**Reviewed Date:** June 02, 2020

**What do you like best about Buxton?**

Training is required to use. Internet access is required.

Big price tag, but if data is key. I highly recommend.

  ### 3. Tons of great data in one easy location 

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2019

**What do you like best about Buxton?**

The report generated at the end of the search captures all of the data we require, and compiles it in a way that is easily digestible. Having a final “score” makes for a quick understanding of where a particular area lands on our desirability scale.

**What do you dislike about Buxton?**

I do wish that there was an option to see more in-depth info on how the final score was determined in some cases. 

**What problems is Buxton solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I haven’t had any problems other than it being slow to generate a report at times. We are benefiting tremendously from the quick access to potential customer demographics as it helps us determine our strategy moving forward. 

  ### 4. Provides easy-to use high-level overviews

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 20, 2018

**What do you like best about Buxton?**

I love the map feature and demographic data linked with Buxton - I used the service when looking at store performance and future site selection.

**What do you dislike about Buxton?**

I wish the interface would aggregate all store data into a list and summarize what the trends are for high-performing stores. Additionally, it would be great if Buxton's predictive analytics adapted to our store's actual level of success after following their model's suggestions.

**What problems is Buxton solving and how is that benefiting you?**

At Beall's, Inc. we were looking to new locations to expand a division of our stores. With Buxton's accurate forecasting, much of the guessing work was eliminated and we were able to make ventures into new markets with more confidence.
