The detailed data it provides with so much ease which otherwise is pretty difficult to collect is commendable. Due to this, actionable insights are gathered faster and with much ease.

The documentation is not helpful. There were instances where I had to experiment and learn through trial and error to understand configurations. Despite encountering some implementation problems their support services proved to be cumbersome.
