> [@B\_Sp](#): > > as far as search, you guys have some very nice aspects, such as speed, default to most recently viewed, and a few others, but definitely **do not** agree you’re superior to Clickup, Wrike, Asana, and a bunch of other tools that have all kinds of filters, snippets more built out I think you misunderstood me. I was definitely **not** saying that Fibery is superior to all other tools for search. Quite the reverse. My point was that if you pick a product area, say search, Fibery is not as good as the best implementation out there, that is true. And the same will be true for notifications, the same will be true for whiteboards, and for reports/analytics, and for Gantt charts, and for… But it is not the same tool that is at the top of each of these lists. If you want the best whiteboard experience, maybe you pick Miro, but you don’t get the best Gantt chart experience in Miro(!) If you want the best notifications experience, pick X, but X will not be as good as Y for search. and so on… Each potential user will place different weighting on the various features/product areas, and it is true that for some people, a particular area is so vitally important that a sub-optimal experience is a deal-breaker (which was clearly almost the case for @HereBeBeasties ) > [@HereBeBeasties](#): > > notifications are honestly the biggest drawback … and very nearly made us not buy the product. But for every user that complains that product area X is just not good enough, there are other users for whom X is just about good enough. It’s like the pareto principle in multiple dimensions. > [@B\_Sp](#): > > And never thought Fibery was mediocre at everything No, that’s a quote from the Fibery website 🙂 > [@B\_Sp](#): > > I’m pretty sure nobody on the Fibery team would be satisfied with the current state of notifications, search, mobile-friendly platforms, etc. for the next 10 years. Totally agree, and I have no doubt that improvements will come, but as a counter example, there are many votes for Fibery to get a native implementation of [form view](https://community.fibery.io/t/in-dev-form-view-and-required-fields/680) and at the moment Fibery has nothing to offer. When thinking of the 80/20 principle, putting development resources into form view may generate a better return (in terms of number of potential users) than incremental improvements to notifications/search/timeline… TLDR any user can pick a particular product area and say “Why can’t Fibery do it as well as Acme Co?” but it would be impossible for Fibery to devote enough resources to become the best-in-class in that area without forfeiting opportunities for improvement in other areas. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.fibery.io/t/done-watcher-of-an-entity/563)._
