Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros We didn’t use it in production, so limited evaluation. Initial onboarding calls were responsive though largely unnecessary in our use-case. Cons Name similarity caused purchasing confusion; verify vendor names before buying. Refund or refund-minus-services was declined after we halted deployment and requested itemization of “engineering time.” Onboarding leaned on vendor-led sessions rather than self-serve docs/videos, which would have sufficed in my opinion. UI felt dated and harder to operate than alternatives we evaluated.
