"There are certain restrictions on API integrations, and it is not simple or straightforward."

"There are some issues with the interface for version 6.5 but these may already be repaired and simplified in the new versions that have been released."
"The design and advanced workflow need to be improved."

"It's resource-hungry, that's the best way of putting it."
