What do you like best about Cascade?

Unified view of a strategic plan to whatever level of complexity you or your clients require.

Constant updates and new features added to the platform to improve UX.

Great support from the team and simple training.

Can really be leveraged to bring all involved parties into the strategic planning and executing process - supports organizational buy-in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

Nothing, have found it more intuitive and easier to drive strategic efforts than through other tools like PMW, Clarity and MSP. Like any tool, there is a learning curve and it takes time BUT so does communicating on various strategic initiatives and gathering reporting data. Cascade really lets you get it all in one place and a lot of the work is work you'd be doing anyway to support the roll-out of the strategic plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Helping bring a plan from the development to the execution stage while driving improved communication. Reporting just falls out of it. Enhances visibility and allows the leaderships time to be spent seeing actionable data rather than a "tick the box" update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

- We recognised that while we were great at developing our strategy, our execution needed improvement. We would lose sight of our vision and invest heavily in projects that wouldn't get us there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cascade?

1. The tracking of the progress with dashboards. Previously my clients found it nearly impossible to understand what progress was being made in terms of executing the strategic plan, but with Cascade it is transparent and straight forward. For management that is a key factor in being able to organize their teams and focus on what is relevant.

2. Integrations. Cascade can collaborate with many of the systems my clients use to manage individual parts of the strategy and is helpful in setting them up.

3. The knowledge and professionalism of the Cascade staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

It can do so much and it is easy to get distracted with new features before the basics are in place. We often started to wide instead of going narrow and focused. If you start using the tool, make sure you don't Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Main one is inefficiency. Managing strategy through spreadsheets was very time consuming and there are countless limitations. Replacing it with Cascade made it so much easier for the staff to buy into and engage with the strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the details can be hard to find here and there, but since we joined in 2019, Cascade Strategy has gone above and beyond in taking our feedback and working diligently to make their system even more user-friendly and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With Cascade Strategy, we are able to effectively manage/track our strategic plan, and the platform encourages our team to stay engaged. We truly would not be able to track our plan as efficiently as we are able to without Cascade Strategy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
