"Avolution ABACUS has the drawback of needing data filtering at the development level, unlike some tools that offer filtering at deployment. Two areas where Avolution ABACUS could be improved are regional support and flexibility in model selection. Sometimes, it's challenging to access support or updates in certain regions, which can slow down progress. Additionally, it would be beneficial if the tool allowed more flexibility in selecting multiple models within a single unit."

"The usability of the tool is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"If they want to expand in the European market then they are going to have to improve their technical support."

"The modelling needs improvement, specifically forecasting capabilities and scenarios."
"There can be some performance issues using the solution that should be improved. When you make modifications modify to files there are embedded data within that can take a while to process."
"We could allocate permissions to use only specific components to the users rather than the entire instance."
"Requirements management needs to be improved."
"There could be features for process mining, process simulation, and analytics."
"It runs relatively slowly."
