"It will work fine only in an SAP environment. It could be said that the integration with other vendors could be better."

"It would be nice if this solution was a bit easier to move from development to production."
"We encounter challenges while exporting implemented rules, such as those applied to objects like the material master, into a format like Excel for documentation and further analysis."
"There should be some kind of enhancement that can be done on the admin side of certain sites where we can assign the roles and responsibilities. We should be able to control who is using the tool and how."
"The solution shows a lack of cloud support data services."
"Integration with other products could be improved."
"We find we often have to go back and re-train users when there are changes made to the solution because the changes are not intuitive."
