Possible disadvantages of Epsagon

• Cost
  Epsagon can be expensive, especially for large-scale deployments or organizations with high monitoring requirements.
• Learning Curve
  Users may face a steep learning curve, particularly if they are new to distributed tracing and observability tools.
• Performance Overhead
  The additional monitoring and tracing can introduce performance overhead, which might affect the performance of your serverless applications.
• Limited Flexibility
  While robust for serverless setups, its focus can limit flexibility for applications that do not fit into this category, making it less versatile compared to some other APM tools.
• Dependency on AWS
  Epsagon is heavily integrated with AWS services, which might not be ideal for organizations using diverse cloud environments or multi-cloud strategies.

Possible disadvantages of PageSpeed Insights

• Limited Historical Data
  PageSpeed Insights doesn't maintain historical data or trends, making it difficult to track progress over time directly within the tool.
• Lack of Advanced Features
  While it's excellent for basic to intermediate analysis, it lacks some advanced features and customization options found in paid tools like GTmetrix or WebPageTest.
• Potential for Misinterpretation
  The results and recommendations can sometimes be technical and difficult for non-developers to understand, leading to potential misinterpretation or incorrect implementation.
• Server Dependency
  The tool's performance score can be influenced by server locations and current network conditions, which may not always provide a consistent assessment.
• Lag in Updates
  There can be a lag in updates to reflect the most recent changes in web development practices and Google’s own algorithms, meaning the tool might not always offer the latest best practices.
