having said that

Still, on reflection

Having said that introduces a contrasting point that qualifies or contradicts what you just stated: The movie has some slow moments. Having said that, the ending is spectacular.

It signals that the speaker acknowledges a previous claim but wants to add a complicating factor.

Synonymous with that said, that being said, and nevertheless.
