| Limitations | ✗ Publytics offers in-depth charts and graphs on user behaviour based on the filters set by the publishers, but the charts could be more sophisticated visually ✗ Users lacking technical expertise might find it challenging to add custom dimensions according to preferences and create personalized reports | ✗ Intermittent crashes while viewing live data ✗ Teams may require training to utilise features such as Tentacles or the User Needs Model |
