"Some customizations of the dashboard, such as having backup reports, would be useful.""There's no reporting with this tool, and there really should be. They should add that into future releases.""The software does not support webhooks. It doesn't support advanced versions of APIs. The tool also doesn't support advanced versions of specifications. The change that we do in one part of the model is not reflected throughout the specification. There are also some mutations in the clones. I am not able to do a local source control with the product as well."
