That everything is at your fingertips and can be accessed very easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenGov Permitting & Licensing?

It may be an option the organization can pursue, but at this time, it would be nice if it incorporated the FEMA information and our GIS information, so everything was accessible from one page. As it is now, we have to use multiple pages to get the information needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Transformative Product for Our Organization"
5/5
What do you like best about OpenGov Permitting & Licensing?

It is a product that is concerned about the user experience and the simplicity of the design and customer interface help drive its use and adoption. The visual workflow tells customers and employees exactly where a permit is in the review process, and the ease of configuring new forms and making tweaks to the workflow allows us to continually improve the customer experience and our reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenGov Permitting & Licensing?

If there is a weakness (and that is a real "if") it is with reporting across different permit types. It is possible to do, but mostly by aggregating data in Excel after it is exported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
