I mainly use the outbound and volume index. But now that you can look up rates - it's excellent. The fact that you can zone in on specific markets is priceless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SONAR?

I used to get a market update email showing high-level bullet points that I could share with my customers. I did not receive this information for DEC or JAN. I hate it when a good thing you rely on goes away. :( Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
