"It could use some system enhancements, such as better dashboards."
"The solution’s initial setup is difficult."
"Regarding certain issues in the solution, it can be difficult to generate reports if we have a program that is not user-friendly for reporting. While this is not necessarily negative, we may need to use another solution."

"Then there is also an issue with capacity and limited space. That is something that needs to be improved."
