"The training environment wasn't very intuitive, but maybe with more use, it will get better."
"I have found the solution not easy to use. When publishing you have to download the HTML, make adjustments against the updated HTML, convert it to HTML, then finally paste the HTML. There is not an on-the-fly function available to bypass the step-by-step converting process that other solutions have."
"This product does not have a good BPMN Modeler."
"The solution itself does not need to be improved. However, they could add support for different languages."
