Srinivas Rao Kagitha - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers good dashboards and reports but fails to offer better migration features
The migration is a bit difficult in the tool. Whenever we make certain changes to workflow or other stuff, migrating the code from one environment to another is a bit tedious. The tool has an option for export and import, which is not robust. Most of the time, we need to do things stuff manually. For example, if we make any changes in the existing life cycle or any queues, we have to move those changes manually. There is no robust way to migrate code from one environment to a lower environment, like prod. When it comes to the product's technical support, the turnaround time is a bit longer than expected. The issue may be because there are a number of issues or a large number of customers who are reaching out to the support team for help. I believe that the solution's technical team can provide a solution more quickly.

I would like to see improvements in the web client and the workflow engine.
I think that the biggest area for improvement is for their core component, the Java Core Server (JCS). In addition, there could be improvement in the following areas: * Saperion web client: Does not support many rich-client features and is inconsistent between thin and thick clients * The VBA macro API was very poor * No real toolset provided * No debugging options * Workflow engine * No official and supported procedure of deploying/moving a solution between stages, which was officially stated by the vendor
