Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited language support beyond Dutch

   Frog is specifically designed for the Dutch language and lacks robust support for other languages.

2. 02

   Complex setup process

   Setting up Frog requires a detailed configuration, including downloading specific models and dependencies which can be time-consuming.

3. 03

   Small community and limited third-party integrations

   Due to its niche focus on Dutch NLP, the ecosystem around Frog is relatively small compared to more general-purpose NLP libraries like spaCy or NLTK.

4. 04

   Performance issues with large datasets

   Processing large volumes of text can be slow and resource-intensive, leading to potential bottlenecks in production environments.
