There were a lot of things that weren't available, so we are moving and integrating other things. The customization of upgrades should also be faster. We would also like to see more security features."
"From a consultant's point of view, I recommend an enhancement in terms of detailed documentation for the products on the website."
"The general speed of the solution needs improvement."
"AX does take some time and maintenance."
