What Foqal doesn't cover - yet.
Foqal is not a full ITSM platform. Asset management, ITIL certification, and change advisory boards aren't fully addressed today. It also doesn't replace your systems of record - Foqal adds the Slack-native layer and syncs bi-directionally.
If those are hard requirements, Foqal probably isn't the right fit today.
