CRITICAL

“Ongoing Administrative Demands and Rigid System Present Operational Challenges”

3.0
Jun 16, 2025
The overall experience with the system was okay. The system itself is manageable, but it is very rigid. The technical support team was not very responsive, and implementation required a lot of hands on work. There is a lot of administrative work in the background, requiring a lot of support on an ongoing basis. Continuous updates are also typically difficult to work around, as bugs are discovered in real-time

The technical support team, automated upgrades, and nickel and dime-ing for every change

Initial setup and customization options can feel unnecessarily complex due to the manner in which they are structured.
