"I can connect with different databases such as Oracle Database or SQL Server. It allows you to extract the data from one database to another. I can structure the data by filtering and mapping the fields. It is very user-friendly. You need to know the basics of SQL development or SQL queries, and you can use this tool."

"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."
"The solution could use better documentation."
"We find we often have to go back and re-train users when there are changes made to the solution because the changes are not intuitive."

"The physical appearance of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product could be more intuitive."
"Multiple products are there within the product suite. That can be actually trimmed down."
"The solution needs more integrations."
