Capitaine Train vs Voyages SNCF?

hi
We have booked successfully online with SNCF in the past. Recently I have heard of Capitaine Train which gets good reviews. Has anyone any first hand knowledge of them and what would be the advantages of using them rather than the official French rail web-site?
Thanks
