## Reviews

### "Great Sofftware" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *17 July 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The Intuitive operation and the versatility of possibilities
> 
> **Cons**: The versatility of the software and the fact that it is constantly being developed further

### "Grassfish Road to V11" — 4.0/5

> **Pascal** | *16 July 2019* | Computer Hardware | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the versatility of the Grassfish CMS, which can cover many different needs. It is also remarkable how stable Grassfish runs over several years without major problems.&#10;&#10;Furthermore, I find it remarkable how the CMS has improved in the last four years. From the cumbersome Flash based CMS to a light-footed HTML application that makes working with the software on a daily basis a lot easier.
> 
> **Cons**: The least I like the amount of player types that are not actively developed further. For example, the Javascript Player, these were very popular and now they are still in version 10. Also, there was no new software and instructions for the LGWebOS 3.2, which I believe not yet officially supportet is. I wish that in the future, these are our players / our direction and these are always supported and further developed.
> 
> I started working with Grassfish at the age of eighteen without any prior knowledge of how this software works or is built. Now you start with small steps and get bigger, 5 years later, we program our own HTML spots, set up our own server, help partners build a CMS and build an experience. For us Grassfish has replaced our old cumbersome solution and created a new multifunctional solution.

### "Great CM" — 5.0/5

> **Daniel** | *23 August 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - Features for running large notworks with a lot of clients&#10;- Possiblity to create trees in location / media etc. and customize every aspect on tree level&#10;- Use of categories&#10;- UDC mechanism
> 
> **Cons**: - Missing feature: Export of current view (esp. locations) as csv/xls (we developed our own tool as we need this feature for reportings on a daily level)&#10;- Missing feature: Timetable for scheduling content (for our internal use, not necessary, but we have lost some projects as customes were expecting this feature)&#10;- Testing capabilites are limited (it would be great to avoid delivering test players to customers in order to validate content changes - current mechanisms are not sufficient for our customer needs)
