"Its price could be better. Its licensing cost is very high."
"I believe the price should be degressive, and we should have a lower, or better unit price if we have more users."

"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."

"There is a challenge on the frontend when it comes to browsing data through QlikView, as it isn't entirely compatible with other platforms we use."
