Cons
  • Pricing and usage limits should be checked against the exact plan
  • Implementation effort depends on the team's data and process maturity
  • Reported outcomes should be validated with the buyer's own data
  • Fewer enterprise features Limited back office
  • limited back-office tooling and fewer enterprise features.
