"In general, the entire suite of PaaS is valuable. It enables a true breakdown of IT siloes and allows an organization to embrace DevOps."
"The solution is very stable for Windows setups."
"The product helps us to use it as a central ERP and HCM."

"The performance and processing capability are excellent."
"It is a strong tool that offers more dynamic reporting capabilities while being user-friendly at the same time, and it can also be made better."

"Difficult to understand how it works and it's an expensive solution."
"The biggest area needing improvement involves the licensing cost."
