## Reviews

### "Really Helps Me to Schedule" — 5.0/5

> **Brian** | *19 February 2019* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use, very robust features, and allows customization.
> 
> **Cons**: I wish it had the ability to print images I add to the notes.
> 
> I use smartQ to schedule production jobs in my print shop.  It does everything I need to provide a visual aid to my production schedule and allows me to track jobs through each step.  The custom fields enable me to customize the tasks to match my production needs.

-----

### "Exceptional Product and Exceptional Value" — 5.0/5

> **Jeff** | *10 December 2019* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use and customization.  Drag and drop interface. Email notifications. Intuitive visual layout.
> 
> **Cons**: Limited archiving capabilities. Limited flexibility to delete or change certain components of tickets. However the product is constantly evolving to improve and mitigate the challenges.
> 
> The software is essential for organizing and working our development tickets. We have been able to customize it to adapt to our constantly evolving processes and controls.

-----

### "Straightforward and easy to use." — 4.0/5

> **Sydney** | *29 September 2020* | Wine & Spirits | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The user interface is straightforward and makes it easy to get a bird's eye view of all of our projects, and filter by status or project type. The comments on each ticket are easy to use and make communicating with team members easy.
> 
> **Cons**: There are frequently issues/delays in uploading large files to tickets, sometimes with the request timing out before the upload is completed, forcing me to start over several times uploading design documents or photos.

-----

### "Best product for the price" — 5.0/5

> **Jeff** | *6 October 2020* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ability to customize, layout, ability to export for reporting integration. Simple and powerful.
> 
> **Cons**: There is no deficiencies with this software
> 
> All positive. With the ability to customize and the introduction of new features and expanded capabilities, the software has allowed us to scale our operations, improve efficiency and meet customer demands for compliance.

-----

### "SmartQ User Experience" — 4.0/5

> **Tony** | *19 February 2019* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It has an easy and user-friendly interface with drag and drop features so that tickets can be easily tracked. I also like how we receive email notifications with the URL links. It makes it easier to navigate to the tickets and read through the comments.
> 
> **Cons**: When we (the administrators) manually create tickets for a requestor, it does not send automatic email notifications to the intended recipient. Rather, we have to send the email via Outlook, and have to make sure to attach the emails to the ticket for auditing purposes.
> 
> Overall, I've never experienced any major issues with smartQ\! It makes my day-to-day tasks much easier just from looking at the home page.  I would recommend smartQ for all project teams needing to implement a visualization/work-flow.
