		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Speedy, Easy to implement, affordable to run, great support. Will use browser less to grab previews of content which we include in our application. The IPO is really fast to respond and allows us to pull in relevant data which is easy to manipulate as we need. Cons There’s nothing not to like really. Precise could be a factor for some, but it’s doubtful!
