    Cons
    Frappe
    • Random errors (seem to be related to python) can be very difficult to troubleshoot.
    • Creating reports and print/email documents is very cumbersome and confusing. Needs to have a WYSIWYG editor.

    • Many of the improvements are being met with each upgrade. Altus Dynamics has an idea portal that customers can add ideas to and vote on other customer ideas. This means that most issues that come up are resolved with each new upgrade.

    • As a technician it's hard for me to say what effect the ROI has had on our organization, however our finance team seems satisfied on it. We look forward to deploying the staff dashboards for better financial tracking throughout our whole organization.
