"The product offers very good flexibility."
"The technical support is excellent."

"If you compare it to SQL, the memory and development times are very quick."

"The solution could improve the overall features. There is a lot that can be done in the solution, therefor there are areas where it can improve. Additionally, there is a need to make it easier for one to create connections to other non-SAP systems. The flexibility to connect to other non-SAP systems is needed."
"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."
"Integration with other products could be improved."
"Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."

"One problem is accessing the data using a solution other than SAS. The SAS data, which we create in the SAS, cannot be accessed by other tools. We can't open those data in other applications. So we need to have that application in place."
"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."
"Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics."
