Every single time we call them and we ask for advice or help, they go above and beyond and it's really made us appreciate what they do."

So there is so much adding when you are trying to connect it with your service because you have to do a lot of repetition writing a new intent, putting it step by set so it is good to escape. I believe it should be flexible and dedicate the intents based on the relating and to write a lesser code when doing that."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
"There is no notification from the company regarding upgrades."
