Outdated, hard to develop for, and buggy. Not a fan.

Comments: Software has a lot of great features but could use some work regarding how intuitive it is to use. Have had a significant amount of technical glitches and it seems that something always needs to be fixed with the system. Overall, it is better than what we had but I will continue to look for other options.
Pros: The proofing system works well for users.
Cons:
Very glitchy.
Not intuitive.
A lot of steps and buttons to click through to get to one point. Seems like this could have been consolidated.
No easy way to run reports. Very confusing set up.
Despite having the dashboard up and open on my computer, it constantly times out. No easy way to log back in. Have to click through a bunch of error buttons, then close the whole thing down. Then open it back up and log back in. Happens 3-4 times daily. Have contacted support about this but never any response.
Comments: It allows us to keep track of all kinds of info about our products. These are mainly religious trade books. It also allows us to track the status of each product as it moved toward completion, and integrates with Microsoft Reporting Services to make decent reports.
Pros: It does come preconfigured with some tables and forms that give you a place to start, so you're not starting from scratch. I also like the fact that email notifications are built into the system, and there's a fairly easy to use GUI used to create the conditions for when notifications should be sent.
Cons: As an IT person tasked with administering and developing for this platform, I found it very difficult to use. Creating anything of value beyond simple fields on a form requires knowledge of their own variant of JavaScript called MetaScript. There is limited and poor documentation on this, even when doing a Google search. When calling tech support we rarely got good answers. We have also been told by the developer of this software that they didn't even support end-users (like the IT staff at our company) doing their own development for it. By development I mean creating tables, fields, and forms, and making a useful database out of it, to keep track of certain data.
