There is definitely room for improvement there.""Zephyr Enterprise needs to redesign the reporting.""We would like support for the agile and behavior-driven development (BDD) approaches.""Creating better default varieties of reporting would make the product much better and more popular.""We have a lot of automation for our products, and we require a utility for its integration with automation. Currently, we have to write this utility ourselves. It would be great if they can provide such a utility.""Security needs improvement to protect customer information better.""The reporting, and the ability to reorganize the test repository, which are a little stifling.
