What do you like best about ClearPoint Strategy?

The application allows us to capture, monitor, and report the department's performance metrics and strategic initiatives. We are still learning all of the features, but I see potential for us to use these features more efficiently to improve our work processes. The application is customizable to include logos, color palettes and layout of the various elements. The tutorials are great and seem to work for some training purposes. Andrew Middleton has been great to work with. He is patient, kind and supportive. He responds quickly and is willing to meet me where I am at with the application to teach me more about its utilization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClearPoint Strategy?

The learning curve for our staff when using the application has been difficult. As different people learn and comprehend in different ways, the tutorials may only provide assistance for some, but not all. There are so many components of the application to learn, it is difficult for a lead person to work with many other responsibilities to perform the work and share with others. This may be an internal issue with our organization. It seems that I need to focus on managing this work 100% of my time rather than the 10-15% of my time that I have to devote to PMs/Scorecards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClearPoint Strategy solving and how is that benefiting you?

ClearPoint provides an application to store data, monitor metrics, compilation of reports and project management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ted Jackson of ClearPoint Strategy

Thank you for your kind and honest review. We would love to get you into our early access program for ClearPoint Next as we have implemented many time saving techniques in our new efficient interface. Great to hear you are leveraging our customization features and working closely with our CS Team.

What do you like best about ClearPoint Strategy?

The appeal of ClearPoint is it's potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClearPoint Strategy?

My reservations about the product are that there can be a big learning curve for account admins, and you need to be able to dedicate a lot of time to it in the beginning. We also did not have enough of our performance management system established to make the best use of our onboarding team because we weren't sure what we wanted, which isn't the fault of CP, but a word of caution to others that it would be wise to have a good structure in place before making the jump to a system like this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClearPoint Strategy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our health department lacked alignment between our Strategic Plan, Community Health Improvement Plan, Workforce Development Plan, and Quality Improvement/Performance Management Plan. ClearPoint is helping us to create more alignment between all of those, and to formalize our performance management efforts, which has been long overdue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ted Jackson of ClearPoint Strategy

Thank you for the review. We are rolling out a new user interface to dramatically shrink the learning curve in Q1-25. We have shared it with many clients and have received great feedback. Please reach out so we can share these features with your team.

What do you like best about ClearPoint Strategy?

The ClearPoint Strategy technology solution is an excellent product with superior support. Implementation of this user-friendly product has been intuitive throughout our onboarding experience. As new users, our employees have been very pleased with the funcitionality and features, including the personalized workspaces for KPIs and initiatives for which they are responsible. The interconnectivity of the chat function within the application and our email system is convenient and easy to use. Of particular interest has been the built-in flexibility to build the Level 1 enterprise scorecard with the options to build out departmental scorecards, as needed (levels 2, 3, etc.). The ability to roll data up, push data down, or extract it from our data integration processes depending on the KPI is extremely convenient. One of the reasons for selecting ClearPoint Strategies solution was their strategy success framework for launching implementation, which has enabled us to to evaluate our own existing corporate strategy and where we are as a company in the strategy maturity process. It has been an excellent tool to use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClearPoint Strategy?

Everyone at ClearPoint we have encountered has been extremely helpful and responsive. I haven't encountered any downsides of this product or their services and support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClearPoint Strategy solving and how is that benefiting you?

This solution is helping us resolve our issues with inconsistent data and internal assumptions, data integrity, and duplicative reporting across multiple departments and the excessive use of spreadsheets... it will not only consolidate the data, standardize the reporting, and minimize reporting timelines, it will also be available for all employees to view, keeping our corporate strategy, KPIs and initiatives alligned and visible for all employees and management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ted Jackson of ClearPoint Strategy

Julie, we greatly appreciate this review, and we look forward to seeing you cascade your strategy from level 1 to level 3 and beyond in ClearPoint. The rollout and training has been smooth and we look forward to many quarterly review cycles.

What do you like best about ClearPoint Strategy?

ClearPoint streamlined our stagetic planning process! The onboarding team (specifically Marissa) made understanding how to utilize the software simple. I love the ability to see all of our data at a glance with easy-to-understand visual repesentations. Our reporting structure for meetings is now SO much easier as well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClearPoint Strategy?

The only thing I dislike about the software is the milestone evaluation process. I'd prefer for the completion percentage to be evaluated based on # of milestones completed as opposed to basing completion on milestone deadline dates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClearPoint Strategy solving and how is that benefiting you?

ClearPoint makes our strategic plan easy to understand. It also provides a central hub of data that makes running department, executive team, or board meetings much easier. It's nice to have all of our data in one spot with visual graphs to understand how we are tracking on our strategic plan and goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ted Jackson of ClearPoint Strategy

Thank you so much for the kind review. It is wonderful to hear from our clients that are seeing value quickly and easily with ClearPoint. I know an easy way to capture initiative completion based on milestones the way you described. I'll have Marisa reach out about it. - Thanks again.

What do you like best about ClearPoint Strategy?

ClearPoint Strategy makes strategic planning and performance management incredibly efficient. The automated reporting saves time by eliminating manual data collection, and the customizable dashboards provide clear, real-time insights into key initiatives. I also appreciate the seamless collaboration features, which help keep teams aligned and accountable. Its ability to integrate with various data sources ensures that all performance metrics are in one place, making decision-making much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClearPoint Strategy?

While ClearPoint Strategy is great for tracking goals and performance, the user interface feels a bit outdated and could be more intuitive. Some features require a learning curve, especially for new users, and customizing reports can sometimes be tricky without additional support. Additionally, integration with third-party tools could be smoother to improve workflow automation. Despite these minor drawbacks, it remains a powerful tool for strategic planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClearPoint Strategy solving and how is that benefiting you?

