User sentiment analysis

Users highly appreciate this WordPress plugin for its simplicity, reliability, and robust functionality, especially for migrating multi-site environments. It stands out due to its flawless performance in transferring data without errors and saving users significant time and effort. The availability of a free version that includes essential features, normally reserved for premium versions in other plugins, is highly valued. Furthermore, users commend the outstanding support team for their quick, efficient, and committed assistance. However, some users reported issues like slow data import and complications with certain features, requiring support intervention. A few users experienced technical difficulties, but overall, the plugin received positive feedback for its ease of use and performance.

Im giving this a go as we are having continuous issues with the existing plugin we use for import/exports in a multisite env. So far it is looking promising. I like the ability to set the target ID of the subsite if the source ID is different.
