It's not intuituive. If you have plenty of products, when adding information on the table, you do not see the name of that row (because you went down, but the name of the row is not frozen). The user interface needs to improve.

I love the ease of use and how it has simplified making our strategic plan come to life. The software is second to none in terms of accessibility and ease of use.

Cascade did not provide us with adequate training to set up our plan. Bec saved the day! If it were not for Bec's willingness to help and her can-do attitude, we would be looking for new software.
