Challenges in Manual NSF to PST Conversion
The NSF to PST conversion method is free of cost and even helpful in some situations, but it has many limitations as well. Some of them are:

Complicated and tedious method for a novice user
Time-consuming and fails to migrate the entire data in one go.
Higher possibility of manual error is present.
If not handled correctly, might cause corruption in the NSF file
Data loss or incomplete data export is also frequent.
Selective conversion is not possible
Converts only one NSF file at a time, making the process lengthy and monotonous
