I used iDSS at a Convention and Visitors Bureau for several years. I was in the marketing department, and we used it to track all of our advertising, tasks, spend, and member information. I know the sales team used it for much more. I felt like it was very clunky. I don't know if it could have been better had we had it programmed to fit the way we wanted to use it. We switched to a competitor when we decided to get a new website and branding - decided to replace the iDSS internal system as well, so the new systems were all through the same company and talked to each other. The new company informed us that the way iDSS was set up didn't make sense for how we should be tracking things - which caused a lot of trouble and confusion trying to get everything transferred to the new system correctly.
Bottom line, iDSS isn't terrible - we managed to make it work. However, I think there are easier platforms out there that are more intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I liked that I could tag Members/partners in our system to the artwork/projects I uploaded to allow me to run a report showing which Members were listed in advertising throughout the year. I believe many other similar systems do that too. I can't think of anything iDSS did that our new system didn't do as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
