“That it does not automatically link files, that it reduces the quality of an uploaded image, that the edit process through images has very limited tool options, that the cropped tool was removed.”

“It is not integrated with Microsoft Dynamics so the data in Backbone does not always match up with the data in our systems that we use to track sales, allocation etc.”
