- When i first started using Vision, over 10 years ago, the customer service was easy to access with a quick phone call at any time of the day but over time it got harder to get someone on the phone and it's common to have to leave an email and wait for someone to get back to you.
- There are some ways in which the product isn't very intuitive (no directs links from some windows to others).
