Its user interface is user friendly and intuitive allowing a new user to learn it relatively quickly. The front-end is relatively easy to navigate and the data is easily exportable to a number of useful formats. My Dashboard has a lot of useful information...

Ongoing support has been limited or not exactly what we need. Still working on improving "search terms" to make the tool fast and effective for front line representatives.
