Software Advice offers objective insights based on verified user reviews and independent product and market research. When our advisors match you to a software provider, we may earn a referral fee.

How Software Advice ensures transparency

Software Advice lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.

How Software Advice verifies reviews

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

Researchers at Software Advice use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

Robust but expensive software

Chameleon has always been great to work with. Support is always great and more than willing to help teach the user/designer not only how to use the software but how to analyze the data.

Functionality

Pros:

It runs great reports IF you can figure out how to input all of the info and train everyone to input the info-not an easy task, especially with no manual

Cons:

Not user friendly, very specific- have an animal with an unusual name? If not spelled right, no animal shows up. Forget an animals name? Sorry- you can't look it up. Or maybe you can, we were given 1 week of training with installation- but no training manual. During the 1 week, we had no idea what questions too ask. Our shelter bought it, then quit using it, due to complicity with no support.

Good Uses, expensive product

Chameleon is one of many Shelter management software programs. It is expensive and a large program. It has many good features and can be used in the field by the officers or in the the shelter by the staff or both. Finding support for questions is hard unless you are paying for it. It is not an easy program to learn, but once you master, it is a great program, packed with features.
