flexible without being flimsy, structured without being restrictive. Once dialed in, it streamlines communication, workflow management, and customer relationships in a way that supports growth instead of slowing it down. It’s especially strong for teams that want control, customization, and room to evolve. ----- ### "2 thumbs up\!" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *1 May 2026* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Huge number of ways to pull data. Production work flow is easily tracked and quick to update. Requests for changes in the MM system are welcome and seriously considered when they do updates. Excellent customer service and live chat. > > **Cons**: Since there are so many options, there is a moderate learning curve to master everything. We continue to have a glitch with our emails and are not able to link outbound client/prospecting emails to the MM account. > > My overall experience has been great. The live chat is a lifesaver and the production workflow tracking saves me so much time over how I used to do it. ----- ### "Great Publishing Software\! Great Value for the Investment\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *29 May 2026* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We recently switched from another publishing software and we have been very impressed with what MM has to offer. In addition, they continue to make updates every week and listen to the suggestions of their clients. They have been more than helpful in getting us acclimated to the software. We also opted to have Marketing Manager which has been helpful to have the email interactions recorded in our CRM. We are still learning, but so far it has been a great experience, and we are looking forward to future updates. It was worth taking the leap and a good value for the investment\! > > **Cons**: The conversion over - which was not there fault per se, but anyone converting I suggest they talk to some at MM and request an account manager that has experience with a conversion from the platform you previously were on. We found that person a little ate in the game and I think planning with that person woul dhave made our conversion a little smoother. Improvements can be made ont he Marketing Manager side as it relates to creating segments and workflows - it seems we should be able to click on groups in Magazine Manager and send vs. having to make that a segment first, name it, then send. Too many steps, but the connection to the CRM and the recording of the interaction for the reps make this worth the extra steps. Also, being able to update a billing contact after it has been invoiced would be extremely helpful. > > Everyone of the account managers that we have had for training have been great. Everyone is friendly and helpful. The chat is amazing\! The person who mainly runs the board is spot on and helpful. Even the after hours chat bot has been really helpful for us. \[sensitive content hidden\] have been fantastic and Matt has done a great job helping us out with our one off questions\! ----- ### "MM Review 2026" — 5.0/5 > **Mary** | *5 January 2026* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Magazine Manager has been a great addition to my workflow. I really like the platform—it’s intuitive, keeps me organized, and makes it easy to stay on top of priorities. The client tracking and goal-setting tools are especially helpful, and I love having the ability to monitor performance and quickly reference customer history in one place. I’m also looking forward to using more of the production applications as I continue working in the system. Overall, it’s a well-built platform that supports day-to-day efficiency and better long-term planning. > > **Cons**: I do wish there were a way to copy and paste proposals even after they’ve passed the close date, with the ability to update and refresh them as needed. > > The quality of Magazine Manager is excellent for sales and publications. The team does their best to respond to issues quickly, and I really appreciate the ongoing support. If I ever miss something new, they always send a training link that I can watch at my convenience—super helpful and easy to fit into my schedule. ----- ### "Great software for publications\!" — 5.0/5 > **James** | *30 December 2025* | Dairy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Magazine manager was made for publications so it is great for managing both the advertising side and the circulation side. It also helps us do more with our data. > > **Cons**: The one thing I don't like is that you can't map email addresses input through the email upload back to contacts in the CRM. Those two areas are not as connected as I'd like. > > It works great for us. The support in getting it set up and learning it was great. Also really good training each time we hire someone new. ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/77189/the-magazine-manager?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/77189/the-magazine-manager) ## 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 | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
