Caveman ready interface. It's like an apple product; crack it open and go.

Slow to load. Frozen development because they start from scratch for each new version. Lack of native integrations because developers have to develop new integration for each new version. I wish it had some kind of webform data entry onboarding feature...

I cannot stand that you're unable to actually "close out" tickets. All you can do is archive them but never truly mark them as complete.
