What do you like best about Cascade?

I appreciate how the platform is not clunky, easy to navigate, and visually appealing. I also appreciate the different views and reports that can be generated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

If there were an integration with email platforms to allow for deliverable updates via email (e.g., completing a google form within the email), that would help with pushing users to regularly update their goals (besides the generic email that says to update them.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cascade:

- more integration with email and slack

- assistance with improving deliverables and KPIs

- community building with other users of the software for best practices on how to leverage the features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

- Appropriate Work distribution

- Transparency in progress to goals

The platform has been helpful in timestamping where the organization is and keeping us on track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Probably more features/widgets for dashboard reporting would be awesome. Nothing to dislike so far, customer support is also very prompt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Highly recommended for its ability to give a bird's-eye view over our goals and generate instant reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Danielle Latimore and the responsiveness of everyone I've interacted with - we're still in our first year with Cascade so I like that it's intuitive and I'm excited about more possibilities.

Onboarding less technically able members of our team. I would love if there were more formatting features for reports (cosmetic possibilities not functional options) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cascade?

Cascade allows our entire team to organize all of our goals/objectives with dates/KPI's to see what is happening across all areas of the business. I am impressed with the updates and support. I prefer working with a person, Sarah has been great! Like any software program, once you get past the initial learning curve, you can see how well designed and easy to use this program is. Going into our second year, Cascade is proven as a solid strat planner with full features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

No downside or dislike once you understand that Cascade is not a Project Managment program (although it provides alot of features in this area). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Alignment and reporting are now fully realized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cascade?

It's an easy to use platform that covers all stages - planning, executing and tracking. It's so easy to be agile and adapt to any changes while ensuring everyone is kept informed.

Great reporting and tracking capabilities.

Very flexible Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

Nothing as of now. We initially had a couple of feature requests for which we voted and gave feedback. They were actually able to deliver those features! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cascade:

Make good use of the content available and customer experience team. They have a lot of content resources (videos, interviews, articles) for help and their support team is prompt with answers in case you get stuck anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Hitting our strategic goals. During the first full quarter of implementing Cascade, we were shocked to have only hit 35% of our strategic goals. We hadn't been tracking this number properly over the years and this was the first time we had a tangible number to look at. The next quarter though, we were tracking our numbers frequently and identifying risks, opportunities early on through Cascade. This allowed us to hit about 73% of our goals. This was huge for us.

Planning and execution can get complicated - especially in an organization like ours where everyone is stuck in silos, multiple product lines etc. But Cascade helps to break the complexity into simpler blocks. It gave structure and clarity to the teams. They were able to see how their work impacts business outcomes and that led to an increase in engagement and ownership.

We are more organized, transparent, and efficient now. Our organization is on the way to being a well-oiled machine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cascade?

Its very simple and intuitive to use. The set up was a breeze. I got my plan going in no time at all. The UX/UI is really slick and the set up is really quite self explanatory. I am still on the trial version so yet to experience the full breadth of the product. Having the entire plan in one place made it super simple. Previously we would use Google Sheets to track progress, this is a much better solution for us to coordinate across our various teams and functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

Nothing so far, I am still on my trial. I wish the free trial were longer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cascade:

Really good for coordinating teams of all sizes.

Much better than spreadsheets and powerpoints.

Great for managers to get visibility on what everyone is working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Having the plan in one place where the entire team can access it. We were using Google Sheets and the like but it felt so one dimensional, and it was hard to track and report against it. With Cascade, we all have visibility into the various workstreams the team are working on at any point in time. It makes our in person catch ups so much more efficient because all the day to day stuff we can just capture in Cascade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
