Cons

  • SSO, audit logs, fine-grained permissions, and some embedding controls are paid-plan features.
  • Self-hosting adds upgrade, availability, and security-operations responsibility.

  • Advanced modeling and workbook organization take more time to learn.
  • Fast product iteration can mean documentation and UI rough edges for new capabilities.
  • Cloud-only delivery may not suit buyers requiring self-hosted analytics.
