One Call Now is a great program that is easy to use and provides trusted results. It helps small business like ours reduce man power when trying to send out important notifications. Traditionally, before One Call Now, we would need to send out email notifications only, and we did not have the man power to make phone calls, or the technology to send out text notifications. One Call Now allows us to do all of the above in one step.

Abstract has a difficult learning curve. If a feature-branch workflow is new to you, then it will take some getting used to. They make a lot of updates to the interface and these feature releases get ahead of their documentation. They rely heavily on an excellent customer support team and are present on various Slack channels to help design professionals with issues.

Abstract by nature is complex and has to respond to whatever changes in Sketch. So there are frequent issues. Support can be slow to respond and are not always helpful, but they are quick to find and patch the bugs. Overall, it's not the best support, but it hasn't been detrimental.
