"I am impressed with the tool's ability to customize."
"Its robustness is valuable. It is a full-fledged suite. We have a data warehouse model, and there are also a lot of data quality management tools. The repository and all other tools are there. So, it is a full package in terms of reporting tools."
"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.

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

"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."

"Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics."
"We implemented it a while ago, and we are trying to improve the data delivery performance. We are looking into how to get faster and automated reporting. We would need better designs and workflows."
"The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable."
