Evaluated this against two competitors. Where it wins: the automation and support is responsive. On balance the feature set — especially the integrations — justifies the 5 stars for our use case.
Solid for our team
We rolled this out across the team last quarter and it is genuinely easy to set up. The onboarding fits neatly into how we already work, and the core workflow removed a step we used to do by hand. A few rough edges remain, which is the main caveat, but it has held up under daily use.

Years in this space
I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is the onboarding — handled better than most — and it is genuinely easy to set up. Pricing gets steep at scale is my one real gripe. Worth the time if this is your use case.
