"What they provide is way beyond the essential requirements of customers."
"The solution makes migration easy."

"Deployment should be simplified."
"The Administration of the Oracle database and the SAP ERP needs improvement."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
