### "Significant shortcomings" — 2.0/5

> **Ohad** | *10 March 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's a CRM for schools. The basic functionality is there. REST APIs for data access.
> 
> **Cons**: Atrocious atrocious service. No response from the account manager or service dept for weeks, basic features broken, and no response to escalations. I don't think they care at all, as an organization.
