    Cons
    Acoustic
    • The organization of the application is poor and some elements could be more easily accessible not buried in menus.
    • There is little to no community around the application and what does exist is out of date.
    • Does not work well with our IBM applications as well as you would expect, which seems a common issue with IBM products.

    GatherContent
    • Getting emails for every single change is really annoying.
    • It seems pretty easy, but I suggest you take time to train anyone who will be working on it.
    • API integrations could be better as it doesn't work 100% of the time.
    • Layouts created are static and you can not move the order.
