## Radiance Reviews
  ### 1. Works as intended but limiting

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Building Materials | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2018

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

I like the wide variety of reports available to me. It's important to be able to get a look at a lot different info at once with this program

**What do you dislike about Radiance?**

While I like the reports, the learning curve to getting the reports to do what I want them to do has been huge. I wish there were more preloaded reports that could be easily tweaked for my needs. I dread having to train someone on reports. 

**Recommendations to others considering Radiance:**

It works it just takes a lot of implementation time to get it to do what you want. Lean on support and learn about everything they can do for you before deciding your path to implementation. I think it's easier to go bigger right away then to redo and add on. 

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

Our ETL flow has improved, I will say that. After signing on with Radiance, we realized we were much further behind than we thought we were. Radiance has brought a work flow that we really didn't know was possible based on our other applications we have to keep in mind.
