Intuitive interface - it is easy to learn to use this product with reasonable proficiency. Responsive support when you need it - chat and phone. Flexibility provided by numerous integrations - lets you add functionality not offered by the primary program....

Always freezes. Super slow load time. Once it freezes, it is frustrating to have slow load time to get it up and running again. If it freezes, you are looking at a good 5 minutes just waiting to get back where you were.
