Yeah, for sure. I think the much better comparison is to Burn Notice or Covert Affairs - and from what we have seen i think it rates pretty damn well against both.
Its never fair to a show (or anything, generally) to compare it to the top fraction of a percent shows. They are in their own league and should only be compared to each other in "Wire vs Sopranos" style threads.
Of course what KneeCo said was:

Which is a little different, but the rule of thumb is that shows aim for the man on the street so while a lawyer might think the way they researched the case history (for example) is stupid and completely unlike what they do now with the CaseBot9000 search program so long as it makes enough sense for the average person its perfectly fine.
Like ive zero clue what spying is like, but im pretty sure its nothing like Burn Notice or Covert Affairs, but i certainly dont know enough to nitpick it so i can ignore the silliness. Which again, i dont think Suits does at all where its not obviously silly to a layperson such as myself.
