What do you like best about Cascade?

The customer support has been outstanding working with me build our strategy using custom features, which is important when bringing in a new business tool. This support has been extended to the executive team, making it easy for me, the strategy owner, to engage our executive team to use Cascade. Prior to using Cascade it was cumbersome to update progress against targets and having the visibility and accountability across the team has given the team confidence that as a business we will be able to make meaningful progress to achieve our 2025 Vision. Cascade means that we can focus on delivering against the strategy rather than spending too much time setting goals and targets in tools not designed for this purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

At this stage I wouldn't say I have found any part of the tool I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cascade:

Cascade has made documenting the strategy 100 times easier than the tool we had so we can spend our efforts actually delivering the strategy rather than trying to finish the plan visibility and resulting accountability across teams is also going to mean we will do a better job delivering against our goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Keeping all teams across the business accountable through greater visibility on activity.

Offering a tool that is super intuitive so that executives are more inclined to update greater detail and targets and as a team we can track our progress and act on concerns. This means we can do a better job at delivering against our strategic goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cascade?

- My team and I love the Microsoft teams integration. We do everything on Teams so being able to update our goals directly through Teams was a game-changer.

- When our boss used to ask us to report on the strategy, it would be the worst news possible 😂. That would mean weeks of chasing people, compiling data and building a nonsensical powerpoint presentation. We don't have to do anything now because he's got an automatic report with our regular updates.

- I can see how my goals impact the objectives my bosses have set. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

- We've just got our team on it at the moment. Looking forward to getting the others on it so we can start tagging them on projects we're collaborating on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

- My bosses wanted us to have visibility on how we would move in the direction they wanted.

- Reduce manual work involved in strategy progress reporting

- Not sure if they were trying to solve this but engagement is definitely up! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cascade?

Our strategy was previously all over the place. It lived in a number of PowerPoint docs that only management would read. We'd only revisit it quarterly and it was generally a scramble to link our actions for the quarter back to the strategy. The reports were a lot of effort but provided no real insight for the next quarter.

Cascade has simplified all of that. Everyone knows exactly what they need to do to achieve our objectives and the dashboards and snapshots make it easy to stay on top of it and change direction if needed. It feels like strategy is top of mind for our teams now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

There were some small bugs at the start but we mentioned them to our support and they were fixed within the week. That's all I can think. The product is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Every year, we've struggled to implement our plans. There's been a disconnect between what we set out to achieve and what our teams are working on. Cascade has brought visibility and alignment. Our team members are all talking about strategy now! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cascade?

Cascade strategy is a really clear way to plan, organise and track your company strategy. It is very intuitive and easy to use and has lots of great features, especially the goal tracking function and reporting dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

One thing that I find slightly difficult is the way the goals sometimes jump around when you are trying to drag and drop them to different places. You need to be really careful and precise otherwise goals can get lost or end up in the wrong place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The benefits we have realised through using Cascade include clear and precise tracking of objectives and KPIs, as well as easily being able to share overviews and reports with the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cascade?

It's the only tool in our organisation that provides a birds-eye view of our complete change portfolio and how what we are investing in is balanced across our strategic plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

Haven't encountered any downsides yet! I think the next iteration will want to rival true ppm tools as you have alot of this functionality already and then the 3 layers are covered (portfolio, programme and project). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are solving the need for us to be able to communicate effectively and in a visually appealing way what the totality of our change programme looks like in relation to our strategic focus areas to our stakeholders. This has been a challenge previously because health is complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cascade?

Cascade initially came recommended by a colleague, and I had a chance to thank him for it yesterday because I've had a very positive experience overall. Joseph, Laura, and Max have been incredibly helpful from initial contact through to onboarding and usage support, and the software itself is remarkably streamlined, sleek, and user-friendly. I'm thrilled with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

I would like to see the tracking chart bit of the goals and objectives become a bit more simple to use and shareable, but that's me being pedantic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It has helped a lot with strategy rollout, visualisation and implementation, and the snapshot/dashboard section is to die for. It helps with communication among leadership and staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
