Cleaner

“There are certain complexities to the program that aren't easy for the newest person or even a more experienced person to navigate. Albeit is comprehensive, the format is a bit archaic, as it is a lot like MsDOS in functionality. ”

Cons

“The system can be a little tricky to navigate initially because of all the features/customisable options in the back end for Admin Users.”
