How the product behaves in practice
Where the work sits
Import a narrow, clean network and agree on groups, enrichment and messaging rules. Do not expect it to become a full enterprise sales platform through configuration alone.
How to evaluate it
Test duplicate handling, enrichment allowances, messaging limits and export. Compare it with a structured spreadsheet and with lightweight CRM alternatives.
