Originally posted by @Jenna Waites:I know this thread is a few months old, but just FYI for anyone finding this considering Resimpli, the biggest issue I see with them is that their report options are TERRIBLE and they offer 0 customization to the metrics they do provide.On top of that they are a completely closed system so you can not pull your data out in any way to create useful reports or integrate with any other system.
