Verified reviewer

Anonymity request

“No option not to display the branding. Beushers believe they have to register in advance and therefore do not use chat.”

Dennis D.

Project Manager

“Analytics page consistently failed (was then told it wasn't an actual feature of the software which seemed to be miscommunicated from the very beginning if true).”
