No network rendering capabilities. Do not underestimate how important that is in the production pipeline.

In a production studio, it is ideal to have artists working on a scene submit their scene to the render queue which will then churn away 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, rendering frame by frame and sending those completed frames to a server for the compositors to access them. Meanwhile, the animators' workstations are left free to continue to develop new scenes and add them to the queue.

In my work on a Battlestar Galactica fanfilm with Lightwave, a render farm is essential to get renders of a TV-quality level without tying up my computer for weeks rendering out a single scene. I would be using Poser in that fanfilm right now if it had network render capabilities. As it is, I'm looking at adding Carrara into the production pipeline just to access some Poser characters.
