Pros

The screen sharing feature is very helpful for us in presentations.
With help of recording, we can record our whole session and can check flaws.
Its price is very much reasonable and sophisticated.
I like its customer service that is always on the go to help customers.

Cons

It requires a profoundly strong internet connection or else it stops working.
It is buggy.
There should be an update on it.

My team and I can better coordinate.
I am able to bring my team on one page and can communicate freely.
