Jack Otieno - PeerSpot reviewer
Plug-and-play kind of tool and easy to use
The initial setup is not very easy. It has modern complexity. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a seven out of ten, with ten being easy. The implementation was gradual. We started using it a little bit, and we worked on the other collaborative aspects of it. So it was a gradual thing.
