Accolade Likes & Dislikes

Like

It has the most user-friendly interface over the other tools I have used for group project management and its data reporting feature is very handy for managing data reports and monitoring project progress, KPIs, and other indicators.

Like

Object-oriented relationship database to store data and communicate innovation plans, improved GUI, reporting system

Like

It makes it easy to define the pillars, objectives, actions and measurables that enable us to capture key aspects of what we want to achieve with our strategy. I like that the tool effectively keeps the whole organization on track to delivering on our strategy by holding teams accountable to their aligned objectives, projects and outcomes.

Dislike

It I compare this tool with some of its competitors, I would say this tool should support a wider number of third party integrations.

Dislike

Roadmapping can be improved

Dislike

The flexibility of the tool makes it a little bit complicated to understand initially, however with experimentation and experience it becomes easy to understand and use.
