## Reviews

### "Complicated backend and poorly designed user desktop.  Dragged our site speed down." — 1.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *December 23, 2017* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It can integrate with Google translation and bot providers. Support was good from what appears was their only support tech.
> 
> **Cons**: The product has a complicated backend that will require help to set up and make changes.  There was a complete lack of documentation and instructions which were slowly coming out but nothing was together on the administrator's side for setup.
> 
> Make sure to measure site speed on your site before and after launching this type of integration.  Never had this problem in the past.
