Limited customization — Dashboards and reports are mostly pre‑built. Great for consistency, but frustrating if you want to build highly tailored views or complex calculated fields.
Slow performance during peak loads — Large datasets or multi‑retailer queries can feel sluggish, especially compared to modern BI tools.
Rigid data structures — The platform expects data in specific formats, which can limit how you slice or join information.
Limited ad‑hoc exploration — Analysts who want free‑form querying, SQL access, or deep drill‑downs often feel constrained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
