Cons
"I believe there's room for improvement in establishing connections with external information.""The solution must allow customization in reporting.""IBM OpenPages needs improvement in its UI. Currently, it is difficult to see the relationships (associations/parents) between all items unless you click on the item itself."

More IBM OpenPages Cons →

"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.""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.""Technical support could be better and faster.""An additional feature I would like to see is the option to add wait time and integrate sources in wait time."
