Importing from an old competitor pulled every tag folder and attachment across cleanly within a few minutes.
Encryption is enabled by default and the key management is simple enough that my less technical teammates adopted it quickly.

Open source claims turned out to apply only to a stripped down community edition missing every feature anyone would want. Cancelling my plan required calling a support line that only operates during three hours of one time zone. Not worth the hype and I regret the referrals I sent to colleagues who have since switched to a competitor.
Documentation claims features that do not exist in the shipping product which wasted a full afternoon of integration work. Login constantly times out and the password reset email arrives thirty minutes later if it arrives at all.
Works until it stops working and then recovery means logging out and back in which gets old quickly. Average across the board with no feature that stands out and nothing obvious that pushes me to leave.
Mobile sync completed within a few seconds every time which has not been my experience with similar apps. A quick glance at the activity log shows exactly who changed what and when which my auditors loved.

I noticed real improvements to my focus because distracting notification sounds have thoughtful opt in defaults.
Spyware vibes come through in the telemetry section where opting out requires editing a plain text configuration file.
Billing is straightforward with per seat pricing that scales linearly rather than hiding tiers that triple the invoice. Terminal integration lets me launch new sessions tagged by project which keeps my shell history clean and searchable.
