Cons of Using Analyticator

Data Query Issues: Analyticator is meant to provide you with a simple way to query, import, and display data in various formats. Unfortunately, the plugin often has trouble properly interpreting more complex data queries, resulting in errors and data manipulation issues. This can lead to unfavorable results, invalidating the data in your reports and other documents. It's also important to note that Analyticator does not include any support for SQL, which may be a problem if you wish to query specific data from your database.

Affects Site Performance: Using Analyticator can affect the performance of your website in a number of negative ways. The plugin uses a fair amount of energy as it executes a large number of queries and imports data from external sources. This can slow down page loading times and consume more system resources, potentially adversely affecting your website's performance.

Insufficient Documentation: Due to the complexity of the Analyticator plugin, understanding how to use the functionalities of the plugin can be daunting without sufficient documentation. Although the plugin is fairly well-documented, experienced users may find it difficult to navigate without prior experience. This problem becomes further exacerbated if you need to develop custom functions to access particular datasets.

Limited Support: The Analyticator plugin is provided without any direct support from its developers. This means that you are on your own when using the plugin, which can be problematic if you encounter any difficulty using the features or troubleshooting problems. While there is a forum for users to help each other out, having direct access to developers would be beneficial.

Vulnerable to Exploitation: Analyticator has some potential security weaknesses, such as the ability for malicious actors to access the data being imported by the plugin. As the plugin is capable of importing data from remote sources, sensitive information can be exposed if not properly secured. It's important to note that while the plugin itself does not pose any security threats, the way it accesses and displays data can make it vulnerable to exploits, if not used with caution.
