How was the initial setup?

It's kind of complex if user wants to implement LDAP authentication, such as defining the scope and filters.

What about the implementation team?

We implement it ourselves and then embedded it into our product. It’s not easy to separate the different components one needs.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I don't know much, but I have heard that the price is too high.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We are looking for a different solution but have not determined one yet.

What other advice do I have?

It’s a comprehensive BA tool including ETL and reporting. It’s easy to use with a small dataset, but you will need to dig deep to optimize the performance when the data set is huge.
