Cons
"The solution cannot be deployed on the website and shared with others through its own platform.""The tool needs to improve its pie charts.

Searching through thousands of parameters can be a tedious and less straightforward process. While the documentation is available online and serves its purpose, I often encounter difficulties in finding the information.""I believe that the prices of the tool's paid services could be on the premium side, so the pricing model can be considered for improvement."

"It needs more presentation/charting capabilities and integration with GIS."
