Only the tool's support can be a drawback where improvements are needed. The support can be too slow, so we have to wait due to a longer response time. There is also no live access for e-learning purposes, as no one is available on the platform. As time passes, new things are implemented which are easy to access. There is clear documentation of the solution, making it a good product for all. The product's screenshots and concepts are clear. In the tool, the first step is clear, and the second step will be after the third step based on what you need. You can add the screenshots. As the product's documentation is clear, the installation can be done very easily. In the future, I want the tool to offer AI, as it can make it easy for users to get help.

Simple things are missing – being unable to easily capture flow inputs in an automated fashion is one (I shouldn’t have to write an SQL query for this). Being able to easily debug only certain sections of a flow is another (overriding responses doesn’t cut it). They could also improve on variable tracking within a flow. Implementing a find and replace feature would also be nice, so you don’t have to do it through the XML on the backend. Making a parent flow name available to the subflow it kicks off (outside of central/without going into the database).
