Gazebo

Pros: It offers an easy way for teams to collaborate. With the visual nature of being able to use post-its and other icons to gives it a good modern feel and a bit more similar to being together in a boardroom.

Cons: I am still not totoally sold on the amount of info on one screen. It seems like an option to change screen view so you could view different sections at select times would be better than just zooming in and out and scrolling around. I had a bigger issue with this at first but as I use it more it is less of an issue.

Pros: We use it to track our ONM projects for Energy trust, SEM program. I have only used it to collaborate with my SEM coach.

Cons: I would like to be able to pull reports on the ONM projects that are completed or ones that need to be completed so that I can print them and get them into my work order management system. But at this point, I don’t know how to do that.

Pros: A very intuitive platform for managing multiple energy savings projects. It provides all team members easy access to update and monitor projects.

Cons: I really don't know of any cons although there were a couple of tabs that we didn't use so they really didn't need to be there.

Pros: Easy to use. Makes collaboration with the team simple. Reporting and data management are intuitive. Gazebo may improve my experience over time.

Cons: The initial set-up was a bit cumbersome, requiring IT involvement before I could get access. This may have been due more to company policy than Gazebo.

Pros: The platform is easily accessible from all kinds of devices, loads fast and consistently, and its navigation is intuitive. The visualization and tracking of the projects is very helpful, and at a glance, you can get the impact your projects are having.

Cons: It would be nice if the platform had integration with other management platforms (Project Management, BAS, ES Portfolio Manager). Having the system send notifications of late or needed actions would be good. Finally, it would be nice to be able to print a report to share with the different stakeholders.

Pros: It is easy to use and a convenient place to collect energy use information. Because everything is in one central location it makes accessing information easy.

Cons: I can't think of any negative issues using Gazebo. For the work I do with Gazebo I have not had any issues I could not overcome.

Pros: Gazebo supports team collaboration and data management related to our energy cost and usage. Custom reporting features are helpful and it is easy to use.

Cons: Gazebo's usefulness seems highly dependent on paired services. Although features are easy to use, without paired services or advanced internal expertise there would be limited value to our organization.

Pros: Gazebo has a user friendly lay out and is easy to navigate. Makes team collaborations easy and required very little tutorial.

Cons: I have not found myself frustrated with any aspect of Gazebo. There aren't any negatives that stick out to me.

Pros: Very user friendly and easy to navigate. The reports are great and seeing the charting of information is great. Has really helped with managing projects

Cons: Have not come across anything that has led me to have a negative experience yet. Everything has worked as expected

Pros: Gazebo is a great tool that we are using to manage all of our energy projects across our Portfolio! The entire team can review progress, see potential energy savings and cost savings, and share updates. Our leadership loves that it is a one-stop shop to show needs and progress across the organization!

Cons: There is honestly nothing that I don't love about this platform and I can't wait to get our final site using it in August so that we can see every site in our organization!

Pros: We were tracking all of our projects and energy savings in an excel spreadsheet. We were able to transition quickly to Gazebo and it worked very well for us. We were able to get quick reports for presenting to management, able to easily roll up figures for annual cost savings, energy savings, etc. We were able to easily able to search the database for projects, and most importantly, could update it real time during meetings with various stakeholders. We adopted the system and allowed all of our users on site (maybe 20-30) to have access and they were able to easily update status to their projects. I really like the performance indication. It has a simple line graph showing the amount of reduction in power usage we are receiving compared to frontloaded expected energy usage. It has the ability to integrate electricity usage numbers into this model.

Cons: There were certain situations where things did not show up in drop downs as we were entering in data, but these issues were resolved quickly by their developers.

Pros: It allows us to be highly proactive in our energy management practices. It has great charts and capabilities to customize it how you want. It can help with project management and visually appealing charts for management to understand energy use. The electricity breakouts are particularly impressive as you can isolate individual processes/production lines in conjunction with sophisticated energy modeling, which Cascade offers.

Cons: Nothing, it works well as long as your energy modeling is accurate. Cascade can help your company or business develop a great energy model for you to better understand how you use energy.
