CLIs allow users to automate repetitive tasks and execute commands quickly, resulting in increased productivity and faster completion of tasks. CLIs offer more control over the system compared to graphical user interfaces (GUIs) as they allow users to directly interact with the system's core components and services. CLIs are platform-independent and can be used on any operating system that supports a terminal or shell, making it a flexible tool for users.
I have not used these products, although it makes it easier that they are available if we want them. For instance, Third-party services often offer cost-effective solutions compared to developing in-house solutions. But on the other hand, Relying on third-party services can lead to dependence on those services, making it difficult to switch to alternative solutions. Also, Third-party services may not provide the level of control required for a specific application, leading to limited customization options.
