Nous ne pouvons tirer que des conclusions limitées des commentaires accessibles au public, car les avis d'utilisateurs externes sont rares, ce qui rend difficile l'évaluation complète des thèmes récurrents tels que la facilité d'utilisation ou la fiabilité globale. Le compte Trustpilot actuel affiche une note de 3,7 étoiles basée sur de très rares soumissions.
Un point de louange spécifique souligné par les utilisateurs concerne la réactivité du support, notant que l'équipe basée aux États-Unis est « excellente ».
