The support team is technical and timely. Always ready to help with a new request. Unfortunately, a lot of our time is spent discussing how to build workarounds vs having those features integrated into the roadmap and delivered - but that's the nature of the beast. It is still the best tool that I am aware of to drive continuous risk management and compliance in a highly regulated environment.
