It doesn't have the prettiest layout and sometimes isn't that intuitive. I've had some weird issues with calendar invites.

Verified User in Telecommunications
I think the most helpful part about continu is that I have access to such a large variety of materials, and I can easily see my progress in real-time as it is updated

Verified User in Computer Software
Reporting function is very limited - you can only download a master csv file, not ability to Filter out and no dashboards. Also, when you have special characters in some fields report gets messed up.
