“Great program for Project Management and Procurement.”
Pros
Great customer service. It's nice to speak directly to developers, and issues are usually resolved quickly. The system is intuitive and simple.
Cons
Some reports could be better. It's tough to use for forced account type contracts because it's too complex. Cost codes don't show up immediately for some transaction types.
