  • Features are categorized by importance and functionality
  • Both basic and advanced capabilities are documented
  • Integration capabilities and ecosystem compatibility are evaluated

4. Pros and Cons Assessment

  • Advantages and disadvantages are identified objectively
  • We consider different user scenarios and use cases
  • Common user feedback patterns are analyzed
  • Technical limitations and strengths are documented
