Cons
"The product's pricing has increased over the years.""It would be beneficial if the software could improve its capabilities when extracting data from databases, particularly for those who may not be familiar with SQL queries.""The ease of use could be better.""​Reporting and presentation of information directly to solutions, such as PowerPoint.​"

"I think the old system is better than the new one. From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to ensure that the new technologies it offers are better than the old ones.""BusinessObjects is very dated. It is not that user-friendly. It should be made more user-friendly. In addition, if they could make predictive analytics an embedded part of it where people get to know what is there to offer, it would be great.""We cannot actively log in to the system. It should also improve support.""An additional feature I would like to see is the option to add wait time and integrate sources in wait time.""Technical support could be better and faster."
