Cons | |
"When you have several tasks, you open a screen in a task in developing mode, and you don't see the parent screens. Debugging lacks the effects to solve problems. You have to do it first in a kind of studio. Then you have to be sure that you can do it in Magic because there is almost nothing to debug it. It's practically impossible to debug. You have to be sure before you put your snippets." "The user interface could be improved to be more friendly for developers." | "The cost of data storage is an issue once the company grows." "I would like to have integration with Google." "The solution offers upgrades at a slower pace. The solution needs to keep up with competitors." "They need an easy way of getting details and then adding to it and then being able to do it in a more simplified way" "The marketing automation needs improvement." "Better flexibility in editing emails created from templates would be great, and being able to add hyperlinks in emails for scheduling meetings would allow us to automate more." "If you have resellers or distributors, you just need to figure out a way to set up the system in the backend. Since every company is different, it takes a little bit of time to figure that out." "The initial setup is rather complex." |
