Cons
No answers on this topic
  • Pricing for High Usage – Costs can scale quickly for businesses with heavy file processing needs. A more flexible pricing model would be helpful.
  • Advanced Feature Learning Curve – Some of the more complex functionalities, like custom processing workflows, require deeper technical knowledge. More intuitive UI or guided setups would be great.
  • More Customization for UI Components – The default file picker is useful but could offer more styling and branding options without requiring extra coding.
