The drawback is that the interface is not customizable or integrated within the Kodi native database. You have a completely separate interface which has been provided by Plex.

We concluded that one of the major disadvantages of Plex was that it didn't integrate well into Kodi. A while ago, we did a comparison of Plex vs Kodi vs Emby which highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of each media center software.
