"It is complex to set up."
"The Notes application could be better."
"Its integration with one of the third-party platforms could be better."
"The UI is beautiful but not easy to use, and also a little slow. Anything that you click is slow to load. It is also not easy to find something. I do not find the left-hand side menu good.

"Heroku doesn't support Docker images on the CI infrastructure."
"Heroku should increase its slug size limits."
