"Not very intuitive or user-friendly."
"This product does not have a good BPMN Modeler."
"There are many areas of this solution that needs to be changed."
"Regarding improvements, I suggest enhancing the connection between objects in process and data models. It's crucial to define the structure of objects, especially when dealing with standard frameworks like VMM. There should be better visualization of arrows between BPM and data modeling objects, specifying their structure and impact. For future versions, a feature similar to Bizagi, allowing users to see forms or SQL representations of objects, would be valuable for demonstrating and presenting project details to stakeholders."
"Technical support could be better and more human."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"The solution is very, very expensive. It would be ideal if it was a more affordable product."
