"User friendly tool to bring the whole organisation on the journey"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Cascade?

+I have loved the collaborative nature of the tool. Having a space where a whole team can record their progress and have visibility over the work has been great.

+The ability to develop and use different snapshots to report to a range of audiences means no duplication.

+The reassurance that you are creating and referring back to one source of truth.

+The customer support is next level, we have been back and forth refining the reports and it is always done quickly and efficiently. Having someone to collaborate with to develop what the organisation has been so valuable to getting the maximum output.

+The ability to integrate with our financial software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

+Some of the language that is built into the reports/data presentation, in particular for the financial report doesn't always work for not-for-profit.

+ Some of the more complex measures we chose were limited in how they can be displayed and monitored. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Strong and dynamic tool for aligning a complex academic health system."
5/5
What do you like best about Cascade?

Cascade is extremely effective at aligning tactics all the way up to the system level. Here at University of Maryland Medical System, we recently rolled out our system-wide strategic framework that each of the 8 "member organizations" align to, and this tool is great at qualitatively aligning and building out actionable strategies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

Cascade lacks in its quantitative and metric reporting abilities. At our hospitals, we like to visualize and trend out metric scorecards, and Cascade does not provide a "one-stop shop" for our users to update metrics in an easy way, as we are still having to enter metrics into an excel document. The day we can house and work solely out of Cascade will be the day I am fully sold on Cascade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Strategic Planning with Cascade"
5/5
What do you like best about Cascade?

The best thing is being able to connect with our representative from Cascade to help us become more efficient in the strategic planning four our healthcare organization. They are very supportive and have great ideas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

The only downside to cascade would be how my team members forget how to make updates on Cascade because they only do so quarterly. Maybe they could have popups with tips that show when a user navigates through the site frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing experience with lots of guidance and help from staff!"
5/5
What do you like best about Cascade?

The staff are so helpful and make the app so much more usable. Danielle Latimore was my Customer Success Manager and she was fantastic. She came to our meetings prepared and organized, and she had a solution for every question or problem. Danielle went out of her way to check in after I started onboarding our staff to the app to see if there was any feedback or hurdles she could help me with. The team and constant support and advice from Danielle made using Cascade an excellent experience for myself and my company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

Sometimes the app doesn't update until you refresh it. Sometimes some minor changes made wouldn't update in the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cascade Review"
5/5
What do you like best about Cascade?

The availability of Jamie Perkins to assist in explaining the features and benefits of the software. Additionally, the usefulness of the tool for the applications that I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

I only dislike the lack of a "whiteboard" working space for group discussions. Adding this would help our conversations even more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Game-changing Strategy Software with Unparalleled Customer Service"
5/5
What do you like best about Cascade?

Cascade provides our organization with a level of transparency we've never experienced before. Traditionally siloed teams have insight into what other groups are working on, facilitating a new level of engagement and cross-team collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

The only downside of Cascade is there's nowhere to hide! Full transparency exposes your areas of stagnation or little growth (which honestly is positive). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Allows us to report to multiple stakeholders and implement the strategy"
5/5
What do you like best about Cascade?

I like the flexibility of the system which allows me to report up to the Executive team and the Board, while at the same time operationalising our strategy. We can also prepare rpeorts for other senior stakeholders. This allows us to have appropriate governance and transparency in our work, with little or no additional burden. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cascade?

The product is still evolving, and so occasionally we find somethign we'd liek to do but can't. However the team are very responsive in addressing new ideas or providing useful work arounds. Very little I don't like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
