Needs a lot of improvement

Not what I expected. The customization options let me tailor it to my exact workflow. The free tier is genuinely generous compared to competitors. My only complaint is the pricing could be more competitive.

Best in class, no question

Can't imagine working without it now. I've recommended this to at least 10 colleagues already. The collaboration features are genuinely well thought-out. I use this daily and it's become essential to how I work. Highly recommend.

Good for some things, not others

Useful but frustrating at times. The customization options let me tailor it to my exact workflow. Customer support response times could be faster.

Decent but has room to grow

Does the job, nothing more. The recent updates have addressed most of my initial concerns. I've tried 5 similar tools and this one is clearly the best in class.
