## Reviews

### "Successfuly rollout of our Strategy to Goals to Performance\!" — 5.0/5

> **Gene** | *December 5, 2025* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This tool allows us to transform our strategy into goals and then continuously monitor performance against those goals.
> 
> **Cons**: At first the pricing plans were a little confusing in regards to which plan we really needed.  In the end we settled with the Advanced plan to give us better Tech Support access and better access to leadership training.
> 
> While our team faced a bit of a learning curve coming from multiple tools to an integrated solution, with a few coaching sessions, we were able to get the tool up and running and we LOVE it.  I highly recommend this tool if you are not already using a fully integrated solution that allows you to transform your strategy into goals and effectively track progress through all levels of your team.

### "Inspire Software" — 5.0/5

> **TOm** | *October 23, 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's an indefensible tool for my personal productivity and performance.  I use it to start and end everyday.  It's my main planning and execution tool.  As a company CEO, Inspire gives us the ability to communicate our corporate strategy to the team and align the origination.  Everyone is focused and much more productive.
> 
> **Cons**: A few of the features could be streamlined.  A couple of the features are very deep.  Having the ability to turn them off or streamlining how they function would increase use and effectiveness across the team.
