Its ease of use turns out to be something quite useful when wanting to carry out my research and analysis in a fairly simple way, the fact that everything is quite easy to configure and start turns out to be quite useful when wanting to take the steps...

Working with their support team is not what it used to be, rotating door of support personnel. Lack of roadmap and iteration, no longer visionary, cost is not worth it, unable to continue to support Roi of products value.
