  • Requires integration with separate data manipulation tools for complex data transformation
  • Lacks native Python and R code customization for proprietary algorithms
  • Dependence on cloud connectivity means offline capabilities are not available
  • Uploading sensitive data to third-party servers raises data privacy and security concerns
