As with all software it duplicated many functions that we achieved with different apps, so I would recommend using this app 100% for the best effect. (eg. if you use this for document organization only, but use Slack for chat, Outlook/G-Suite for messaging communications, and calendar, you'll get frustrated with having to monitor multiple platforms at once and you'll end up wasting a lot of time.

Cons Sometimes getting to a view where you could have a mile high look at your tasks and projects in a way that was digestible and actionable was a little tough. It is very linear and text heavy, so great for folks with a mind for text and words. Not great for those with visual, graphic or pictorial learning and memory styles. Review Source HL Haleema L.
