## Reviews

### "Pretty intuitive to use" — 5.0/5

> **Ellie** | *29 September 2021* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use and get help with training or requests. simple layouts. Has most features that I need every day and I like that updates come out frequently.
> 
> **Cons**: There are some tools that don't have full functionality that I'd like. We don't quite have the money to pay for many users so we have not utilized the full scope of the reporting/costing side of PLM.
> 
> Pretty great\!

### "Still Learning" — 5.0/5

> **Marly** | *11 October 2021* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: In general, I feel this software is user friendly - it has a well designed user interface that both looks good and is clear and easy to navigate. I really like that this software utilizes images along with information in its catalogues like Components and Palettes. As a designer, the visuals make it easy to use and reference at a glance what different trims, colorways, etc. look like. Importing images from other programs like Adobe Illustrator is also extremely easy - an issue I've had with other programs.
> 
> **Cons**: I am still learning how to use it, and so far haven't come across many cons yet.
> 
> In general, I am still learning this software and just starting to use it - but so far it has been great and a major improvement to the systems I have used at my current and former companies before. I'm extremely excited to continue to use Backbone, as I feel it will make it tremendously easy to stay organized and for various team members to access the same products.

### "Good Software But has Some Kinks" — 3.0/5

> **rosina** | *28 September 2021* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the layout and easy to locate icons for what you need to upload in regards to our products. I also love that large images can be added to show our detailed product.
> 
> **Cons**: The Bill of Materials can be daunting as adding components requires more of a manual process. It would be nice to copy over those components across the pages without having to add variants to the components in order to do this. It would also be nice if we can create comments or feedback/revisions by color and not solely by style. So we can then filter the colors that are still in need of corrections before heading to production.
> 
> Great\! \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\]  has been extremely helpful with getting our onboarding up and running. We are still going through a lot of the features and will hopefully master getting our products set up the way we need them.

### "Great Software" — 5.0/5

> **Danielle** | *8 October 2021* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the ease of use of this software and how it integrates with the current workflows we already had established. I also really like that they are constantly adding features and listening to their users about ways to make the platform better.
> 
> **Cons**: Right now, tech pack generation is time consuming and repetitive. If there is one error you have to regenerate the whole tech pack after the error is fixed, even if it is still within the same parameters as the previously generated tech pack.
> 
> I have had a great experience with Backbone software and team. They are supportive and help with integration as much as you need. They help recommend ways to better utilize their system and customer service is very responsive.

### "Great for Product Design" — 4.0/5

> **Sarah** | *28 September 2021* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: For my design uses, Backbone is great for creating construction details and entering size specs. There is little need to jump back and forth between illustrator and PLM since you can add and delete construction callouts right on the PLM system.
> 
> **Cons**: There have been quite a number of bugs our team has experienced with the system. Specifically with size specs information not saving immediately and item master functionality
