Cons
"The solution should be made tablet friendly because it works well on iPhones and Android phones, but does not work on tablets.""The bulk email ID creation must be improved. I had to create 50 to 60 IDs manually because when I tried the bulk option, it didn't work. I still had to cross-verify because some fields were empty.""With the number of available integrations these days, it would be beneficial to have more ready-to-integrate technologies in other products as well.""This solution is not stable, it wasted my time.""Lacks sufficient integration with management tools.""I think the cost of this product is a little higher than I would expect.""There is room for improvement in support, they should work on overall competence and turn-around time.""API integrations are not supported for all HR tools."

"I expect usability features to become more refined over time. I'm interested to see how it evolves and continues to improve.""There is room for improvements when it comes to the licensing.""When there are issues I would like remediation to be in one place.""There is room for improvement with the introduction of AI functionality.""An improvement would be if there was an another way to manage the logs besides email because it's not so practical.""The solution lacks self-service on password reset. It also needs to improve its scalability.""If you buy direct, there is a minimum of 150 licenses that must be procured. The price point and barrier of entry is a little bit higher than it would be if you purchased the solution from an authorized reseller partner, rather than buying it and managing yourself.""The Linux compatibility of this solution could be improved."
