"One can rate all the calls and that is a good feature."

"This product is tightly integrated with the RPA automation process."
"It gives us the ability to create toolkits and use them across many different applications. It allows us to write things one time, instead of having to write a diary for every single different application. We can write at once and reuse it."
"The solution reduces the time to the resolution which is essential for businesses."

"In terms of improvement, it could be less complex."
"Improvements could be made in debugging and troubleshooting."
