Cons
"We would like to have more dashboards and reports, such as geographical and trend reports in the next version. Also, an improvement in the mobile version would be helpful.""I would like to see out-of-the-box integration with more security, it would be helpful."

More MetricStream Cons →

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