## Reviews

### "Gestión de fondos de inversión" — 4.0/5

> **Pedro** | *15 January 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Me ha parecido una herramienta muy fácil de usar y con unas opciones muy interesantes, como la posibilidad de creación informes bastante detallados, así como su módulo de contabilidad, que es bastante completo.
> 
> **Cons**: El único punto débil que se podría reseñar es la integración con las herramientas de backoffice de terceras partes, creo que en este punto la plataforma podría mejorar un poco.
> 
> He utilizado la plataforma mientras trabaja en un proyecto relacionado con la gestión de carteras y fondos de inversión, en general la experiencia de uso ha sido bastante positiva.
