  • Content Search and Retrieval: The system offers advanced search capabilities, including full-text search and metadata-driven search. Users can quickly locate documents and content based on keywords, tags, or other attributes.
  • User Interface Complexity: Some users find the interface complex and not very intuitive. Simplifying the user interface and improving user experience design could make it more accessible, especially for new users.
  • Customization Learning Curve: While the system is highly customizable, the process of configuring custom metadata, document types, and workflows can be challenging for administrators who are not experienced with the platform. Improving the customization process with user-friendly wizards or templates would be beneficial.
