I do think that this resource is well done. However, the first time I used it, I was working in Isaiah 12. I wanted to compare the Hebrew of the Qumran scrolls to the MT. Much to my surprise, chapters 11 and 12 of Isaiah are not included. This makes no sense because these chapters are in the Great Isaiah Scroll. The introduction of this product states that passages are not included in this resource if they are not found in the Qumran scrolls. Why were chapters 11 and 12 excluded? Other than these chapters, (and perhaps others that I have not yet discovered) I would say that this resource is rather helpful for quick yet in-depth textual criticism.
