"The area that could be improved is the upgrade process, it's not the easiest. Oracle stopped supporting our version. So we have to move either to the cloud or work in a non-supported situation. That was certainly a disadvantage. That's also the reason why we decided not to stay with Oracle. Now we are moving to SAP."
"The product was too complicated when it came to navigating through multiple places and the search filters weren't great."
"It could always be cheaper. There is no doubt about it."

They could include the technical development of reports instead of depending completely on programming. The programming method needs to be easy."

"The integration with others application could be easier. There are many different features that this solution offers which could be easier to implement."
