"We think Covalent's fantastic! As a council we have in the past, and would in future, recommend Covalent to other potential users. It fits all of our performance management needs and the product is constantly developing and adapting in line with its market, so as a customer you experience consistent improvement in a product that was good to start with. For me, the one thing that makes Covalent products stand out is the value placed on the customer, and on customer feedback. Also, the willingness to adapt your product to user needs. Each customer is treated as individual and I think this is very important."
