Cons	IdeaBuddy No answers on this topic	Palo Alto Software UX: It's beyond time for an overhaul, especially on mobile. It can make the app seem dated. The accounting software integration has been prone to break and need to be re-setup, though that seems to have improved. Incentivized Jason Ogden, President President / Partner Read full review	Gohagit No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	IdeaBuddy No answers on this topic	Palo Alto Software We did not really find a similar solution. All other solutions are focused on project management, [there's] nothing on generating a business plan. There is nothing on this level that helps people without any business experience write the plan. They have samples, instructions what to write where, how to prepare for pitching, and generate dashboards. Nothing in this market gets anywhere close to this solution.
