Likelihood to Recommend

This program works very well. Small tweaks or simplifications would improve user experience for new employees. We usually have to spend some time and have short training sessions with anyone who is new to the application, but they seem to catch on quickly. I think that can be attributed to the interface and help features. Overall, works well and allows a customizable organization.
