"The performance is pretty good, but the distortions need to be optimized in order for it to work well."
"One room for improvement is the ease of UI UX development, like in OutSystems and Mendix."
"The reporting is not as good as in similar products. They could also improve the dashboards."
"I wouldn't say their response time is long, but it could be quicker."
"My only request is that they decrease the license costs."
"Some user-defined functions for transformation must be added to the next release of the solution."
