| Biggest strength | Intuitive visual drag-and-drop pipeline interface that makes deal tracking and progress immediately obvious | Real-time collaboration is genuinely excellent — multiple designers can work simultaneously without conflicts or lag | Slackbot's contextual awareness of your team's conversations and files eliminates constant app-switching — it actually knows what you've been working on |
| Biggest drawback | Add-ons and higher-tier plans required for features teams expect to be included; total cost of ownership becomes expensive as needs scale | Performance degrades noticeably on complex files with hundreds of artboards or heavy plugins | AI features like Slackbot and summarisation require paid plans, pricing out smaller teams who'd benefit most from automation |
