Tim Guilder - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides excellent traceability along with improved efficiency and reliability
It would be good to have the product integrated with Google because that's our corporate tool of choice. I'd also like to see a notice board where you can list a summary of the top 10 items being dealt with each day. It's something that would be very helpful. I believe they're working on a chatbot but we haven't seen that as yet. I'd like it to include a space where questions asked to a chatbot can be self-triaged in terms of support or with the ability to point you towards a knowledge-based article. We've been doing some of that ourselves but it would be good to have it through a chatbot.

A stable solution that very accurately runs projects
Project availability and speed could always be improved. Most of the time, we get the target from the system. If there is a chance to improve the interface, then it should be implemented. Otherwise, our end users are satisfied with using our own interface. Reports could be pushed more quickly.
