From experience, be very careful of the sales department attempting to sell you autopilot or additional licenses that they will tell you, you dont have to pay for because your assets with one of their fund partners qualifes you for free licenses. In my opinion, I woudn't say we were scammed but were sold on this fact, and they over subscribed us licenses includding one Autopilot licensed which we didn't need. Now, that the fund drop out of the NTF program they are full boating us the $1300 per month for licenses. Their remedy was for us to sign a new 12 month agreement, and they dropped the Autopilot license. Since the CEO has left this year, the name and sadly the company has changed.
