Ambassador
Should be used by organizations to promote business and bring in new customers, particularly the ones with a bigger customer base. It may or may not be used by small businesses as the data is not too much to store, however, I recommend using it anyway as it will save time and, in turn, let you do more for your business.

We were launching an incentive and loyalty program for a client and they had so many questions. GrowSurf and their system basically gave us a script to follow and the setup, trainings, and tracking provided by their software made the project successful. At the end of the day, we use this and our clients use this to get started in loyalty and incentive programs from here on out.

Usability
Ambassador
It is very user friendly, all options and features are easily accessible. Support material is readily available to help out with general queries or frequently asked questions. The software's customer-facing end does not require any special training or skills to use it to its full capacity. In short, it is easy and good looking.

I have not yet faced any issue while using the features of this service. But whenever I needed help with anything, I've gotten a satisfying response in terms of resolution and response time. I am sure I will get the same response when there is an issue that needs immediate attention.

I have not used too much software for the said purpose, but in comparison to the ones I have used, this one seems to be the most user-friendly and intuitive to use. That's the whole idea when you are paying for software: to cut down on admin work and save time.

GrowSurf was recommended to us by a friend and we were impressed after the free trial so we decided to go with it. The price was right and it offered what we needed so we didn't feel the need to try out other programs before deciding to go with GrowSurf.
