One of the downsides of using Posit Connect was the need for licenses for each individual user. This did become tedious to get the interested users' licenses to use the tool. We had a lot of interest but not a lot of trial licenses for people to try out the tool and know if this would be worth their time or effort. A trial system for licenses that would make it easier to try out people's tools would be a great benefit to better adoption. The time savings is an incredible feature and the horizontal deployability is great, but development on it can be somewhat challenging and it does seem to have a few areas where it could use some improvement to make it more robust.
Posit lacks a smooth solution for the build and release pipeline. Its documentation is weak, which can make installation cumbersome for someone without terminal experience. Additionally, there are some cost constraints associated with user scaling and the role management configuration can be tricky.
I would like to see improvements in SSH capabilities. The potential to use local environments on powerful cloud resources through SSH, as seen in other tools like Visual Studio Code, would enhance Posit’s usability for hybrid environments.
