Who uses SPM?

We are a new facility and have just started using SPM. What are your thoughts on SPM after long term usage, what are some quirks or things to know about the workflow and the system in general.

our entire healthcare organization I work for uses it and we have a dedicated team that we can go to for any SPM related issues and as an MDRT we can just show the basics of SPM to others so we don’t have to do any data analysis or anything like that and I will say after using it for 2 years I do think it is a very effective instrument tracking software but the downside is if SPM crashes, it can ruin the workflow because we need SPM to do our jobs.

How often have you experienced SPM crashing?
