It is great for monitoring internet connections.
The agent installed on Windows works efficiently and takes up little resources. The method of settling costs is not very clear.
There should also be a table with the current list of costs visible.

Glassbox
Glassbox is a customer experience management platform that provides various tools, including Interaction Maps, to help organizations understand and improve the customer journey. Some specific scenarios where Glassbox is well suited include: Identifying pain points in the customer journey: The Interaction Maps feature provides a visual representation of customer interactions, allowing organizations to easily identify where customers may be struggling and take action to resolve the issue. Proactively addressing issues: With the Interaction Maps feature, organizations can proactively address issues as they arise, rather than relying on customer feedback to identify problems. Improving customer service: By understanding the customer journey, organizations can improve the overall customer experience and provide top-notch customer service. On the other hand, there may be some scenarios where Glassbox is less appropriate, such as: Organizations with a limited budget: Glassbox is a subscription-based service, so it may not be suitable for organizations with a limited budget or those who are not willing to make the investment in customer experience management tools. Organizations with minimal online presence: Glassbox is primarily focused on improving the online customer journey, so it may be less appropriate for organizations with a minimal online presence.

  • Some shiny new features are hard to use and/or optimize
  • The email templates need improving. They are stiff and unfriendly.
