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.

"It is a decent price compared to multiple vendors and products available in the market."
"In terms of cost, the product offers competitive pricing for its feature set."
"The tool is a bit on the expensive side if we purchase it individually."
"It is more expensive than other vendors."

"The product's licensing is straightforward. It's user-based, so you decide how many users you want to license, and that's it. On the value-for-money scale, it's average. You do get what you pay for, so I wouldn't call it expensive."
