Cristina Neri - PeerSpot reviewer
Cheaply-priced and does not require much customizations
It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten. At the moment, the tool functions quite well for our needs. Around five people use the tool. In the future, my company might plan to increase the use of the solution. Currently, all the sales people in our company use the product.
SigfridCecillon - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable and offers helpful technical support but is expensive
The implementation process was very easy since it's a cloud solution. It's already installed by the provider. We just have to populate the data into the product, and that process is not very complex. That said, we have noticed it is missing some data regarding, for example, currency, and a few other things. The deployment itself took one month or so. I did it mostly alone and with the help of my engineer. I did about ten days of work, and then another ten with the engineer.
