  • Product is presented as cloud/tablet-first (iPad/Android); organisations seeking on‑prem hosting or regional hosting guarantees will need to evaluate hosting requirements (site does not state regional hosting).
  • Per-location pricing and how 'Contacts' are counted for multi-site deployments

inspace fit considerations

  • Buggy or slow app behavior and date/time selection issues
