I find Orbus Software incredibly intuitive and easy to use, even for the most uninitiated user. The user interface is exceptionally good, which makes it easy for anyone to use the software meaningfully. I really like its native Microsoft integrations, such as with Azure, SharePoint, and other Microsoft enterprise applications and solutions, which integrate quite seamlessly. The visualizations and reports from Orbus Software are absolutely brilliant and allow us to share critical, meaningful information to large audiences with ease.

Its integration with the Microsoft suite of tools gives us a consistent interface on a high-performing platform. By using Orbus as a “source of truth,” while still leveraging familiar interfaces for senior management and individual contributors, we’ve been able to cut down on duplication and depend on fewer overlapping tools. This helps reduce our total cost of ownership and, in turn, improves our ROI.
