Cons
IBM
  • Although it is a relatively simple software to use, it requires a bit of knowledge, which a new user cannot do without consolidating some previous knowledge.
  • The technical support team is not ideal; although, on many occasions we have not needed their help, the times we have interacted it has left us wanting more.

It might look complex in the beginning but once you get hold of it by going through all of the documentation then it seems to be very smooth. The configuration is comparatively easy and the user can understand it on their own without any external help. The overall learning curve is Ok.
