Pros
"The tool is a SaaS product where I just need to type a URL and start with the design process. I can integrate all elements of source control like GitHub, GitLab, etc. The tool also supports authentication-related provisions like SSH.""I consider the solution very scalable.""Its dashboards are most valuable. The drill-down of the dashboards is useful."

"SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience.""SAP is renovating different things. We are using external tools to connect as of now. It is going well, and now the new generation integration platforms are going to be pretty easy.""It speeds up the performance in terms of how fast you are able to access the data, look at it, get it reported to you, and send it to somebody. It also reduces the amount of storage.""We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done."

Cons
"There's no reporting with this tool, and there really should be. They should add that into future releases.""The software does not support webhooks. It doesn't support advanced versions of APIs. The tool also doesn't support advanced versions of specifications. The change that we do in one part of the model is not reflected throughout the specification. There are also some mutations in the clones. I am not able to do a local source control with the product as well.""Some customizations of the dashboard, such as having backup reports, would be useful."

More Quest Spotlight Cons →

"I would like to see it become mobile-friendly.""Improvement is a never ending story, and HANA is doing some improvements. We are able to adopt that, and we have to do it by integration with HANA. They are very major changes that we need to see.""There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support.""The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades."
