We are spending half of what we previously did for our last review manager, and getting 100x more out of it! I honestly am amazed at what we are getting for the price. I wish we had switched to EmbedReviews years ago.

Great intuitive interface – our team had no difficulties figuring out how everything worked, without online training or whatsoever. Great support – I was in touch with a support manager Alex throughout the implementation, to understand how to better use the tool for our purpose. He was always helpful and quick to reply. What’s more, he helped us to export the submissions at a specific date / hour for further processing.
