Cons

Some recommendations and references have been erroneously detected as fraud, discarding them from the system.
Its interface can be very clean and navigable, but more knowledge is needed to understand all the functions that the program has.
Their technical support is very friendly and guides very well, but for software like this, they need much more support material.
