So, they can see everything in a dashboard. So, it is very easy to use from a technical standpoint of view."
"The stability is good."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Adaptive Insights could improve the data designer interface to make integrations easier to set up."

"The product's configuration process could be faster."
"The upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful."

"The licensing needs improvement. There needs to be a middle option between Pro and Premium versions."
"There are some connector-related issues in their MSBA solution."

"There are certain features that are only available in the cloud version.

We need more cost-effective features that are available in the cloud to be accessible on-premise."
"Defining a relationship was very confusing. There were circular directions for which I had to do a lot of adjustments in the data. They can do something to make it easier."
