Some of the functionalities are broken. It is necessary to be more appealing, similar to Google Tag Manager (GTM), and data migration is highly challenging. Other than that, it's quite good at tracking data. the labelling of each component. We had to categorize automobile parts that were and upsell to the regular goods while building out a personalized auto because there are roughly 20 different models of autos.
