## Reviews

### "Great tool for cost negotiation" — 5.0/5

> **Cassandra** | *17 November 2020* | Airlines/Aviation | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the ability to modify details the VPEs and processes to more accurately model unique processes and specific features of complex parts. I also like how aPriori very clearly indicates which features are driving your overall cost, through the cost breakdown and part summary. When discussing parts with engineering and with suppliers, it is incredibly useful to be able to drill down to specific operations and have discussions around tangible times and costs. It is also very helpful to distinguish between cycle time and setup time as this helps to highlight part volume as a cost driver.
> 
> **Cons**: The software sometimes has difficulty adjusting to different monitor resolutions (especially very high resolution monitors which use a default zoom) which results in menus being cut off and difficult to navigate ( I am able to resolve this by changing my monitor resolution when using aPriori). 
Also, more of a knit-picky complaint, but I have a difficult time thinking in seconds, so having things like cycle time displayed in seconds requires me to do some mental math to conceptualize the amount of time spent on each operation. Both of these cons are greatly outweighed by the value provided by the software and overall really aren't problems at all.

### "UI & UX Should be better with multi-tasking" — 3.0/5

> **Akshay** | *19 September 2023* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The auto-formulated modules that are available for costing of a particular product to get Design Cost
> 
> **Cons**: Multi-Tasking is not available, editing name of file cannot be done, logs out automatically (need settings for that), very slow response rate most of the times (slow) even with fast internet, high loading time

-----

### "General Review" — 4.0/5

> **Aliki** | *07 November 2023* | Semiconductors | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The variety of tools that’s offered. Having the cloud software is very helpful for cross functional groups
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes lots of changes need to be made and they are not always intuitive
