"The solution should offer more machine learning and automation."
"It's an ETL that is very good with relational databases but not as good with files and semi-structured files."

"There needs to be multi-language support, however, my understanding is they are working on multi-language now."
"The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable."

"Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics."
"I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations."
"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."
