Cons

“We were a bit startled because of the security issue they faced and we had to renew all of the secrets which was painful.”

Vianney D.

Head of Engineering

“What seems at first convenient ends up quite confusing. And it's easy to get lost with security contexts.”

Vianney D.

Head of Engineering

“This doesn't happen nearly as often anymore, but we used to experience random 'hangs' that were not explained by our own processes - canceling and restarting the job always did the trick though.”

Paul C.

VP Engineering

Cons

“The challenge is that when we need help from customer service, they're in a different time zone, making the problem-solving process slower.”

Lachlan d.

Lead Developer

“The only drawback is that for some features, you need to have an advanced version”

Sandro S.

FE Developer and PM

“Additionally, I found that the user interface can be a bit overwhelming at times, with multiple menus and options that can be difficult to navigate.”
