"The web/mobile/portal integration was one of the features that we found most valuable, primarily because it reduced our development time."

"I think that it could be interesting to expand the eCommerce capabilities to the B2C sector."
"The solution is easy to install."

"The access control is definitely a good feature. We also appreciate the improvements they've made to the online applications, where multiple users can work on the same documents simultaneously. Everything syncs automatically."

"We can now share to team members by MS Teams and assign planners to follow and update statuses in a single platform."

"The integration and configuration need to be simplified."
"The documentation provided needs to be more detailed. It's sometimes hard to develop things because the documentation is so sparse."
"The plugins should be more affordable."
