Cons

“Additionally working across locations was painful and if you don't close all of your tabs out between teammates, it's a good chance you will lose all of your work and rebuild the study from scratch.”

Gretchen N.

Sr. UX Director

“It doesn`t support all use cases I need, maby more testing options with native apps that doesn't include just prototype.”
VS

Vladimir S.

UX Designer

“This seemed overly complicated and had me altering my test (changing or removing questions) simply to fit within whatever time-limit they gave me with the plan I was on.”
