Usability

It has a big business impact without having to be perfect. It’s very reliable for automating messages at scale, especially for events and multi-channel messages. it reduces manual work and makes responses faster. However, it’s obviously designed for large businesses, so the cost and complexity might be too much for small teams or new products. It’s very powerful but sometimes not light or flexible enough for custom projects
