What do you like best about Cascade?

We were desperate for a platform that helped us bring our strategy together, share it, track progress, drive accountability and move away from bloody spreadsheets. For us, Cascade has provided the perfect solution.

We have found it extremely intuative and easy to use. It provides great flexibility and a range of reporting options that drive co-operation and shared achievement.

Thom and the Cascade team provide fantastic support. As a group of non-IT guys, we have asked a million questions and all have been answered with a level of clarity and detail that has helped us to continually move forward.

Overall Cascade has bought huge value to our business Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

I really cant think of any downsides - the whoel team is very happy with the system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cascade solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were using a number of seperate spreadsheets to manage our strategy. They became hard to manage, hard to update and very difficult to assess overall progress in delivering the strategy.

Cascade provides a online, live interface that integrates all of teh various strategies within the business. It provides full visibility to the entire business of the overall strategy and drives engagement through a feeling of being connected within the big picture.

What do you like best about Cascade?

Cascade gives individuals and teams clarity on how they contribute to the global strategic goals and performance metrics of the company from a daily and quarterly perspective.

Bringing together global teams can be tricky, and Cascade helps to keep consistency from quarter to quarter, so the entire organization is rowing in the same direction.

The platform itself is super easy to use, and the team is active in releasing new and improved features regularly.

Easy to view your team objectives, and the live dashboards provide easy day-to-day tracking and reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

No real downsides. Feedback and suggestions continue to be applied to the roadmap. Great customer support if you need anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cascade:

Test it out with some samples plans to see if it fits what your org is looking for Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cascade solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cascade helps us to be very targeted towards the highest value metrics we need to achieve as a business each quarter.

We see substantial benefits from having each individual and team know how they contribute to achieving the business goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cascade?

I like that Cascade is a cloud-native platform, as it means it's accessible on multiple devices and any changes made by a user are visible for any function across your business. For our business, an enormous challenge is our ability to track work across different functions, as well as different functions having accessibility to our core business strategies. Having a central nervous system allows for us to have a collaborative environment whereby every function of the business is aligned on core strategies and recognises their contribution to said strategies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

Nothing that I dislike about Cascade, it's a great platform, that has helped us massively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cascade solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cascade's feature of automated push notifications reminding objective owners of their tasks has massively helped us to ensure an autonomous culture for our employees while simultaneously reducing risk of overdue tasks, which has helped us enormously.

Additionally, Cascade's Engagement tracker has been a game-changer for us. Strategies fail once employees become disengaged with said strategies, but Cascade considers numerous different variables and offers you insight into engagement based on those variables. This has allowed us to be proactive and overcome hurdles seamlessly that would otherwise typically be detrimental to our strategy execution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cascade?

The best thing I like about Cascade is its ability to track every element of the plan - customizing the software with ease to manage the things that are important to me and my Department. But, all of the functionality is useless if the interface is too difficult or complex, but with Cascade the user-interface is so easy to use and learn. Prior to selecting Cascade I reviewed and piloted several software applications, but none were as functional and easy to use as Cascade. Cascade blew the competition away - regardless of price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

After using Cascade for a year to pilot and then manage my Department's Strategic Plan I do not have any complaints. The software is easy to use and comprehensive - perfect for managing a Strategic Plan. The customer service is impressive - always helpful and friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cascade:

If you have a Strategic Plan that needs to be managed Cascade is a great option. Cascade performs as needed, blows the competition away, and has top notch customer service - tough to beat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cascade solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Cascade to track and monitor and manage my Department's Strategic Plan. Cascade provides an easy interface for users to quickly get in, get what they need, and get out quickly or linger and explore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integrated visuals such as graphs are hid behind each metric or tactic, where they could be a part of a hover over window expansion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Organizing multiple entities around the centralized corporate strategies and priorities. Allowing for multiple users to contribute at various levels, all able to streamline and tie back to the central objectives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cascade?

Cascade is an eye-opener for managing strategy. It's easy to get started and to map strategic plans within the tool. But once getting into it, the number of options to customize and integrate other sources seems almost limitless.

Before using Cascade, there was just no way to keep every relevant strategy component in one place. That often led to a lack of effectiveness and difficulties in bringing everyone on board. With Cascade, all teams globally know what role they play within the company, which actions to take, and which KPI to achieve for the strategy to succeed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

There is no downside. Cascade is easy to use and has more functionalities than I could have imagined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cascade solving and how is that benefiting you?

Managing strategy basically with PowerPoint slides, Excel sheets, and email templates just never seemed right. Therefore, Cascade is replacing tools that were never supposed to be used for this purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
