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.

While ClearPoint Strategy is great for tracking goals and performance, the user interface feels a bit outdated and could be more intuitive. Some features require a learning curve, especially for new users, and customizing reports can sometimes be tricky...
