# What’s your workaround when Drata’s integrations and automation do not go deep enough?

A big reason I chose Drata was to get away from spreadsheets and screenshots. In practice, I still end up back in manual mode when an integration is missing, very limited, or suddenly needs reauthentication. Some controls cannot be automated at all for our niche tools, and certain monitors feel too coarse, so I spend extra time explaining why some evidence is automated and other evidence is not. When an integration guide is incomplete or a chat error pops up mid‑survey, my day stalls while I search for missing steps or wait on support.
If you rely heavily on Drata’s automation, how do you handle the gaps in integration coverage or depth without falling back into heavy manual evidence collection and one‑off explanations to your auditors?
