Performance degradation with large files containing thousands of layers
Library components and unloaded pages not accessible offline

Huly

Cloud pricing charges separately for storage and video/audio bandwidth, which can be unpredictable.

Being a broad all-in-one tool, individual modules are less deep than dedicated best-of-breed products.
Self-hosting requires operational effort compared to fully managed competitors.
