Relatively antiquated **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Apparel & Fashion | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2019 **What do you like best about Bamboo Rose?** It at least holds our style information and houses it in one place **What do you dislike about Bamboo Rose?** There are very little reports/data that can be made from it, and it doesn't 'talk' to any of our other applications. There aren't any automated notifications to us or our vendors regarding changes or comments, and it also is very difficult to track development - it's mostly free text and reading if you want to know anything. Would like to be able to see, for example, all styles in a season that use certain artwork. These search functions are sort of there, but they are hit or miss. **What problems is Bamboo Rose solving and how is that benefiting you?** Development of fashion product. Basically it's a good place to house all information, but it really isn't super functional for tracking the development or making mass changes or seeing data. ### 10.
