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.
