What do you dislike about the product?
The new user experience promises long-term benefits like mobile use and cross-platform use, but it still needs to be improved in terms of functionality to allow for the same pros that the old interface had.
For example, the amount of data can fit into a new user experience page is considerably lower compared to oldinterface dashboards.
