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.

The platform is intuitive to use and allows our teams to remain engaged with OKRs throughout our global offices. The key is the simplicity of the system.

There is not much to dislike. Next product features that may be useful is project management integrations with Asana, Monday, Notion for our teams to show tactical progress on OKR items. More integrations with HR tooling for culture and people reporting.
