Excellent!
Overall my experience has been great. I have not had any complaints from submitters or reviewers about their user experience.
PROSYou can make changes to submissions as long as the submission period is still open (not a feature you normally see). If there are any exceptions the tool allows you to open it just for a specific person. Submission and review status' are updated real time on the site. The tool allows you to customize reviewer metrics to assign people or it can be manual. Reviewers will get an email notification that they've been assigned. Has blind and double blind settings. Users can customize and assign roles so certain people can only access and view assigned tasks. Reporting is tied into email system so you don't have to manually enter or check off any emails or names.
CONSNo automatic emails. Cannot customize colors, only the top banner.

BEST CMRS EVER
Great product. Much easier to use than other system I've tried!
PROSIt integrates so easily with our phone system and company updates. Everything is so smooth! And anything that needs fixing, the system lets us know
CONSNothing! From in system email usage, integration to our birthday system to send out cards to all clients, everything is wonderful!
Reason for choosing Catalyst
I'm unsure of the names of the products we used, but we tried a few that were just bad within the first few minutes.

Recent Updates leave App at Lower Quality
Overall, I am thoroughly disappointed in the lack of progress that app has made over the last five years.
PROSAs a board certified behavior analyst using this platform to track client behavior data and program, this software is excellent as it does all the graphing for you. I love the desktop version and all the features.
CONSI have used Catalyst for almost five years, as a technician collecting and as an analyst opening/closing programs. Their have been several updates that have made this system significantly less user friendly and have made it much more difficult for the techs I manage to use. The app no longer displays the number of targets. Therefore, techs are no longer displayed a number if there are items in baseline and maintenance. Since the update, I have notice a significant decline in maintenance targets being completed. Techs are also unaware unless specifically told to complete baseline. Technicians must now going to settings to know if there is daily maintenance, weekly, bi weekly on monthly. Target settings for maintenance no longer obviously display targets left to run, but continue to display targets that have already been targeted. The app works HORRIBLY with Samsung tablets. Technicians are not able to exit the app without the app crashing. The app crash numerous times through out session. Fetching trial data often displays incorrect data. A tech ran this three times in a row and the numbers fluctuated up and down with each fetch. Targets may not go into the app immediately after being opened. I have experienced targeted that are "closed" or "on hold" popping in and out of current targets. Overall, I am thoroughly disappointed in the lack of progress that app has made over the last five years.

Teaching with Catalyst
Positive and convenient. I look forward to getting better and more efficient at using it.
PROSI like Catalyst installed on our tablets, so we can see the programs/trials for each student, and record the data as we work with the students.
CONSWe have 4 tablets in the classroom. We rotate our students to centers with different staff at each center. The tablets must follow each student to record all the current data for the day. The data will not record and show on each tablet for each student.

Catalyst: An Unreliable Data Collection System
Catalyst has overall been a nightmare to work with.
PROSThe set up on a desktop is ascetically pleasing.
CONSThe website/app is down and inoperable 40% of the time. The support staff is rarely helpful and the data often does not sync so our data team must manually enter each goal and each target.
Reason for choosing Catalyst
Catalyst is more BCBA friendly than CentralReach and it is much more inexpensive.

Mixed feelings
I like how easy it is to graph and download the graphs to attach to client reports. This is feature is much easier than other software I have used. It is also easy to switch through clients. This software is more functional on the computer.
CONSI do not like the phone application. My biggest complaint for both myself and supervisees under me, is taking data on program goals with the app because the number of trials is not clearly visible. The app only indicates completed trials by a green line but it does not indicate number of trials making it difficult to keep track of required trials to run through a session.

Great tool for data collection
Catalyst is a great tool for data collection and graphing. The graphing options allow for optimal analysis and update live as data is being recorded. I love how details can be added to target goals to ensure staff know exact expectations.
CONSThe software takes a while to sync for users once updates are made from the administrative side.

Catalyst is always consistent even regardless of version
In general each user will find Catalyst to be well worth the effort, time and money. While there are many platforms that can set reviewers to analyze emails and find privileged information, you will be hard pressed to find another program that has been so consistent. Catalyst is dependable and you will love it!
PROSI love the consistency that Catalyst provides to the user/reviewer at my law services firm. For over ten years I have worked on numerous versions of Catalyst and each time the program always delivers high speed review screens, loading data and moving our reviews at a nice pace that does not slow my team down.
CONSOf course each version is different and years ago the software would allow for so much of the email to be seen at once. Lately Catalyst has improve the screen visually with making fonts and the communication of the message more easy to read. The program each year is always improving which is a good sign of a developed program.

Dumpster fire
Imagine slowly freezing to death. If you are a ABA professional considering Catalyst RUN AWAY.
PROSNone. This product should be taken out back and put out of its misery.
CONSNo data integrity. Laughably bad support and up time.
