It is (apart from the speed) quite unsophisticated. The entire model is geared to get you to pay more, more, more; which is a bit sad. Bug reports are countered with "we can only fix that on an enterprise server" (which is $1500+ per month).

Constructor is an easy and helpful tool to learn. Once implemented, the amount of information about individual customers and their behaviors is endless. I learn something new using it every time I log in!
