## Reviews

### "Easy to use, even for a newbie" — 5.0/5

> **Adrienne** | *20 January 2023* | Design | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I saw this software demonstrated at an online accessibility conference and purchased it when I was asked by a friend to do a site audit for her client. The features have continued to improve and be easier to use and more tailored to individual situations.
> 
> **Cons**: I haven't had enough experience using this software to know the limitations, nor do I have experience with any other software for comparison.

-----

### "Essential tool for digital design" — 5.0/5

> **Courtney** | *1 February 2023* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Deque is the most thorough reference guide when it comes to researching accessibility best-practices.
> 
> **Cons**: I don’t have enough time to read more of it.

### "A good software to identify accessibility issues (via browser plugin)" — 4.0/5

> **Tushar** | *26 September 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - Axe devtools can be used through the browser plugin (I use the one that is available for Google Chrome)&#10;- These devtools can identify any existing a11y (accessibility) issues with the current page or part of the current page. Example of such issue is a missing aria-label on a button in the page, or lack of contrast between text and its background color&#10;- This tool is handy when we work on a new feature on the UI, and want to know if our code is generating an accessibility issue. This will generate a report for you to look at all the accessibility issues in the page/part of the page, along with suggestions hinting at how to fix those issues
> 
> **Cons**: - Without subscribing for the paid version, you cannot scan part of the page (you can scan the entire page though). This is a little less helpful in a situation when part of the page is owned by a different team and that part already has existing a11y issues&#10;- It could be difficult to pinpoint exactly which element the a11y issue is coming from, because there is a lack of visual hint regarding the list of issues and the place where the relevant template element is
> 
> Overall, a good software, but could be better

### "Provides exactly what I need without absurdly expensive extras." — 5.0/5

> **Michael** | *30 August 2023* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Provides trustworthy accessibility information at its most up-to-date. Easy to use, provides both a useful summary for describing issues to others, and detailed technical information for implementation. Has a reasonable pricing model that doesn't assume I'm an enterprise if I'm a developer.
> 
> **Cons**: Chrome is required; doesn't work within other browsers which can somewhat limit browser testing.
> 
> Accessibility is a weird space with many players that simply can't deliver on promises. Deque produces the open-source engine many other systems use. Other providers claim to solve problems that are too complicated to be automated away. Deque instead shows you how to resolve issues at the source. I trust the results I get from Deque, and know that solving issues with this tool provides a better long-term result.

### "Deque review" — 5.0/5

> **na** | *20 January 2023* | Fund-Raising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: wholistic support, cutting edge, easy to use
> 
> **Cons**: None, but I am being forced to write something
