It has been a great experience! No major complaints. Looking forward to continue building it all out.

Pros

The product is easy to use, and the customer support is a 10+. When inquiring about an update, the team gets right to work.

Cons

I can't say there are any cons. Maybe some refinement to the products for a better flow. Love the summary deck that can be run.

We were able to roll this out to our team easily thanks to their training sessions. Along the way we have had access to great support which helped us customize the program.

Pros

SuccessionNow has been easy to implement and easy to maintain. Their support is top tier. The customization options helped us make this our own. The reporting also helped with understanding the data and helping with our planning process.

Cons

I haven't had any complaints with the program. It's easy to use and our team has jumped right in. If anything, I would love to see more reports.

So far I am very happy with it. I am seeing it on more forums and also have posted about it. I wish I'd found it before spending hours on my company succession plan which was primarily spreadsheets and charts.

Pros

It is clearly very complex, but easy to use and manage. We are creating several more plans than expected due to the efficient and simple nature.

Cons

I was hoping it would visual organization chart for my company. According to the builders, that option is being added soon though.

Review source

Thank you for taking the time to review SuccessionNow. We definitely have plans to expand the capabilities of the program.
