"EXCELLENT METHOD, TOOL and PLATFORM"
What do you like best about BSC Designer?

• Very efficient method to define a company strategy for small companies

• Very efficient presentation of a company strategy : having different strategic objectives connected all together is very powerful to ensure that the company strategy and efforts are going in the same direction.

• Website well designed and videos, explanation on methodology and how to use the tool very helpful

• Despite a quite complex subject (build a strategic map), this method and tool managed to remain at the right level between methodological and operation tool and high level concepts and action plan Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BSC Designer?

• The understanding of key concepts such as difference between strategic priorities and strategic objectives or strategic objects vs actions, is sometimes complicated to make when we are working on our strategic map without the help of someone used to this exercise.

• We have had some difficulties in keying all the information to create the strategic map and ensure that it was displayed properly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"an extremely useful tool that allows organizing complex information in a clear and visual manner"
What do you like best about BSC Designer?

Among the most notable features are the ability to customize perspectives for different types of analyses, such as Porter's Five Forces model, the creation of indicators with detailed notes, and the clear visualization of the strategic map, facilitating the understanding of the connections between the various elements of the project. Another positive aspect is the ability to record observations and comments on each indicator, which helps to document analyses in a detailed and organized manner. Additionally, the interface is intuitive and user-friendly, allowing even beginner users to easily navigate between projects, create new indicators, and visually track the results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BSC Designer?

As a point of improvement, it would be interesting to provide ready-made templates for specific analyses, such as market sectors or types of strategic projects, which would further facilitate the start of new projects. I also missed options for different colors and icons to highlight strengths, weaknesses, or priorities on the map, resources that would help make the visualization even more intuitive and pleasant.

Overall, I consider BSC Designer a practical, efficient, and visually clear tool that significantly contributes to strategic planning and the monitoring of indicators, making the process more agile, structured, and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An Essential Tool for Aligning Strategy Across Departments"
What do you like best about BSC Designer?

BSC Designer is extremely helpful in building structured and visual strategy maps. I love how it allows you to create individual scorecards for departments while still linking them under a unified company-wide strategy. The ability to manage KPIs, assign responsibilities, and align goals in one platform simplifies strategic planning significantly. The interface is clean, and the ability to switch between different perspectives (financial, customer, etc.) makes the process intuitive and aligned with balanced scorecard methodology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BSC Designer?

The learning curve can be a bit steep at first, especially when trying to link entire scorecards together instead of just KPIs. The documentation could offer clearer step-by-step tutorials for more complex features like hierarchical scorecards and strategy alignment across business units. Also, the pricing model is slightly confusing—it’s not immediately clear if the plan is monthly or yearly unless you dig deeper into the terms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerfull BSC Software"
What do you like best about BSC Designer?

BSC Designer is a robust and user-centric software solution engineered for strategic planning and performance management. It excels in facilitating the implementation and tracking of the Balanced Scorecard framework, allowing organizations to effectively translate their strategic objectives into a tangible set of key performance indicators (KPIs) and visually compelling strategy maps. Users frequently praise its intuitive interface, which simplifies the complexities of strategic alignment and performance monitoring. The software's ability to cascade high-level strategies into departmental and individual goals ensures a cohesive approach to achieving organizational targets. With strong features for creating customized dashboards, generating insightful reports, and managing initiatives, BSC Designer proves to be a valuable asset for managers and strategy professionals seeking to drive performance and maintain a clear line of sight on their strategic goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BSC Designer?

While a powerful strategic planning tool, BSC Designer is not without its drawbacks, primarily concerning user experience, cost, and technical limitations. The software's interface can be overwhelming for new users, presenting a notable learning curve that may hinder initial adoption. Furthermore, its pricing model can be a significant barrier for smaller organizations, and the free version is highly restrictive in terms of the number of KPIs, scorecards, and users it supports. Finally, some users have reported minor technical glitches and potential difficulties in seamlessly integrating the software with other existing third-party systems, which could require additional development resources to overcome.

"An Excellent Tool for Managing Strategy in Nonprofits"
What do you like best about BSC Designer?

As a nonprofit organization, managing our strategy and performance effectively is key to maximizing our impact. This is especially true for grant-making institutions like ours, where transparency and alignment with strategic goals are essential.

BSC Designer has been a great support in this journey. It helped us structure our strategy, define clear objectives, and assign responsibilities across teams. The platform is intuitive, user-friendly, and flexible — even our non-technical staff were able to use it confidently.

We especially appreciate the ability to decentralize data entry while maintaining control and oversight, which improved engagement across departments.

The support team has also been outstanding — responsive, helpful, and truly understanding of nonprofit needs.

Highly recommended for any nonprofit aiming to bring structure and clarity to their strategic planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BSC Designer?

While the platform is generally stable and reliable, we did encounter a few minor technical issues. However, their technical support team was exceptionally responsive and resolved every issue in record time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and user-friendly enough to be indispensable in every company."
What do you like best about BSC Designer?

Its interface can be a bit overwhelming at first. However, when you take the time to watch the tutorials on the web the use of this working tool becomes very enjoyable and customizable. Thus, it has the necessary restrictions so as not to fall into setting the wrong metrics and at the same time gives you the freedom to set up another measurement structure. I love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BSC Designer?

One of the details that I found less appealing about the application was the difficulty we can have in establishing a consistent meter in the right panel, since many times I have placed a range where the performance metric is on track, but since it is a margin reduction benefit the tachometer goes haywire.

Using BSC designer for the first time has been very empowering. In the process of supporting my organisation develop a strategic plan, I found BSC Designer the most appropriate tool to use to have a systematic approach to developing the strategic plan. The tools provided and the tips, especially the options of frameworks to use during formulation of the strategy like PESTEL, SWOT, OKR was exceptionally helpful. The comparison table also helped me chose the most appropriate and applicable for my organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very good tool"
What do you like best about BSC Designer?

I liked it because it helps a lot to simplify and teach things, I am starting to use it to present our KPIs and thus identify areas for improvement, it is very graphic and gives me many options in terms of exporting data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BSC Designer?

What I feel they could improve is maybe the interface, at the beginning it does not feel very friendly and you have to be looking for the how to do some things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
