Likelihood to Recommend
It is very well suited for B2B transaction, which applies to us. The risk management is also great as it helped us diversify our supply chain beyond the big tier one players.
It might not be the best tool for small business as they have lower transactional volumes and the features might be an overkill. The UI can be a little more friendly.
But overall, our company loves it!
