"MacroPoint Review"
4/5
What do you like best about Descartes MacroPoint?

Carrier visibility in a fairly easy to understand interface Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descartes MacroPoint?

The requirement for carrier buy in is not stressed enough at outset. Need more support to get carriers fully onboard with USING the product. The 15 minute refresh rate was not fully explained until after the fact... it was not a show stopper... but wonder why that was not explained up front. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
