"The tool helps create reports for projects, including the creation of any ad-hoc reports"

"It is wonderful from the control perspective. The GRC tools help you in knowing what are the risk controls, how to mitigate risks, and how to ensure that there are no conflicts between the roles. From the user perspective, you get to know what are the permission risks and access risks. You get a lot of useful information."
"Initial setup was straightforward. It took maybe one week."
"The best features are the scalability and flexibility to implement applications on top of the BW."
"Some of the error reporting isn't very clear. When you're looking for information on error codes, you got to do a lot of digging."

"It would be useful for customers if COBIT 2019 could be translated into different languages."
"The technology's a little outdated."

"Its customization features could be better."
"It's resource-hungry, that's the best way of putting it."
"We cannot actively log in to the system. It should also improve support."
"BusinessObjects is very dated. It is not that user-friendly. It should be made more user-friendly. In addition, if they could make predictive analytics an embedded part of it where people get to know what is there to offer, it would be great."
"Technical support could be better and faster."
"I think the old system is better than the new one. From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to ensure that the new technologies it offers are better than the old ones."
"An additional feature I would like to see is the option to add wait time and integrate sources in wait time."
