There is a lot of online material that can be used as a reference. You can help yourself while developing a solution. There are some prebuilt applications in the platform environment. You can very easily customize and integrate these applications. It also has flexible scaling of machine resources, which is really great."

Having it on the cloud, we are able to forget about keeping them updated or taking care of the database. We have minimal maintenance."

"I would like to see better relationships with the partners."
"Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules."
"For HR, the workforce planning out of the box is complicated. For most users, it's not easy, and it requires a learning curve. It's not very user-friendly. It can be improved."
