I really like their pricing and their UI! Also the fact that we only use one tool to run criminal background checks across numerous countries vs having to rely on local lawyer firms for each.

My main issue is just the accuracy issues we have been dealing with. The issues have caused a few customers to use their own software because ours hasn't been reliable. Results sometimes coming back clear in literally seconds
