"Colours used on report objects"
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
"The solution should improve its graphics."
"There are scalability issues. It depends on the data volume and number of end-users. VA requires a lot of hardware resources to move volumes of data."
"In terms of configuration, I would like to see AI capabilities since many applications are now integrating AI."
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
"There are certain shortcomings in the tool's support services, making it an area where improvements are required."