ClearPoint Strategy helps streamline Strategic Portfolio Management by providing real-time visibility into multiple projects and aligning them with company goals. It eliminates inefficiencies in performance tracking through automated reporting, reducing manual effort and speeding up decision-making. The platform enhances team collaboration by breaking down silos and ensuring alignment through centralized scorecards and dashboards. Additionally, it simplifies measuring the ROI of strategic initiatives by offering data-driven insights and KPI tracking, allowing for better resource allocation and optimization. Overall, it improves execution, accountability, and strategic impact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ClearPoint Strategy?

As a new user of ClearPoint, Andrew Middleton has been extremely helpful as our main point of contact in navigating the many functions of the platform. He has helped us maximize our utilization to best serve our organization and make it as user-friendly as possible for our colleagues who are reporting data. We have been able to accurately and easily track progress towards annual measures we set at the beginning of each fiscal year. One of my favorite functions of ClearPoint is the ability to rewatch meeting recordings which are saved in the “Success Portal”. This has allowed me to reference pathways and functions that Andrew guided me through without the need to take extensive notes during meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClearPoint Strategy?

As with many platforms, ClearPoint does have many functions that are not well-known unless you actively seek them out specifically. Once you learn all of the things it can do, it is quite user friendly. However, it is a continuous learning process as someone who doesn’t have advanced technical skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClearPoint Strategy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Prior to using ClearPoint Strategy, our organization didn't have a great way of tracking measures of progress towards our strategic goals. Now, we have a very organized system that tracks for us with very little effort on the user side. Team leads input data on measures once a quarter, and ClearPoint does the rest. This has allowed us to accurately measure our productivity, efficiency, and impact as an organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ted Jackson of ClearPoint Strategy

Thank you for the great review. It is always wonderful to hear about the value that our software is bringing to organizations like yours. In our new user interface, we're making it even easier to find all of the robust features of ClearPoint.

What do you like best about ClearPoint Strategy?

ClearPoint is incredibly user friendly which makes it easy to have people from all levels of the organization, from the City Manager to data input staff, use the system in the way that works for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClearPoint Strategy?

This isn't so much as a dislike but my own time management issue. ClearPoint is always improving and it can be a bit much to keep up to date with all the new improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ClearPoint Strategy:

After the demo, reach out to other organizations to hear about how they are using the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClearPoint Strategy solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest problem solved is the housing of performance measures owned by 22 different departments with over a 100 users. We used to hold our data in multiple spreadsheets with multiple tabs which made the management of the data nearly impossible. We also house our Citywide Strategic Plan as well as department business plans in ClearPoint, which makes it available for all staff to view and track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ClearPoint Strategy?

The best thing I liked was the since of building a relationship with us and not saying here is the application and best of luck. The other thing was when we ran into issues they were addressed fast and in a mutual manner. No finger pointing happend. The last a biggest "like" is simply the ease of use as the application is very intutitive to use after a little poking around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClearPoint Strategy?

Honestly there are no downsides at this moment, however as a suggestion from a project management standpoint I would say this. I think sticking to or reinforcing the onboarding process with the "Sucess Portal" could have been pushed a little more. While we woked directly with Ted who was amazing I feel the sucess portal could have been leveraged a little more to help keep a structured approach to things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClearPoint Strategy solving and how is that benefiting you?

ClearPoint is helping us move from a manual spreadsheet way of reporting KPI information into a streamlined and automated workflow. This will help us to report in a more timly manner and present the same information to all levels of the organization in different ways. It is about promoting transparancy to the company and understanding what our goals are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ted Jackson of ClearPoint Strategy

Thank you for your kind words about ClearPoint, and I'm glad you are finding the application easy to use. Good luck in your upcoming reporting cycle.

What do you like best about ClearPoint Strategy?

The graphs & reports that ClearPoint produces are very helpful visual tools that keep us on track with goals, & the team (specifically Andrew Middleton) have been very helpful in addressing questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClearPoint Strategy?

It can be a little difficult to get everything to appear as I'd like, but the team has helped me resolve some of that. I also don't love how when you open a Measure tab from the Default scorecard page or search for a specific owner, the Default list will reset every time instead of keeping its place. It can be annoying to have to scroll over & over when there are so many goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClearPoint Strategy solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is helping us keep consistent track of goals and targets in a uniform way across multiple departments & programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ted Jackson of ClearPoint Strategy

Thank you for the review. I think you are going to really like the new user interface that replaces tabs and has a more intuitive search. We have an active early-access user base and would love to add you to it.

What do you like best about ClearPoint Strategy?

Our strategy team has been very impressed with not only the customizable platform for our County's unique setup, but also with the consistent and reliable support from the setup team, and the clear communication from start to finish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClearPoint Strategy?

I have no complaints about the platform or any of the people we have worked with along the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClearPoint Strategy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our organization has been lacking a comprehensive system to manage department programs and efforts, and being able to display how these efforts tie into the overarching initiatives and outcomes. ClearPoint provides this solution. We can show the high-level progress towards acheiving the desired outcomes, we can show where to dedicate more effort toward specific initiatives, and we can dig in to the nitty-gritty of day-to-day operations to see how these all feed into the organization's success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ted Jackson of ClearPoint Strategy

We're thrilled to hear that you have found ClearPoint Strategy to be a valuable and consistent platform for your organization's needs. Our team takes pride in providing reliable support to our clients.
