"The best feature is the user interface."
"It offers an easy initial setup."

"When we are looking at the model registry, it may be not clear sometimes. For example, if you use a single grid model and group or registry, it has a different SDK in the pilot. And it may be not so comfortable to use both of them because it is two different places for keeping things in order."
"The multiple routing policies present in the product have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The product could improve its price."
"The solution’s pricing and technical support could be improved."
"The solution is expensive."
