More OpenText Business Process Monitoring Cons →

"The support team could be better. Because of the different versions of different tactics of integrating reactive code base, the documentation is not very clear if someone has to be onboard. I would rate the documentation of Lightstep a five out of ten. It could need improvement.""The dashboard and graphics must be improved.""The design of this solution is not very intuitive and probably could come with more friendly tips for beginners."
