## Reviews

### "Effective & Progressive" — 5.0/5

> **Odukunle** | *11 September 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It provides AI driven insights; in a world where everything is driven by artificial intelligence, this comes in really handy with the sage. This functionality plays out in inputting things like vat which helps with tax compliance.
> 
> **Cons**: Software updates are mandatory and they have a cost to it. This is concerning because that’s unexpected expense for any company.
