There is not an on-the-fly function available to bypass the step-by-step converting process that other solutions have."
"The portal of SAP PowerDesigner could be better. The tool also needs more features and integration with other products, such as Collibra. It would be interesting for SAP PowerDesigner to have more integration."

"Connectivity can be improved because it's not very good."
"Not very intuitive or user-friendly."
"UI could be improved by enabling simpler navigation."
