"Data modeling is a valuable feature."

"The speed of operations could be a little faster."

"The dashboard should be simplified and made easier for exploration and decision making."
"There's the complexity in migration from BW to BW/4HANA, especially with data migration."
"We cannot integrate with third-party tools like Python or advanced integration options. You can't fine-tune tables within BW or generate specific views or reports."
"The licensing cost could be made better."
"Support could be more reliable."
"The program is difficult to learn to use"
"Design and modeling could be simplified."
"Connectors are complex, and it is difficult to understand or know which connector should be used. For instance, if I want to connect APIs, I will not be able to do it directly. I would have to go to the portal integration to get the data. Therefore, having simplified connectors will make things much easier."
"It is difficult when your native language is not English. It is difficult for us to explain our issue and also difficult for the technical team to explain a resolution to us."
"The product could provide more features."
"There are performance issues in terms of scalability and availability."
"I think more integration with other applications would be perfect."
