Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Cons

"The UI is quite logical, but it needs time to train users because some functions are complex to understand. As for cons, some calculation logic is difficult to grasp and requires time to test and try out. Creating dashboards or reports needs some technical IT knowledge."
