What do you like best about Cascade?

The team at Cascade has been incredible to work with as we truly operationalized our strategic plan for the first time. Oh and the reports that I can pull are pretty amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

The tool is a little slow and the PDF pulls aren't the most visually pleasing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cascade:

Absolutely leverage the training videos and the support team. They are REALLY good at both the tool and strategic thinking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have been able to measure our impact and work on a daily, weekly and monthly basis to report progress against our 3 year strategic plan. Using Cascade has taken the disparate reporting system we had for our board and consolidated it into one tool for monthly updating. We can showcase our work much more quickly and work on the business as well as in the business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cascade?

My colleague and I just returned from an event at their Sydney head office. It was a great experience thanks mostly to the team there, coupled with the fact that the software makes a real difference to our strategy. We love the way that the content on the blogs, links so well with how to actually use the tool.

From a pure software perspective, I like the fact that they update the software regularly and introduce features like the new sliding sidebar which makes everything easier to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

Waiting for the mobile app, but I know it's in the works! That will be the absolute final bit of the puzzle for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cascade:

I haven't found a similar tool, but if you're using Excel or Powerpoint for planning, give it a try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Initially it was around strategic planning, but we've now moved into actually implementing the plan and use it mostly for our team meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cascade?

It's hard to choose just one thing that I like the best! Cascade is easy to use and administer. The new enhanced Project Management tool has allowed us to get rid of our old tool and are now using Cascade to manage our projects. Cascade is more than just a software tool, as they guide you through building a well-structured plan and provide on-going Strategic Planning resources. The reporting features are dynamic and help everyone in the organization understand where they fit in the "big picture" as they align their daily activities with the organization's high-level goals and vision. I have always had excellent customer service from everyone I've dealt with over the last 4 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

I haven't found anything I dislike about the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are in the middle of a "systems transformation" and have a plethora of projects and initiatives that are critical to our existence. The ability to be able to plan, manage and track our Strategic Plan using Cascade is mission critical to staying in business over the next 18 months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
