It gets restrictive and challenging to manage growing customer interactions without additional integrations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Basic analytics<\/strong>: Lacks comprehensive reporting features beyond message delivery, receipt, and read rates. Fails to support in-depth planning and development for future marketing strategies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lack of customization<\/strong>: Offers minimal branding or interface personalization options. Limits businesses from delivering a fully customized customer experience<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Restricted features in basic plans<\/strong>: Provides advanced functionalities like chatbots and analytics only in API-based setups.
