Backstop is used by our investment team for tracking notes from internal/external meetings and calls, as well as for portfolio oversight and management through the private equity module.

Pros and Cons

Storage of notes from calls and meetings.
Tracking portfolio holding balances, transactions, and IRRs/MOICs.
Allowing flexibility for client-defined uses.

Simplicity, ease of use (hard to get everyone on the team on the same page for how to use it).
Opportunities have been really hard for us to leverage.
It seems like it's geared towards salespeople sometimes instead of portfolio managers, etc.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think for people who are in investment sales or portfolio management, Backstop can be an incredibly valuable resource.

Support Rating

Backstop support is fantastic. They always pick up the phone without a wait and are highly knowledgeable, I rarely need more than 5 minutes to fix an issue.
