Likelihood to Recommend

Simplifying automation for nontechnical staff and making things just work quickly and with limited complexity. Documentation could be improved to include more examples as it currently doesn't include many examples of all the various functions and features that the application is more than capable of running to provide the best available use of the product.

Simplify your automation tasks.
