It has made my life so easy as i need to prepare a analytical transparency report every month and this shows the data with graphs and everything Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Though it ia a very good app but if someone is using it for the first time, it is very complicated for them as it's not that user friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Happy customer since 2003"

5/5

What do you like best about Stratum?

Users have easy access to the data and can create views to analyze by drilling down and up, viewing the data from many dimensions. Silvon Software was the only vendor that showed us how Stratum (called DataTracker way back then) met all of our sales and marketing reporting requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stratum?

There are limitations to the number of dimensions and attributes related to those dimensions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stratum solving and how is that benefiting you?

Executives and sales managers closely analyze and compare the current year's budget, sales, and open orders with prior year sales and open orders. They pay close attention to month-to-date sales (even by the day) to ensure we meet our budgeted sales goal amounts. Call campaigns or shipping schedules can be adjusted as needed.

"Platform is intuitive and user friendly. Amazing team to work with!"

5/5

What do you like best about Stratum?

Web-based and no extra log-in password.

Always welcome users' feedback.

Staff are very helpful and work closely with their customers.

Continuous learning experience (webinars) and software/enhancements updates Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stratum?

Limitation on the View appearance - even with the latest updates. Let's say if I just want headers to be a different color (not the entire column).

Help, search function - not returning specific topic (probably because it is using keyword search, too many topics return). Very discouraging, I often spend more than 5 min using search and still not able to find what I need.

Example looking for V7.3 video. I went to "Video" / "Video Listing" - don't see V7.3 available. Then I go to "Help" / typed in V7.3 video, too many items populated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Does what it does well, but not much else."

3/5

What do you like best about Stratum?

It is robust enough in that if configured correctly, it will not have any failures or downtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stratum?

Nonexistent data visualization and steep learning curve for end users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Stratum:

Consider some more costly alternatives. I honestly believe that Stratum is great for the price point, but more expensive tools can truly empower your team and be administered easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stratum solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Stratum to look at open orders and actual sales. Stratum is great for comparing YTD/YOY figures and realizing trends and growth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Useful but not powerful"

3/5

What do you like best about Stratum?

Copy to clipboard feature is easy to use. Exporting to Excel with formatting takes longer and can crash the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stratum?

Limited to tiers of rows, not lots of attributes like I want to run. Hard to run multiple metrics in same report, especially if you're looking to edit the fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Stratum:

I would look at more powerful tools like Microstrategy first that have more dynamic features such as adding as many columns/rows as you want. This is limited to the reports you build and are difficult to edit if you want to add multiple measures in the same report by week. It's a decent alternative and you get used to it, but I would prefer something more powerful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stratum solving and how is that benefiting you?

This tool is needed for sales analysis and reconciling customer metrics. It is the only took available at this workplace for running POS data so we have to make it work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
