The UI and UX of the platform requires some work since the platform is not for all screen sizes and the experience with certain features such as authentication and creating alerts is not great. The session times out while performing an action and having to repeat the entire action once again, which is not a great experience. Adding notification channels while creating the alerts is not seamless. But the platform has good UX with some great documentation for integrations along with the ability to customise dashboards.
