Its ok....for basics

Reviewed on 24/1/2024

Pros

Easy to setup and deploy with team members, simple functions [2.0] and very easy familiarity

Cons

We were using 2.0 this was a couple of years ago - limited function, google drive integration was a challenge, storage beyond that was an issue and it didnt really offer the scope of what we wanted moving forward

Dont know if 3.0 or whatever the current version is, is better to be honest, we moved over to Teamwork
