While Avantra is currently excelling in monitoring and system refreshes, there is scope for improvement in automating change request management. In addition to primarily focusing on SAP, Avantra currently performs kernel patches which are core SAP patches. However, exploring more into OS patching could be another potential area for Avantra to expand its automation capabilities."

"The product needs to reduce its price."

"One area that could benefit from improvement is its performance"
"They should incorporate more artificial intelligence. There should also be more predictive features."
