User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Phocas If you would like your data in one place with easy access, this is the software for you. You can have data from multiple systems and bring it into one view so that you have a quick and easily visible dashboard for the data you wish to see. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Toucan Great for folks to visualize data with little to no engineering knowledge, once the product is set up by an engineer. However, tweaks and adjustments to the data set still require engineering know-how, and tweaks to the visuals still require a CSS designer. If you need PDF reports, this is not the best option, but it's great for on-screen reporting. Incentivized Kathleen Paluso Director, Customer Success & Implementation Read full review
