## Reviews

> 
> **Pros**: Powerful tools with tons of built in functionality for in depth quantitative analysis.
> 
> **Cons**: Its clunky to use and the lay out isn't best. There are many things that could be made more intuitive and less redundant.

-----

### "Backstop Review" — 5.0/5

> **Grace** | *16 September 2022* | Investment Management Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Backstop is intuitive and easy to use.
> 
> **Cons**: The reporting features sometimes seem a little complicated.

### "About average" — 2.0/5

> **matt** | *9 May 2019* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: not much - as far as a CRM goes, it is very much entry-level
> 
> **Cons**: its not easy to use...slow and UX from the 80's
> 
> compared to the likes of salesforce...you have to ask - why?

### "Backstop / InvestorBridge Review" — 4.0/5

> **Kevin** | *26 September 2018* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Having a cloud based CRM with not only the functionality to store qualitative but also quantitative information is extremely helpful especially as a member of the investor relations team who is constantly servicing investors.  Additionally, having the ability to have the CRM be the backdrop that feeds the investor portal is also great, having to only update one system saves time.  The professional services team has been extremely helpful as we continue to implement new features.
> 
> **Cons**: Like any software there are limitations however Backstop does a great job at taking feedback and creating new features from that.
> 
> My experience has been great thus far, the folks at Backstop have made the implementation process a breeze, they are always available for questions and assistance which is an invaluable part of being a Backstop client.
