More Methodware Kairos Pros →

"The best features are the scalability and flexibility to implement applications on top of the BW.""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.""We have enterprise clients for the product.""The tool helps create reports for projects, including the creation of any ad-hoc reports""Initial setup was straightforward.

Cons
"We are currently working on making Essence one hundred percent compliant and we are not there yet."

More Methodware Kairos Cons →

"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.""We cannot actively log in to the system. It should also improve support.""An additional feature I would like to see is the option to add wait time and integrate sources in wait time.""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."
