Usability

I rated overall Clay usability with 8 due to performance limitations, it experiences noticeable lag and operates at a significantly slower speed when handling tables containing more than 1,000 rows. This slowdown affects efficiency, making tasks involving large datasets more time-consuming and less responsive, ultimately impacting the overall user experience and workflow productivity when working with extensive data sets.

Likelihood to Recommend

Great in data enrichment, demonstrating a strong ability to gather, enhance, and organize information effectively, as well as keeping it up to date. However, when it comes to composing messages, the proficiency is not as high, making it a challenge to craft well-structured, engaging, and impactful written communication that effectively conveys ideas and resonates with the audience.
