Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Independent research methodology

I'm extremely happy with the SuccessionNow planning solution

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.
