Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Ceridian Dayforce

  • Outdated interface: the UI feels cluttered and dated, requiring excessive clicks to access basic information
  • Complex implementation: full deployments require several months and significant internal resources creating barriers for smaller organizations

  • Update disruptions: system updates occasionally cause instability and workflow disruptions requiring staff retraining

Spline

  • AI generation features produce inconsistent and often distorted results, failing at basic depth perception tasks
  • Limited to simpler designs - not suitable for high-poly, detailed production models
  • Performance degrades with complex scenes containing many objects and materials
  • Limited non-Apple platform coverage compared to cross-platform design tools
  • Tutorials are either too fast for beginners or too basic for advanced users
