The report generation process can be much easier, as the user interaction is not pleasant. Read full review Support Rating Support for BetterCloud is excellent. They have fantastic email support who are very responsive and knowledgeable, but more importantly they have chat support that are absolutely top-notch. They have not only the knowledge to answer and help, but the capability to solve without escalations or runarounds. These support folks are the real deal.

Granular roles: ability to set least-access permissions. And really, truly granular unlike some other applications. Automation: we’ve already saved dozens of man hours using workflows.
