Customer support is painfully slow to resolve issues. Reports generated are inaccurate, and the incompetence of customer support to resolve issues is causing internal setbacks and missed deadlines.

I tried it and the quota offered in the pricing is very low. The ease of use doesn't make me like the product when I know how much I will have to pay at the end of the month. Other solutions on the market are much cheaper and do the same job.
