Takeaway
I’d have liked to include diverse user experiences and opinions, but that said, I couldn’t find more critical perspectives or user reviews. Moreover, I’ve been using their service on my site as well as a handful of client sites, and I haven’t experienced a single issue.
The closest thing I’ve gotten from one client is that it was too expensive but honestly, for what you’re getting, I’ve yet to find a more affordable solution that can not only give your brand extended reach into new markets, but also protects you from legal issues (which can get very expensive, very fast).
