Multiple people can work simultaneously on one file, however if too many people do this at one time, performance degrades
We are going through a process now in which even though it is a benefit in which you can have multiple people accessing this file, if you have too many people accessing it, the performance of the file goes down tremendously, and it ends up freezing up. That has been an issue that we have been experiencing.

Reasonably priced, stable, with out of the box deployment, and has good local support
They have now reworked it. The interface is mobile-friendly and it is getting a good response from our customers. It's a very good feature that the product offers. It is also available as a cloud option, which is getting a lot of interest from customers who are looking into the GRCC. It is very useful, especially in the solution platform. It has good features and good functionality, and our customers feel there is a lot of merit in that. I think that the portal is constantly improving. They do their own enhancements very often. They keep doing those enhancements from their site itself.
